J.O.C. Pool & Spa

Been using Jon about 2 years now and have not had any issues with my pool at all and it always looks clean. When he first started at my house the water chemistry was all out of balance but since then, I have never had an algae bloom, or cloudiness, etc. He’s easy to work with and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Jon is very responsive and knowledgeable! He offers both the service side of the business along with pool inspections. He’s a person you can count on to be reasonable in cost and easy to work with. I won’t hesitate to refer him in the future!

Having called Jon when my pool was in dire need of expertise, he went the extra mile to return my pool and spa back to crystal clear water. He is prompt, courteous, knowledgable and the best part is he is a great communicator. Yes having a pool is expensive, but with Jon’s help our backyard is 110% more enjoyable.

Very knowledgeable. Our pool was way out of whack, he got it under control in record time, just in time for the grandchildren’s visit. Pool has been in perfect swimmable condition since. Recommended.

John managed our pool for 2+ years. It stayed in great condition and was always comfortable for a dip. His knowledge of all things pool-​related and ability to turn around any weathered conditions was very impressive. Highly recommended to take the reigns of your pool!

John, from J.O.C. Pool and Spa is the absolute best, honest, reliable, top of the line, reliable reasonable, pool service anyone could ask for. My pool sparkles. It’s always cleaned and balanced. He will take time to come out if you are having a pool party to make sure everything is in tip top shape. I have used other pool services in the past and none can compare to John. I would recommend him to everyone who wants a job well done.

Jon has been taking care of my pool for last 4 years and best monthly check I ever wrote. Jon always returned calls promptly and left me detailed updates on the pool. He came over before pool parties to ensure everything worked properly.
He made sure that the warranty work I required was done, and done properly by way of advise.
I would highly recommend Jon to maintain your pool, his attention to detail was extraordinary, and I am only sad that my new property does not have a pool.

Called these guys over a week ago, never got a call back so they must not desire any new customers. I’d at least expect a call back saying so…
Got a reply that said they don’t know what happened…

Jon came out and serviced my spa, he was beyond helpful with advising me on how to properly operate and maintain my Spa now and in the future. Jon is fast and efficient; his attention to detail is greatly appreciated and I can see how passionate he is about the industry, I was using 10 different bottles of chlorine and spa products and he got me on a plan with only 3 items for the entire year! Extremely happy customer — He is definitely the best.

John of J.O.C. Pool and Spa has been taking care of our pool for about a year. We sought him out because of his numerous exemplary Unilocal reviews, and are very happy we did.
Our previous pool service allowed algae to grow over the course of about 2 ½ months on our newly-​replastered pool. Despite repeatedly pointing the problem out to them, they were unable to solve it, which they tried to do. I suspected that the pool needed filter work or a new filter, which I mentioned to them, but they apparently felt otherwise, because they never pursued that solution with me.
I called John about taking over our service. He spent a great deal of time on the phone discussing the symptoms of the problem and possible solutions. He ended up replacing the filter, and we have had no problems since then, with John continuing to handle weekly maintenance.
John is a professional who takes great pride in his work, and clearly knows exactly what he is doing. Our pool has never looked better, and we have lived in our home for many, many years.
If you are looking for professional excellence at reasonable prices, I would recommend that you try J.O.C. Pool and Spa.

Jon provides the most professional care of our pool. Our pool is always crystal clear and ready for swimming. He’s always on top of any issues, provides consistent maintenance and has the resources to fix any problem.
Ours is a small pool, but he provides excellent weekly service at a reasonable price.

Jon took over taking care of our pool 5 months ago. I have been taking care of it for the past 10 year myself but have gotten to the point where I just didn’t have time anymore.
Our pool pump broke and after I got it fixed is when I hired Jon. He took my «green» pool and turned it to bright blue in a couple of days. This would have taken me weeks. Ever since, Jon has kept the pool clean and blue with no problems.
I would recommend Jon even if you don’t have a big job. It is absolutely worth having Jon take care of my pool. His price is fair and he has done what he said he would do.

Our pool pump was on it’s last legs so I called JOC based on Unilocal reviews. John answered and gave me a lot of info over the phone. Not pushy at all. I told him I was refilling the pool a lot and he recommended that I get a leak detection first. Recommended someone for a pool cover as well. He spent 20 min on the phone with me giving me great information, He is not pushy at all. Eventually, I will get him to fix my pump but I thought I would get this review out since good companies deserve good reviews. Thanks John and Unilocal

I’d like to see the reviews that were not recommended. Jon started out decent enough maintaining our pool. He actually had to start with a green pool that Blue Sky Service had left us. Granted our pool and equipment are not in the best condition and because it was not being used we were just interested in maintaining it on a weekly basis. That started out all well and fine but I guess because we didn’t want him to do expensive repairs we were of little use to him so he cut our service down to every 2 weeks but only dropped the service fee by ¹⁄₃.
Some times he didn’t show up at all, other times he just left chemicals at our front door because the gate was locked and we weren’t home. He never came on a set date so we had no way of knowing when to be there, not to mention my husband works from home and is rarely away. Jon still expected us to pay the full service price even when he didn’t sweep the pool, clear the drain or add the chemicals himself. Then around Christmas he announced he wanted to «drop» us. We were putting our home up for sale and the new owners may have wanted to keep him on but then he dropped us 2 months before we are to be out of the sold home. So now we’re stuck finding a new pool service. In my opinion I did find him knowledgeable but I thought just too busy at times to mess with the simpler folk. He was always saying well you could have your son do this or that. We were paying him what was he complaining about. Also last Christmas he said if we gave him a good rating on Unilocal he’d discount our Dec bill by 20%. No thanks.
So I guess as long as he’s doing major work in repairing your pool for bigger $$ he must be ok but just for minor maintenance be careful, not sure how long he’ll last.

Jon is a great guy. This is honest run business. He had and open opportunity to take advantage of us and made no attempt. We really appreciate his service, will use this company from now on with any of our pool or handyman needs. I called with a pool emergency and he was here within 24 hours. Again, great guy great company!

I have worked with Jon over the past 15 years on hundreds of different jobs. Jon is one of the most honest, friendly, hard working people I have ever worked with. If you want a reasonable price, and the job to be guaranteed done right, then Jon is the guy. He is always committed to customer satisfaction and guarantees
to do the job right, even if it takes several visits to get it perfect (which is rare). he always spends extra time answering questions and making sure that each customer feels comfortable and has been treated the way that he would want to be treated. Give him a try and see for yourself.

John just saved me a couple hundreds of dollars!
I called him because my hot tub has been sitting empty for a month, and it got kind-​a disgusting. I thought it needed to be scrubbed out and polished. He asked if I’d blown out the jets before draining… I had to admit that I hadn’t. John advised: refill, chlorinate to 20 ppm and run for three days. Process will kill off all the bacteria, and maybe negate the need for a scrub down. Talked to him about a pool down the road, and he gave me some AWESOME info and advise about that. Thank you, Unilocal!Another fabulous suggestion. An honest pool guy!

John (Jon?) answered his phone within 5 rings and answered my question without hesitation. I told him I found him on Unilocal and needed to replace my spa /​hot tub cover (my puppy chewed it into pieces!) He told me who he recommended and I have placed my order with ease. They were easy and cost effective to order from. I will call Jon again if I should need to! Thanks!

Excellent pool service. I have a dark bottom pool, and lots of trees around. The pool had occasional bad algae problems with two prior service companies, but has never had a problem in the over 5 years since I started using J.O.C.
Jon recommended an excellent company to install solar for the pool which has worked beautifully and drastically reduced my energy bill, and he converted the pool to a saltwater which is much nicer for the skin, hair and eyes.
If I ever have any issues, Jon is extremely quick to solve it. I highly recommend J.O.C.

Best pool guy. Always been 100% honest with us. Initially our pool had gone green and he advised me on what I could do myself to save a little money and it all worked out.
Later we put in a more efficient pump and the PG&E bill went down just like he said. He upgraded the pool to a salt system for a fair price. There was some issue with one of the salt system components, I think it was a manufacturer defect in a control module. He swapped it out and made it all right in a jiffy no questions asked so that was great.
