I had an excellent experience working with the Lou Buck team. They kept in touch with my pool builder and scheduled the pool bring with perfect timing. The pool technician was knowledgeable, disciplined and enjoyed the work. The pool floor was cleaned throughly along with starting pool-chemistry.
Highly recommended.
Susan Runowicz-Smith
we hired Low Buck to do start up service after our pool remodel by Coral pools. Carlos was wonderful to work with throughout the process and the pool looks great! right after he completed the service .I switched to spa from pool and all was fine then the pump quit. not knowing what happened we immediately called Low Buck at 5:30 on Friday evening And to my amazement they got back to us within 30 minutes. worked with hubby to try to diagnose. when that failed they promised a technician in the am. George showed up and quickly worked to debug the issue which was not related to start up but instead to an aging electrical connection to the pump. he fixed it and it we were up and running in less than 24 hours on a weekend! service to the max! I give them the highest recommendations. This outfit is great!

Exceptional service from start to present! From the initial consultation to the ongoing work, Low Buck Pools has been outstanding. Their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. The pool looks amazing so far, and I'm eagerly awaiting the final result, which I'm confident will be nothing short of fantastic based on the excellent service I've experienced. Highly recommend!
