So happy I found them! They responded right away and came out super quickly to fix our broken pool pump. They were so friendly, polite and easy to work with, and really worked with us on the price, which we truly appreciated. Very fair and accommodating. Great experience all around and will definitely be using them again!

STAY AWAY! Very unprofessional, dishonest and harassed us. Emin, pool technician or owner you choose. I had them come out and take a look at a pump issue. He offered pool service and provided a price. I didn’t really want to hire him but he was very pushy. I told him I would get in touch after I got the pump got fixed. Emin called many times asking if they could start servicing our pool. I tried to put him off but he doesn’t take No. Fast forward to the week Sept 2026.
After one service, I was dissatisfied with his service which gave me a reason to cancel with them. I won’t drag everyone through the mountain of calls, harassing voicemails and texts I’ve received. He likes to bully people especially older women. I have anxiety and don’t like confirmation and I have requested to not be contacted any longer. This guy just doesn’t stop. He has gone so far as to disrespect the entire SFV. I have attached a copy of his text to myself from tonight /9/9/2026. Read for yourself.

Pinnacle Pool Service's reply
Given the character you have shown in the time of doing business with you, I am not surprised at all that you wrote a false slanderous review. Your pool was completely clean after I serviced it. Completely.
You then suddenly canceled service afterwards. Then when I simply asked you why you canceled after a clean and healthy pool, you accused me of harassment. You have not paid for the service I provided you, then when I ask to be paid for my work, you accuse me of harassment. We do not tolerate that kind of defective behavior and we will be pursuing legal action if we are not paid for the provided service.

This was an absolute nightmare. After having our pool remodeled we hired this company. They only lasted 5 weeks. They turned our pool green, never put in chemicals, adjusted dates for cleanings. For the last 5 weeks of summer our brand new pool was not usable. Worst experience ever. DO NOT hire. Absolute trash.

We normally do not respond to reviews, but since your husband Justin Fortune threatened to kill me on the phone at 7am on September 1st, I thought I would respond personally.
It is a lie that we never added chemicals. If you have cameras in your backyard, you will see that I personally added chemicals literally every single week. Your algae was stronger than normal, so we after we determined that once-a-week service was untenable, I asked your husband Justin last week if he would give us 7 days to fix his pool before canceling, and that we would be there 3 times in those 7 days--and he agreed. Then on the morning of September 1 he called me and said that he changed his mind. When I told him that he is not keeping his word, he said to me, "if you come back to my house again, I will put a bullet in your head."
Those were his exact words.
It is unfortunate that we did not fix your pool faster, but we do not tolerate death threats. That is very serious and unacceptable.
If we do not receive payment for August services, we will be taking legal action to the fullest extent of the law.

My advice? For a start, vacuum the bottom of the pool, put enough chlorine to last a week, don't forget tablets home and have some to put the floating dispenser (twice). Don't charge for 2 services when you offer one free! Don't insult and harass a client who want to cancel the service. It was a nightmare, it was scary...

One happy customer!! My pool pump recently stopped working, and I needed a technician to replace it. After searching online, I found Pinnacle, and haven't looked back since! Not only did they get me a brand new, energy efficient pool pump, I got a nice rebate, and they also service my pool weekly( My son was doing it before). High quality work, reliable, and affordable. Thank you so much guys!
