    From start to finish the team at Richards provided exceptional service. Our salesman Jonathan was knowledgeable, and he ensured we were able to get the most value out of our experience. Our project manager Jacob was very responsive to our needs. The pool was completed ahead of schedule, and the construction crews were very good. Any issues that came up along the way (including a hurricane) were handled masterfully. We could not be happier with this experience.I had a pool heater install that had been left in limbo for a while. Kristin took the reins and ensured the project was completed. She was very proactive with her communication. A great representation of her company.

    Angel did a great job! He was efficient and professional. He replaced our hot tub heater quickly. He even went above and beyond by helping us pull up a big fish that I couldn’t reach.

    One of our spa jet pumps stopped working. I used the web page to put in a service request that night and received a text from Kristen Barrow the next morning to schedule a tech for my particular problem. The pump was under warranty so we only paid a flat fee for the tech visit the next business day. The tech Stephan was friendly and efficient. The hardest part was waiting for the water to heat back up. Great service!

    Richards has been amazing. Kristen in the office is great for scheduling, and flexible. Stefan and Justin the Techs that came out were very informative and polite. They showed up on time and were very professional. The prices are fair and competitive, and the quality of services offered is very high. I recommend Richards for your pool maintenance and repair needs.

    Richards Total Backyard Solutions recently completed our pool, and I am IN LOVE with the result. From day one, we received excellent service, and the team was always there to answer our questions. We put a lot of trust in the designer, Jonathan Gil, and the project manager, Bray Vincent, both of whom are experienced professionals in this industry. Their knowledge was invaluable and over the course of our pool build, we were so thankful that we could rely on their guidance. Building a pool is a major undertaking. I am so pleased with the work that we received from the team Richards Total Backyard Solutions.

    I recently had a fantastic experience with the Spa Tech Service team. Angel, the spa technician, quickly diagnosed the issue with my faulty jet pump and had it operational in no time. He was extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend their services for anyone needing spa repairs. Five stars!

    If you’re looking to build your own pool, RTBS is definitely the way to go. Easy, hassle free and punctual. Dig day was 4.23.24 and we swam for the first time 6.12.24. Bray was our PM and he along with Jonathan, Joi and Stacy, prepared us for any and everything to expect. Great communication and again, very punctual. Bray is a man of his word and delivered time and time again. We love our new pool and would definitely recommend Richard’s Total Backyard Solutions! 5ive Stars!!!!

  • Review 11 (2024-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    The best decision I made was to build my pool with Richards, they were very professional from start to finish, from the designer and seller Johnatan Aguirre to Jacob who was the project manager always accompanied by Blake, they were clear and patient in their explanations, the price was very good and they delivered the finished project before the expected time. All the different people who came to do the job were obviously skilled that they were experts, professional, fast, efficient and clean. I am very happy with my new pool and will surely recommend them to everyone I can. Thanks guys!!!

    ā€œJustin and Alan from Richard Pool did an exceptional job replacing the pool lights. Their professionalism and attention to detail were impressive, and they were incredibly friendly throughout the process. They explained everything clearly, ensuring we understood the steps involved.

    We purchased a hot tub through Richard’s almost 3 years ago. We are now needing some servicing done to our hot tub cover and I really want to say that Kristen Barrow was PHENOMENAL. We’ve spoken to quite a few employees throughout the process and no one has offered the extensive and exceptional customer service she has. Ask for Kristen!

  • Review 14 (2024-04-04 - Rating: 5)

    Would like to give another big shout out to Richards Total Backyard Solutions. We had the privilege of getting the lifetime warranty, I am not sure if they still offer it, but if they do I highly recommend it! It has come in very handy when we have run into some bumps with our equipment. No questions asked, they have come out promptly, checked on us, called us to give us updates before and after. Their workers have even followed up after the work has been done. It makes me so happy that we chose them to build our pool. Thank you for keeping us in good hands and continuing to make us happy with our pool! We appreciate all your hard work and support Jessie Gonzales. He has gone above and beyond not only fixing our issues, but giving advice and suggestions about pool care.Thank you,Poulis FamilyWe love our pool from Richard’s! It helps halving the lifetime warranty, which has been a breeze to use when we needed service! Thank you again Kristen for the new help and of course Stacey who has always prioritized our needs.Our fav view!!

    We have had nothing short of an amazing experience with Richards Total Backyard Solutions. Kristen Barrow, Stefan, Justin, and Angel have been fantastic! We Bought house with an existing pool and hot tub that were in need of repairs. They had e been great. The communication and follow up has been above and beyond.

    Had such a great delivery and setup experience for my new spa with the team from Richard’s. Even in a little bit of rain they still made sure I was able to get my hot tub installed. All they guys, Everett, Ricardo and David were all very friendly and knowledgeable as they were setting everything up for my new hot tub. I had been waiting a little longer than expected to have it installed but, they worked great together and got me all set up in no time. Everett has been great from my first install to working to fix a small leak a couple of years later. Thanks again!

  • Review 18 (2021-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    After quoting multiple builders for pricing and reviewing the BBB and Texas Attorney Generals office for complaints, we selected Richard’s because of the product quality they were offering (be careful about this with other builders. Do your research on what is good vs cheap equipment), their professionalism and their price. Nick at their design center designed the PERFECT pool for us. He literally asked what he desired and without much direction gave us everything we wanted (pool, spa, tanning ledge, interior pool booth with table, deep end bench and water features). Nick definitely gets 5 stars. Jose was our project manager assigned to our project and I am beyond thankful for him. He is attentive, very meticulous about the details, and fast. He was very genuine and super on top of the crews to stay on schedule. From ground breaking to filling with water it took two months. Honestly, unheard of compared to those we know building pools but the right project manager can make all the difference! Jose is the BEST! Thank you, Richards for building our little paradise with such commitment to detail!

    What an amazing experience we had with Richards Total Backyard Solutions from start to finish. Our sales person, Mrs. Kristi Patterson was excellent on her customer service and paid attention to each little detail to ensure our backyard oasis was everything we dreamed of. She is definitely an asset to the company and a valuable part of their continued success. Please ask for her if you are considering a pool or backyard makeover. We were treated like family. In addition, Mr. Bray Vincent was our project manager, and he was awesome. From the start of construction to finish, he was there for every question, concern, and anything we needed to ensure we were satisfied. He is definitely another asset to the success of Richards Total Backyard Solutions. Mr. Brays knowledge and dedication to customer satisfaction are at the highest level, and if you are in the market to purchase a pool, backyard oasis, or both, Mrs. Kristi and Mr. Bray is a must if you want the happiness and satisfaction we are experiencing now. Thank you, Richards Total Backyard Solutions, for treating us like family. We pray for your company continued success.Natasha Lovelace & Family!

    Innocent arrived on time, was helpful and took his time to show me all the chemicals and how much to use. He installed my cover and helped in every possible way. Thank you to him and all the crew!

    Justin just left my house and I am beyond impressed. He answered all my questions and helped us get our pool back together. He was patient and kind. Kristen, who has helped us schedule all of our services, has been incredible too. She’s attentive, patient and has excellent customer service. We are beyond grateful for Richard’s valuing their customers by providing us with excellent service via Justin and Kristen.

    After enjoying my hot tub for a little over a year I discovered a slow leak. Everett did a great job in scoping the problem and finding the source of the leak which wasn’t easy. He has always been on time, works hard and is very friendly and professional. Waiting to schedule the final repair but I trust it will be a good experience as all has been so far.

  • Review 24 (2024-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    Angel was amazing! I had a problem with my hot spring spa, and Angel was able to figure it all out over the phone. He was very respectful and understanding, especially because this was my first time operating it. Would highly recommend.

    Everett arrived to install our new hot tub cover. The old one was water logged and quite heavy. He was able to remove it. The water and the tub were too nasty for him to install the new one. So he drained enough of the water, and cleaned the top of the tub so he could install the new one. Needless to say, he went above and beyond the job. We are extremely happy with the new cover and his professionalism. He explained how to clean the tub and plumbing before he left. Thank you, Everett!

  • Review 27 (2024-11-06 - Rating: 5)

    Richards Spas has top notch customer service with Everett ! He knows his spas. Mine is still under warranty. He has been out twice. (Had to do a 2nd trip because I lost power. No fault of his.) Simple fix. With Everett, its the small things that mean a lot. He doesnt just do what has to be done. And hes always happy. Everett is also my maintenance every three months. My spa is very well maintained. Everett knows what he is doing. Thank you !!!

  • Review 29 (2024-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    If you’re looking for a hot tub… you HAVE to come check out Richard’s Total Backyard Solutions. The whole experience was great! We learned a lot about hot tubs. Chris guided us through our wet test (if you’re buying a hot tub ..wet test is the way to go). They have a hot tub for every price range. This is great since we didn’t have an exact price we were looking for. We wanted to make sure we got the hot tub that was best for us. Chris and Julie truly want to go above and beyond for their customers. Hot Springs Pulse is what we decided to purchase and we couldn’t be happier. Definitely check them out!

    I recently had a pool and pickleball court built in my backyard by Richard’s Backyard Solutions, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! The entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. The project manager, Bray, deserves special recognition—he was truly fantastic to work with. Bray was consistently attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He kept me informed every step of the way and addressed any questions I had promptly. I absolutely love my new pool and pickleball court and highly recommend Richard’s Backyard Solutions to anyone considering an outdoor project!

    Everett delivered our new hot tub cover and hauled away our old one. He was very helpful in discussing our options to address an unanticipated installation problem on the new lift mechanism for the cover, and was very courteous and professional throughout his visit. What an excellent ambassador for the company!

  • Review 34 (2022-03-18 - Rating: 5)

    We researched other pool companies for months and had 3-4 quotes and chose Richards because of their reviews and their lifetime warranty backing up their work. We met with Kristi to design our dream pool and hot tub combo. She was extraordinary throughout the process; giving us ideas, helping to make us both happy, giving insight on what works well together, being patient with the financing process, and answering all our questions. She was very responsive to help us with questions about the design, making changes, and guiding us to banks for financing. She is amazing and we are very happy with everything about the process so far. Jon was great with the construction plans and we have been very pleased with Jose as our construction manager. The pool has started and we are very pleased! Thank you Kristi, Jon, Jose, and the Richards family!

    Justin Counts was here this morning to repair a plumbing issue with our pool. The unions connecting our salt cell to the PVC valve stack had failed and water was spraying everywhere, especially when the spa circuit was initiated. I had attempted to repair the issue and managed to get two new salt cell unions on the stack and connected to the salt cell but the union closest to the first valve on the valve stack did not have enough PVC piping left to give a good seal and a leak was still evident.Justin tackled this with speed and prowess and using his trusty tools had the bad union off and replaced in record time. We gave the system another leak test and in spa mode all was dry :-). If this had not worked the repair would have entailed replacing valves which would have taken a long time and been very expensive.Congrats to Justin for saving the weekend for us. We have family down from Canada who were looking forward to some spa time.Also a big thanks to Kristen Barrow who took my service call earlier in the week and set up the reservation for Justin come out today.Very happy campers here ....... Ciao, Paul

    Julie and Chris really rolled out the red carpet for my wife and I. We did an 8 minute wet test and we were sold. They are genuinely great people who don’t care about making money from you. They care about taking care of every need and answering every question. Chris is insanely knowledgeable from top to bottom. Julie has an infectious laugh and even came in on her day off to make sure that we got the royal treatment. Went with a Hot Springs Envoy and we could t be happier. I will recommend this company, and especially Julie and Chris, to anyone I know.

    Everett and Ricardo did an amazing job! Very professional and courteous at all times while at my home. Not only did they get my new tub/ spa into a VERY TIGHT spot, they were happy to do it. They went over every little detail with me and showed me multiple times how to do everything, until I had it memorized. They had a trying spot to get the tub in, and they excelled my expectations! If you are getting an above ground tub, you want them to install it for you!Even at the end they brought out a few add on ideas, but no hard selling. They just offered appliances for your tub that you hadnt thought of. A tub sweeper, a handrail for drinking nights, a water filter so you dont have to shock your tub as often. Lots of options, and no pressure to buy! They made the excitement of getting a new tub installed easy and effortless.Wonderful job guys! Thank you!

    Richards TBS designed and built a beautiful pool in our backyard.Nick created a beautiful design. We asked for a simple, geometric design and he delivered something within our budget. Nick also gave us recommendations throughout the sales process understanding our wants and tailoring the equipment to meet those requirements.After the sales process was over, we interacted only with Rachel. She was our project manager and was very responsive to my millions of questions. She even made a special trip over a weekend to walk us through a few concerns we had along the way. We had some issues after the build completion where a few tiles didnt seal properly and she sent the crew back out to ensure it was fixed.It is only 2 months since completion, so I cant comment on longevity. So far however, things have been good.This was our first time to have a pool constructed and we interviewed several pool companies. Richards was recommended to us from a friend who had their pool built by them. They were competitive on price, offers a solid lifetime warranty (non-transferrable though!), and were knowledgeable. Nick talked us out of a few things that would add-on cost but werent really needed for us. I did research after our meeting and everything that he said checked out - contradicting some other pool companies.Overall, we had a great experience with Richards and would recommend them.

    Emily was able to get my DEL AOP system covered under factory warranty, even though it was 4 months out of warranty. Not only did it happen quickly, but she got it done quicker than expected, and pushed the install repair forward two days. That never happens now-a-days! Jessie installed it in less than 30 minutes, and showed me what’s changed with the system(how DEL improved the design). He also showed me some useful tips, without me asking. Richards Total Backyard Solutions designed and built my pool. I chose them because of their lifetime warranty, and fabulous quality without the ā€œpremiumā€ price. I highly recommend them for a new build, or service work! They are on the ball! Thanks RTBS!

    Top notch service and support throughout the entire process! From shopping for the right spa for us, to set-up and delivery, to after sale support. You couldnt ask for a better company to purchase a spa from.First, Id like to thank April for being both incredibly helpful and patient in helping us find just the right hot tub for our needs. We spent hours trying out different hot tubs before we came up with the perfect match for us. April never pressured us in any way to make a decision.Kristen was also extremely helpful in making sure that the area we planned to have the hot tub placed was ready for delivery, making sure that everything was working properly before and after delivery, and assuring that we were happy with our new spa.I cant reccomend Richards enough.Addendum: We had a minor problem with our hot tub and Angle was sent out to resolve the issue which he did quickly and efficiently. He also took the time to make sure that al my question were answered and we were good to go. Another example of outstanding customer service.

    My first contact with Richards was online to check out their company. I filled out a form about midnight on a Wednesday and received a call on Thursday. I was actually busy at work, but the man on the phone sounded so energetic. I listened to his pitch and I was getting excited about my test swim for Saturday morning. He wanted to set up an appointment right away. He suggested Saturday early in the morning to beat the weekend rush. I was reluctant since I live 45min away, but he sounded sure of the products so I agreed. When I arrived Saturday morning I was impressed with the showroom. I had been to another place 4 miles from my house and was not impressed as I was when I stepped into Richards TBS. I was greeted by my salesperson Chris. He was just as energetic that morning as he was during our phone conversation. We went through the tour and then the test swim. I was offered a towel, water, and a robe for after the test swim. Chris showed me more than I had imagined for a test swim. He explained everything so well and confidently. I was sure I had the best salesperson. He talked about his experience in the business and the continuing education that all salespeople receive. He told me there were people working there longer than he. I was convinced I had the best salesperson. You couldnt tell me otherwise. I can tell the continuing education of the staff really shows. While he was writing up my contract I overheard other salespeople and Chris was right. All of them sounded confident and energetic about the products they were talking about. I let Chris know that my experience was the best to date and I have no problem driving 45min for excellent service. I ended up putting a down payment on a swimspa that was bigger than i had intended to buy (it helps it was on sale). Im so excited for the delivery. I dont know anyone in the market for a pool, spa, or swimspa, but if I did I would insist they go to Richards total backyard solutions.

  • Review 67 (2024-04-04 - Rating: 4)

    When we seriously started looking to build a swimming pool for our new home, I knew I wanted to get a quote from RTBS. I was first introduced to RTBS at a Home & Garden show over 10 years ago and loved the customer service they offered without doing business with them at the time.Today, I rate RTBS with a 4 Star but would give them a + if I could.Fast forward - In January 2021, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting our designer Kristie who went above & beyond the call of duty and won us over. She was the only designer who spent time with us virtually to understand our desires, wants, and needs and then took the time to visit our home and spend time in our backyard to see firsthand how we would use the space with a pool. I was blown away by Kristies eye for detail as no other company did this for us. In the end, RTBS was not the cheapest bid, but we knew we were buying a Brand. RTBS has been around for over 30+ years and I can see why.Kristie was very transparent with us from the beginning and explained how Covid had impacted vendors, laborers, parts, supplies, etc, and she set the expectation that the pool industry was in high demand and we would need to approach the build-out with an open mind and patience.We finally started our construction on April 19th, 2021 just 2 1/2 months after signing our contract. We were excited.Upon meeting our Project Manager (PM), Jose, he reassured us that he had the experience to oversee our build and let us know we were in good hands. Along the journey, we ran into many roadblocks with crews not being available to do the work. As frustrating as it was at the time, Jose always followed up to ensure the job at hand was completed to our satisfaction. At times, Jose was not always proactive in offering next steps, but when asked, he was always prepared with an answer. As I learned through this project, PMs are managing a lot of moving parts and some things are going to fall through the cracks. This is no different from any other job people do. We all are human and sometimes there is too much happening at one time and as a PM, Jose did not always have direct control over a situation. However, when I would speak to Jose, he would be open and honest and at times took accountability when he needed to. I truly respected this about Jose!As I look back over the last 6 months, I am very pleased with the outcome and the quality of work that went into our pool build. I know part of this is because Jose has established relationships with his contractors and has set the right expectations and work ethics with his teams. We had no issues with any of the contractors not doing their work. They all seemed to be very dedicated to their crafts and showed great work ethic and respect for us and our home while on our property.Today is October 6th and I am pleased to say that our pool build is 100% complete and even Jose followed up with a phone call to see how things were going.Thank you Kristie & Jose for making our backyard dream come true!April 3, 2024-IMPRESSIVE WARRANTY SERVICE! Our LED Color light went out in our built in Hot tub. I submitted a warranty request through RTBS website and a few hours later I received communication that a tech could be onsite the next day. Kristie was on top of it and the next morning, Kristie called to let me know what time to expect our technician. Shortly after, Technician Jesse called me to confirm the time of his arrival. Jesse arrived as expected and replaced our light with no issues. The communication and fast service were both well beyond my expectation. Thank you Jesse & Kristie!

    We had Jesse Gonzales from Richards Total Backyard Solutions out at our house today to fix the actuators on the pool fountains. He was very nice and professional, letting us know an hour before he arrived, and ensuring that the site was left clean and tidy before he departed. Jesse was well-versed in all that was needed to address the problems with the actuator for our fountains. He quickly identified the issue, and was able to explain the problem to me in an easy-to-understand way. The repairs were carried out efficiently, with Jesse answering all my questions including providing valuable tips on working the fountains.

    Angel and Everett were friendly, professional, and VERY helpful! They allowed me to video as Everett was describing every process of maintaining our swim spa, from how to remove the filters, cleaning the filters, and putting the FreshWater Mineral Spa Sanitizer into the filter trays and then putting the filter cover back on! He also went over the chemicals and told me how much of each cleaner/sanitizer and how often. I also was a little confused about the pH strips, and Everett showed me exactly how to use them and what to look for on the strips. The swim spa is still filling, but it is so shiny and clean it’s looking great! Thank you for hiring two amazing guys! I want to request them Every time! ! ~ Mel

    My familys experience with Richards Total Backyard Solutions was exceptional. Rachael Robinson exceeded our expectations. She was an integral part of the pool building experience, and made sure that everything was handled in a professional manner. Original estimate was 3 months, and the job was completed in less than 2 months. Workmanship was superior to other contractors that I looked at.

    We worked with Kristi Patterson on a pool quote. Kristi came out to review our house and backyard and provided some very useful information and asked great probing questions. She took a ton of pictures and then put together a beautiful pool design for us. She really listened and took into account everything that we wanted in a pool.Richards has been around for a long time, and offer a full lifetime warranty rather than the industry standard of 3 years. In the end we had to choose a different builder that fit into our price range, but Richards was not overpriced when you consider the value you are receiving.Ask for Kristi for amazing service!

Nick was very patient with all of our questions and he even spent a lot of time with us designing a backyard landscape for our new home. The installation team was great too, Ryan was also very patient and made sure we were totally satisfied.

    The wife and I are planning to transform our back yard. Naturally an outdoor kitchen is in our near future. I have gotten a few quotes from other companys but Billy Rivers has earned our business. His attention to detail and the ability to pivot and show extreme patience while my wife made 100 changes every time she opened pintrest was customer service at its finest. I would recommend Richards Total back yard solutions to anyone looking to transform their back yard.

    Beautiful work done by Richards Total Backyard Solutions! We tore out our 26 year-old deck and gave the backyard a fresh update! At first we wanted to replace the deck with all stamped concrete, but Mr. Richard informed us that with so much movement in our property (and we know since we have had foundation work done twice on our house), it was best to look into natural stone pavers. BEST DECISION EVER! The natural stone pavers are gorgeous and really open up the space. We love our little backyard paradise!

    Billy was absolutely amazing. Highly professional, knowledgeable and provided above and beyond white-glove, first in class service; which in the world of me, is not an easy thing to obtain. He was impeccably detailed and delivered 5+ star service. As a result, I will continue to do business with Richards Total Backyard Solutions, going forward.

    Had problems with freeze protection function of our PENTAIR system for our pool and hot tub. Called and spoke with Kristen Barrow about problems. She took detailed notes and combined them with photos and videos I had taken of system’s malfunction. She forwarded all of my information to one of Richard’s project mgrs. to set up an appointment that day for following week.

    I recently had the pleasure of working with John A from Richards Total Backyard Solutions for my pool design and estimate, and I couldnt be more impressed with his level of customer service and design expertise. John was very professional, knowledgeable, and open to go above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied with the evaluation process. Though we did not close the deal with Richards, our experience with John A was amazing. I highly recommend John to anyone looking for a trustworthy and talented pool expert who truly cares about his customer.

    Paula and Jessie have been amazing. My heater wasnt working and Paula promptly notified me that we had a lifetime warranty on the heater and send Jessie out. Jessie showed up EARLY which was great and he was incredibly knowledgeable. He changed out a few parts and my heater was working like it was brand new 8 years ago. I could not be more happy with their professionalism, low cost, and timely repair. I would highly recommend them to everyone and anyone looking to build or repair any and all pool systems.

    Yall, RTB was amazing. From dig to finish time it was 31 days....I mean how can you beat that? Not only that, Jacob the project manage was completely professional and always there to answer questions. He even came out after it was done when we had a question about to autofill had an issue in the freeze. I cannot recommend this company enough. Remember when putting in a pool to be patient, they know what they are doing and they have our trust! HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WOULD GIVE MORE STARS IF I COULD!

    I am very excited to be serviced as soon as I am done closing on the house. Paula was absolutely amazing about providing professional service/input while she was so quick about returning my calls, responsive with my emails regarding my questions and request for service. She really went above and beyond to accommodate my needs that needed to be done within such a short time frame during my option period to purchase of a home. Thank you, Paul!! We truly appreciate everything youve done for us. We look forwarding for your services in the future! :)

    Jesse came out today to check a leaking pump. He’s great! Very professional and knowledgeable. Relieved my anxiety! I’m so appreciative he came out right away and fixed it. He’s very personable. You are lucky to have such a great employee, especially during these crazy times. Hard workers are hard to find!

    Chris always makes us feel so welcome. This is our second time visiting, and my husband had multiple conversations between visits. He never makes us feel pressured or like he’s trying to get a ā€œgotchaā€ moment. He’s unbelievably friendly, answers all of our million questions, and truly wants to make sure we are happy. He’s an incredibly good listener. We would recommend him to anyone.

With the holiday week but she was putting my issue to 911 status then next day the plumber was showing up at my house to fix it. Kristen Barrow is an A+++ customer service. Thank you so Kristen Barrow

  • Review 174 (2022-09-16 - Rating: 5)

    Had an issue/leak with the check valve. Called Richards and was transferred to Paula, the service manager to discuss the issue on what was going on with the pool/spa. She was very detailed on giving me the instructions on resolving the issues and also recommending a leak detection company. Once confirmed of the issue she was able to get with her supervisors Sarahs to expedite the repair and confirm what is covered and what is not. Jessie was the one that came out to complete the repair and once I spoke with him after wards was very detailed and information on what caused the issue and explained everything very thoroughly. Ive rarely had any issues with my pool/spa, but the couple of times Ive called, Paula always is great to take care of the issues at hand. I appreciate her and all the staff at Richards for taking care of all their customers.

    I was having issues with air coming into the pump and being pushed out to the pool returns....I was really afraid of where the leak(s) were coming from, but didnt see any leaks on the PVC piping leading up to the pump...so then started to think it was in the buried underground lines. YIKES!!! I called Richards and they sent Jesse out. WOW....it wasnt the PVC lines, it was a union and a diverter valve.....and he had it fixed in under 1/2 hour...he went to his truck and pulled out new gaskets....problem solved! I could not thank him enough....he came, he saw, he fixed! Its been 1 week already and the system is back to being just like new....except its a 50 year old pool. If you have issues, call for Jesse, you will be glad you did. I am!!!!

    Angel arrived with the needed part and knowledge of my situation. He immediately switched out the malfunctioning controller with a new one, and the problem solved.

  • Review 181 (2022-06-06 - Rating: 4)

    The delivery of my hot tub went very well. Innocent and his helper were very helpful and extremely competent in every way. The scheduling of the delivery was right on in the time it took the electrical guy and the delivery guys to get here. I never had a problem with sales team or the scheduling team. Everyone was great. I just had issue with the time frame and lack of communication during the 9 months I waited. I understand kinda, but should have been informed more frequently. In the end I do love ā¤ļø the hot tub. So thanks to your entire team.!
