Pool service in Oakland

June 2007

We are looking for a reliable, good pool service company with experience with a salt water chlorine generator system. Our current pool service company has delivered somewhat spotty service for the past year, and I'm hoping we can find a better one. We live in Oakland. Any recommendations would be most appreciated!


I would love to know who you were using. We have been looking for a pool service as well. I have recently attempted to set up a service visit with J&G services. I put in at least 6 calls to them, asking for an appointment and leaving my name and #. I was told each time that the local rep has my info and would contact me shortly. It has been a month since the first try! I am glad that they never returned my call-I would imagine that their services would continue to stink! On a further note, my husband asked the owner of our pool supply store for a recommendation of a pool service. He frowned and said that the majority are not to be trusted. They sometimes go as far as breaking some things and then charging for replacements! So I'm not sure where to go from here?! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Good Luck! pool owner in Berkeley

Need to renovate my pool in Orinda

Sept 2006

I need to renovate my pool, located in Orinda. We plan to resurface, re-tile, add a bench - and possibly shallow out the deep end. If you have worked with an excellent pool contractor, I'd so appreciate the recommendation. Thank you!


We completely refurbished our pool in Moraga last year. We used Superior Pool and Spa Service. They were great. We had the pool drained, replastered, retiled, added a mosaic, and had new coping put in around the edge. Their number: 925-706-9220

Pool maintenance

Oct 2004

I have had the worst luck with finding a reliable swimming pool service. I have a swimming pool at my house and desperately need a recommendation for weekly service. Someone to check the chemical levels, sweep and clean the pool, check the equipment and provide general maintenance. The pool service I have had rarely shows up, never returns calls and is extremely difficult to reach. I'm desperate. With so many homes in the Bay Area with pools and apartments and condos with pools does anyone know of a reliable service? I greatly appreciate a recommendation. Thank you. Dennis


We have used Hercules Pool Care for the last 10 years, and have been very pleased with the work. Tracy is honest, punctual, reasonable, and does a great job maintaining both pool and spa. He has done a better job than any of the previous companies we used. He can be reached at 510-410- 7273. kelly
