Christman Pool Service is the best in the business! They do exceptional work and are incredibly responsive. I can’t say enough good things about the company, and how they transformed our backyard. 🏊🏼♂️🏊♀️
Mr. Burkhardt, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Your Plunge Plus project turned out amazing! It has been a great season for the pool, we will see you next season! Thanks again from all of us at Christman Pool.
We have been a client of Christman Pools for over 20 years(and two pools). Very simply, Christman Pools is exceptional in going “above & beyond” in exceeding client expectations. When there is a problem, the team(Cliff Abbott—Service Mgr, Paul—Sr Tech, Cory—Sr Tech) are responsive and timely in solving the problem even if they need to improvise a temporary solution. Weekly service teams are also excellent. Excellent service starts at the top with the owner, Kevin Doree, setting the example! Well done. Bill & Peggy
Hey Mr. Atwell, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We always appreciate feedback. After another great season on the books, we look forward to seeing you next year. Thank you from all of us at Christman Pool.
