What customers said about pump repairs & installation
Kris was knowledgeable and patient as he walked us through the issue with our pump
Great service as always, over 15 years of maintaining my pool and updating it along way
I am extremely satisfied with the pool equipment installation. The installers were very knowledgeable and professional. I am not good at writing these reviews, so I normally don't fill them out. But they were so good that I had to let everyone looking for this type of work that you can trust this company.
Adian was extremely polite, knowledgeable, and very helpful. He is the best technician I have had the pleasure to work with.
Andrew was fantastic. Knowledgeable, effective, efficient, and easy to talk to about pool-related concerns.
Used Hawkins for the first time since our pool install and I have to say Solomon is one of the best technicians I have worked with. He has exceptional customer service. Kudos to Hawkins for employing loyal and passionate employees like him!
