What customers said about vacuuming
We love the BluVantage team. Kevin is an incredible tech and an even better person. This team is reliable, skilled and affordable.
Perez Pools is a great company that can assist with any pool related cleaning services you may need. I found them great to use!
Shimmer is our 5th pool service company. Shimmer scrubs the sides, vacuum the pool and check the chemical balance of the water in every single visit. No other pool company had done that before. Our pool now is crystal clear and shimmer. Shimmer team did an excellent job to take care of our pool.
Eli has done an excellent job with our pool startup. Patient, knowledgeable, attentive.
BluVantage is great! Their service summary emails keep us well informed of the weekly cleanings and pool chemistry with pictures to back up their service. Michael is also great at explaining the ins and outs of all services and maintenance issues. The best company we have worked with on our pool!
Great service and great team. Been reliable and Michael has always been quick to resolve any of my pools’ issues, and he’s always willing to share his pool wisdom. Techs are knowledgeable and do a good job. Highly recommend!
