I've been a customer of Doug's for over a year now and am very satisfied! I'm a new homeowner and first time pool owner. He's very reasonably priced and extremely knowledgeable. Bought house but didn't move in for 2 months. When we did the water was green! I did my due diligence and he was the best price for a drain and refill. He even informed me that if I called MCUD they would give me a credit and they did. I highly recommend Doug!

Doug has been our pool service professional for several years. He is dependable and trustworthy. He shows up on time, finishes his work quickly, and never leaves any mess. Our pool always looks great and is ready to use any time thanks to Doug! He is friendly to the family including the kids and visiting in-laws, and he doesn't seem to mind making his way through our herd of animals to get the job done.
He also identifies any problems with the pool and pool equipment very quickly (usually before we even notice an issue) and recommends top quality companies for repair or replacement. We are very happy with Doug's Pool Service!
