I had GPS Pools quote a resurface and retile of my pool. Jeremy was super attentive, quite helpful and very knowledgeable. He worked with me and my schedule. From draining to refilling my pool was only one week! This may be an edge case but the weather was cooperative. Amazing turnaround and the project was seamless. The entire crew was great and very communicative. Jeremy especially was very responsive and kept me informed all the way. I highly recommend GPS Pools. Update: Just today I had GPS Pools replace my DE filter with a cartridge filter and Rob the technician was outstanding. He made quick work and gave me a crash course on operating and cleaning it. He also gave me some advice and recommendations. I appreciate his professionalism- like Jeremy and the rest of the crew I’ve dealt with!
I love my new tile and marcite, but I really love my turtles. From the start to the finish everything ran very smoothly and that is because Roy coordinated everything. Roy was absolutely a pleasure to work with and he was there every step of the way, every day he let me know exactly what was going on. We picked a tile that had a very unique design, so Roy checked with us to see exactly which way we wanted the design to go. We told him and he passed that information onto the tile installer. Bruno was in charge of everything related to the tile. He removed the old tile and prepped the area for new tile. It was absolutely fascinating to watch him work. He is so incredibly talented and very fast. Bruno also installed my beautiful mosaic tile turtles. There were nine turtle hatchlings on the steps. He was very helpful with the placement of them, as they are not all the same. We have an extremely deep pool and so therefore we put four larger turtles where the pools drops off significantly and they are all pointed in the direction of the deep end. We put a large 20 inch turtle in the very bottom of the pool and it appears the four turtles are following her. The new jets they installed are so powerful, sometimes it appears they are actually swimming. It was fun watching the marcite crew apply the new marcite, at one point there were actually seven people working on it in some way or another. Also when everything was finished you would have never even known several people had been working at my house, other than my beautiful new pool. I always read reviews before I make a decision on who I would like to do the work. I don’t write many reviews and when I do it’s because I’m very dissatisfied or very happy with the outcome. In this case it’s pretty obvious why I choose to write this review. Also, price was a big issue with me as well. One company actually quoted a price that was almost twice what GPS quoted me. I neglected to mention that everything was done in one week. I love GPS Pools and highly recommend them.
Found out about GPS through word of mouth. I can't say enough about this company. I had a tree fall through my pool cage damaging my pool deck and leaving the pool a mess needing resurfacing. GPS Pools took good care of me from start to finish. Explaining all options thoroughly and working to find solutions to solve my needs. The guys that did the work were very professional the work space was tidied up every night during the paver installation and I was kept informed of timeliness. The results are beautiful and I couldn't be happier.
We started using this company 10 years ago buying a pool heater and frankly that went well and the owner Jeremy did the work. BUT over the years as their quality help in the store left it has gone way down hill. It became totally hit and miss on in store visits to check water condition. We actually dropped them for Pool Duck a while back when we needed service. I young man answered the phone and it became obvious he couldn't care less if used them to fix our pool or not. The day of the scheduled repair came and went, so I called this time a lady answered & said she had no record of our service call. Again she was rude and basically implied I was making the entire thing up. Called Pool Duck they were very nice , pool was fixed the next day at a very fair price. Bought a little equipment from Amazon to check water myself and buy all my chemicals from Amazon too, they are way cheaper anyway. I'd been using GPS for convince and their friendly knowledgeable staff, but those people are long gone.
I've always had good experiences with GPS. This time I had no circulation in my pool plumbing. My own troubleshooting found water at the filter but not at the salt cell, with what I assumed were 3 possible sites of blockage that I could not undo myself. Chad came out to check. He was great. We started up my pump and it wouldn't prime. Chad took his time checking multiple points to identify air leaks and found two areas where I had not properly sealed in my troubleshooting. He then went step by step to identify the location of the blockage, which he found at the second spot where he replaced a check valve. Everything works great again. Thanks Chad and GPS!
