Report
I posted a review a few months ago about an issue we had with our pool re-plastering. I spoke with AJ who sent someone out to inspect and correct. They told me to contact the office because this wasn't their work. I again called and left several messages for AJ, without any response to date. I would not recommend Burkett's to anyone now. Their customer service has been terrible. If I don't receive a response after this review, I will post all the pictures of the unacceptable plaster work they did.

Bill was the one who sold us on resurfacing our pool and spa. He was great to deal. The plastering company left overspray on our Gazebo, patio furniture, brick and tile around our pool/spa. Terry came out to try and clean it off, but didnt do a very good job. Its still all over. I will not recommend them to anyone. The only reason I didnt give a 1 was because of Bill.

Steve came over to give me an estimate to install a solar pool heater system. I was most impressed with his honesty. After measuring the pool and estimating the roof area available, he told me that he did not think the company would do the job because I did not have enough roof space for the required panels. I commend Steve for his honesty and the company for using such an honest person to be their salesman.

I had a scheduled appointment today 8-10:00. At 1030 I called Burketts. After much confusion I was told they were not coming for a couple more hours. I rescheduled my ENTIRE DAY to accommodate this appointment. At 3:30 I CALLED AGAIN... they were not coming!! NOT ONE DAMN COURTESY CALL!! Waiting all day. But this is nothing new with Burketts. I have been waiting TWO YEARS for them to FIX THIS MESS. Defective heater, broken pump that they broke, broken pipe UNDER THE DECK... for a second time... pool valves that never work war to year... BLACK ALGAE from DAY ONE!! State of the art LED .. POOL

Called for an estimate. Lady came out and measured my pool. Looked over everything and said she would email me a quote. This was almost 3 weeks ago. Never heard back. Went with another company!!! Unreliable to say the least.

After my project was done the pump/ isn't working properly. I've been reaching out to the company to get this resolved its been almost 3 weeks and haven't gotten this issue resolve. After spending more than $12,000 my pool is turning green again. Would love to be able to speak to the owner.
