Pool start up

Exceptional service. I called to have my pool lights installed and pool cleaned and two days later a team of two were at my home. It was raining but Amy and Denis were smiling. They cleaned the pool and emailed me a video explaining the completed work.

Excellent Service

Marco from HB pools went above and beyond to make sure my concerns were addressed and our pool was running.
He was patient, caring, and attentive. He stayed as long as it was needed to fix the problem and to make sure everything is taken care of.
He taught me how to use the tools and never got tired of my questions as a new pool owner.
Thank you very much Marco. You are a great asset to your team and HB pool company.

Bad Company

Simply needed help opening our pool, said they would. Paid 800$ expecting that and chemicals for the summer. They dropped off unnecessary chemicals for our chlorine pool. Called and asked for the correct items, and they switch salt they had left, for chlorine tablet, but didn’t replace other incorrect items. After finally getting someone on the phone, we’ve been removed from the email list and still have chemicals we don’t need and an unopened pool. Safe to say I’m not happy and would highly recommend you find help anywhere else BUT HBPools.

We're sorry to hear that! Mistakes certainly happen and when brought forward respectfully we will go above and beyond to fix our errors. Early in the season is always the worst time to get a hold of us on the phone which is why we encourage homeowners to send 1 email. We go through them from oldest to newest, always. We Hope you found a great team to service your pool.

In-Ground Pool Repair

Over the winter my pool stairs cracked and the pool lost about 2 foot of water. The pool is 16yrs old so a new liner was needed which I wasn't surprised. My insurance company (COSECO) covered about half of this cost. After they remove the liner we discover that the skimmer had been leaking since day one and needed to be replaced as well as a portion of the wall in front of it. All in all this crew did an amazing job, very professional. The quote I got from them was in-line with the other 2 quotes I got but prefer to keep business local to me. Thank you so much.

Francis Thank you for the kind review! If you're ever stuck in a scenario like his, it's important to know specifically what your home insurance company will cover. Before contacting a pool restoration company, always double check coverage documents .

Thank you so much Mme Dussault. It's true most many of our service Clients aren't aware we originally started off as an installation company and can help with design and build as well.

Pool opening

They came to open my pool today. Great friendly service, answered all my questions and gave me a overall operating schedule. We just moved here last fall so my first season with this pool. I would reccomend this company to anyone looking for great service. The company even delivered all my chemicals for the year prior to opening.

Very satisfied with the pool opening. Will use the pool closing service at the end of the season. Had requested some minor repairs, such as lights and tubing. Done without problems.

Inground pool closing (annual)

As in the past four years, I called HB to close my pool. The cost is $272 if the water is lowered otherwise, add another 70 (or so). Two guys come and it takes less than 30 min to complete. I would call to make the appt; dispatch would schedule it and confirm date/time; and would confirm other details. The other details in my case has always been the same: the vinyl lets go in two places (just slightly out of the track and about 4" in total width). In the past Dispatch confirms that while I am paying for an hour service the guys have lots of time to do this. Not so this year. One guy comes by, one full week earlier than booked, and informs me that the very small vinyl "repair" is an additional cost. The owners father informed me that it is an add'l $169 however, given my story of the past, he offered to lower it by $50. I cannot comment on the quality of their work but I can comment on customer service. While we can agree that service costs are real, their is a level of judgement and discretion that could have been exercised. I am very disappointed.

We're sorry we disappointed you. We understand that having to pay for two services rather than one can be frustrating. However, it's important to note that When planning service routes, we factor time allocations, and charge based on the service requests. If the liner or lights or stairs needs repairs, regardless of travel and date of service, a minimum service charge applies for that repair (regardless of the day of completion) and we offer a 50$ rebate for the second service. You may not see it from our perspective but by offering this rebate, we still cover our costs for sending technicians onsite to tackle the liner re-hook. We wish you the best and hopefully you were able to find a great service team to continue servicing your pool.
