We moved into a home with a great pool but old equipment. We called Barry's Pools and received the best service. They came out a couple of times because our equipment needed replacing. A huge "thank you" to David who took great care of us. I will definitely call him again if we need our pool serviced.

I had a great experience. Our family has a very large spa that I had completely neglected. Called Barry's Pools and David came out, repaired the spa, cleaned it out and got my filters and chemicals right. Very reasonable price and very easy to talk to and understand. Recommend highly if you need repair work on your spa!

David and his son did an exceptional job on repairing our pool equipment, after the disastrous winter power outage we had in Houston a couple of weeks ago. They walked me through everything they were going to do, finished in a timely manner, and were professional, friendly, helpful, and answered all my questions - good price as well. Great representatives for Barry's Pool and Spa!

We needed someone to fix what another pool company messed up, and we needed it done right, quickly and economically. David and Barry's Pool actually met all three of those. They came out, assessed the damage, gave us a quote below the other company (that screwed it up in the first place) and agreed to fix it in a couple of days. I highly recommend them to whomever need quality work done at a reasonable cost. Thanks to David and Barry's

I called Barry's pool on 1/21/21. I believe I talked to the owner who was really nice and helpful. He said I would be receiving a call from his technician later that day. Received a call from David that day. He kept me up to date with this timing through texts and phone calls. David arrived at my house the next day and was incredibly helpful. I was interested in what he was doing so he walked me through what he was doing and how the various pool pieces worked.
Then gave me a recommendation on parts to keep on hand to make sure the pool continued to work well in the future. ON top of all this, Barry's pools prices were better than the three other companies I called. Would definitely recommend them to anyone!

David from Barry's Pool & Spa came out and fixed some lighting issues and then also diagnosed a problem with my heater. They were able to quickly get a new heater installed and provided me information about the type and benefits. Great to work with, good value. Would recommend to anyone.

Report
Barry and his team spent a long time with me on the phone trying to diagnose the problem. He did so because he wanted to save me money. After going through multiple conversations with him, I asked that he send a technician out to tune everything up. When the technician arrived he was courteous, knowledgeable and patient with my many questions. After approximately two hours of work he had replaced all of the o-rings in my pump system, causing it to run better than it ever has. Moreover, the entire service was very affordable. I cannot recommend Barry's Pool & Spa Service strongly enough!

Dave (one of Barry's Techs) arrived on time the next day and found the problem (a leak) quickly and repaired it (a plastic connector broke) with a brass fitting so it would not be a problem again. He also made several suggestion in mantaining the water quality and the spa. We were very happy with the service and would use and strongly recommend Barrys in the future.
