Can anyone recommend a good reliable, emphasis on reliable, pool cleaning company such as Howard's or Pool Boy? I'm looking for a full service company not just adding chemicals. Thanks in advance

We use Fulton pools. I know they are a little more expensive than some others but we are happy with them.

I recommend Pool Boy. Fulton does not have as many people on staff.

I highly recommend Feller's Pool Service. They are very reliable, mature, private owners. Not a chain, so they work harder to keep their clients happy. I pay $75.00 a month for weekly scrubbing, balancing of salt, vacuum and cleaning of the filter. They are here ON TIME, SAME TIME, every week!

Let me know if you would like their number!

Highly recommend Fulton pools

They have been doing my pool for 3 years and never an issue.

I'd recommend Howard's.

I know many of the guys that have worked there for many years, and they are all good guys. They all say the boss is a great guy too but takes no ^%$! He gives cash bonuses for showing up on time all week, and fires those that don't. They give regular performance based raises and up-hire from within, so the guys actually want to do well.

You'll take your chances with any company, but I'd go with one that has no problem firing riff-raff while promoting good workers. .


PS...their trucks are all tracked by GPS, so the boss knows when he was there and for how long. OR, if he was not there at all .

Howards has been great for us. We do not live at our PGI home yet. Howards has been taking care of our pool for a couple years. Very reliable, we have the economy service.

They also let us know when we had a small leak and recommended someone to correct the problem (reasonably). They also installed lanai screen door key lock and always lock when leaving.

Talk to Lori.

We had our pool installed by Fulton. We have only had the pool for 8 years and the tile grout is all coming out. We have to have our pool drained and the grout redone on the tile and steps. Fulton gave us a quote for $800 and said they could do it in about 6 weeks. Pool Boy came out the next day and gave us a quote of $650 and they are starting on it Monday.
