Great experience, would hire again

Thumbtack customerSep 2026

Never showed up for an estimate.

Daniel de Waal fixed my problem just by looking at the photos I sent him. He knows what he is doing and is honest. The other guys were going to come over and charge for an estimate for a problem that I could handle myself after all. I thought my pool problem was going to be expensive because I had problems for a long time, but not so. I’m going to call on Daniel again next time. Thanks, Daniel!

Your rate is higher than others. I’m a 93 yr old senior and budget is slim.

I found Daniel de Waal here on Thumbtack, and have been using his weekly pool/spa cleaning service for just over one year now. He also periodically services the pool components (filter, pump, heater). He is i credibly responsive, very knowledgable, and ALWAYS willing to help. Once, I couldn’t get my pool temperature up just before I was set to host guests. He was my first call simply because my pool builder is completely unreliable and unresponsive. Daniel immediately returned my call, facetimed with me to troubleshoot, AND he contacted the equipment rep for my area on my behalf to explain it— totally sheperdi g the process through. NONE of this was his responsibility or fault, but he had the knowledge and willingness to help. He has always promptly answered my questions and addressed my concerns— as a new pool owner without experience or knowledge about this stuff, I can’t tell you how nice it is to feel I have someone reliable and trustworthy to help me when needed.

If I could give Daniel 100 stars I would. Our regular pool service guy is on vacation and Daniel with a phone call and looking at pictures of her pool equipment solved the problem. He charged me nothing for his time. If you were in search of somebody who is a professional, this is the person. If for whatever reason our regular pool service decides to retire Waal pool service will be my hire. Thank you thank you thank you, Daniel!

Waal jumped on my request and contacted me in < 30 minutes. Sent a tech to inspect my problem < 24 hours later. I strongly recommend these guys
