I used the Pool Guy based on Google reviews to help me find a reputable team to handle our pool inspection on the purchase of our home with an existing pool. The previous Google reviews listed that they were quick, precise, thorough. and appropriately priced and that they worked off of a protocal for pool inspections. We are more than satisfied with the price in regards to the wealth of industry expertise that Kyle brought to this inspection. After careful discussion of all pool concerns, he was very quick to get the actual report emailed to me. John handled all followup questions via email. I

I find both Kyle and Matt to be both very knowledgeable in their specific areas of expertise. Friendly while professional and problem solvers! Easy to communicate with which is also tantamount. I appreciate everything they have done and continue to do with the pool and the salt generator.

I would definitely recommend The Pool Guy to be your service provider, if you have a pool. Our technician Ronnie comes out every week and takes great care of our pool. Ronnie does a great job and keeps me informed every step of the way on what hes doing to the pool. Anytime I have had an issue with my pool and I needed something done right away, The Pool Guy has been on top of it! I highly recommend the Pool Guy for all of your pool needs.

We have been using The Pool Guy for a few months now and we couldnt be happier. Everyone from the office staff to the pool technicians are friendly, helpful and professional. Our pool technician, Farrell, has been maintaining our pool and does a thorough job each week, provides complete chemistry results and a photo of our pool when hes finished. I would recommend them to family or friends.
