"I was a little apprehensive when hiring Desert Pool Cleaning because in general most pool cleaners I feel like are never upfront about what is wrong with your pool and always after the extra $ for repairs, chemicals, etc. but eventually cleaning my pool became a little too much work for myself.\n\nOne of my neighbors recommended Desert Pool Cleaning and I'm so glad they did!! Ben is the owner and actually cleans all the pools himself, is VERY polite, very careful to always close and lock the gate to keep animals in the yard, and clear with how he bills (flat rate w/ chemicals included). I've chatted with him more than once and he makes me feel very comfortable and not worried about him being in my backyard at all. He also grew up in Scottsdale about a mile from me, small world!!\n\nI've already recommended him to friends fed up with their pool guy and I always like to support a locally owned business (as everyone should!!) and the fact that I can just call Ben to ask about the next time he's coming, rescheduling, etc. and reach him directly without any secretary BS is awesome.\n\nI guess I should also mention he does an amazing job on my pool, it looks 10 times better than when I was attempting to DIY and now I don't have that guilty feeling that I should be cleaning it when I look out my kitchen window."^^ . .
