    I have been with them for over a year I believe. The service has been great at the beginning but the last three months is has been horrible. The pool is always turning green and looks bad. I believe it’s the new employees they have now. The owner has tried to help me but the service is still the same. TODAY MY BOYFRIEND CAUGHT THE POOL GUY PEEING IN MY YARD!!!!!! This is disgusting. I wonder how many times he has done this before. I definitely do not recommend them anymore. I will be calling tomorrow to cancel my service with them.

    This store is under new management and their service I no longer what it once was. We went on vacation and asked them to notify our daughter who was living with us if anything was wrong. We were gone for three months. The pool was shut off and not turned back on until I got home. They messed with the controls. The same thing has happened twice since our return. Four months after we returned I went in to talk to the owner and they denied everything and after 5 years of being with this store I had to let them go. I would not recommend this store to anyone.

    Signed up for their service and had issues from the start with the very first pool service. It started on the first Friday in May and was excited that our pool would be maintained. However, when I got in from work I checked the condition of the pool I was not pleased. Skimmer had not been emptied, pool had not been skimmed or vacuumed so I took pictures and went to the store Saturday morning with my concerns. They sent someone out later on Saturday to correct but the pool still needed work. Kept the service throughout May and into June. Could only tell they had showed up if I could see the tire marks on my grass. No email summaries ever of the visit/service. Mid June I decided to do a quality control test and took a sample of water in to be tested. Big surprise- wife went in undercover for the testing. Was told our pool was in need of several items to balance. Wife asked if having a pool service would take care of these issues. Was assured absolutely and they would handle issues such as this. The Big Reveal- wife informed staff they already were being paid to service our pool so what was the issue? The readings from the service guy the day before did not match the readings in the store. We were told our service tech was there the day before for 11 minutes which is an acceptable amount of time to service the pool. Needless to say since we had already paid $125 for the month to cover cleaning and all needed chemicals we still walked out of store with approximately $65-70 of additional chemicals ( which Pinch a Penny provided at no cost). However, for peace of mind we went ahead and cancelled the service effective the end of June. I saw no evidence they returned to fulfill their duties for the remainder of the month we had paid for. Not saying they didn’t make any more visits- just saw no evidence nor received email/texts they had been out. Long story short- do it yourself or hire a different company.

    STAY AWAY - Dishonest Long story short we had scheduled for them to come out for a repair - we didn’t hear anything so we called and asked if they came out - they said YES and then immediately sent a $1400 quote. We looked into it further and checked the cams on the house and no one was out. We called back two more times and they still insisted they came out. They never came out and kept saying the did multiple times and even sent over a random quote. Completely dishonest and will not be back to use them for anything. STORE 074 PLANT CITY The only Pinch a Penny in plant city - this is an update to their reply that is is not their store.

    The professionalism and quality that Chad and Casey displayed was unparalleled by other companies I have previously used. They did an amazing job of pressure washing, re-sanding, and sealing my drive-way's pavers; using high-quality products that look like it will last for years to come. Recently, I witnessed several of our neighbors have their driveways re-sealed. Some of the issues I kept seeing were that several of those driveways would have the new sand wash out from in between the pavers and there were noticeable discolorations on large sections of their driveways. Additionally, after some heavy rains, there would be sand pooling at the end of those driveways, which made me feel like these companies did something wrong. Since I did not want to spend the time to learn how to do this myself, nor did I have the two days and the equipment it would take to do it correctly. I was excited to hear this Pinch-a-Penny offered these services, as I know the owners have a reputation for maintaining a professional standard with everything they do. So I hired them to pressure wash, re-sand, and seal my driveway and front patio, which was around 1,100 SqFt. I opted to go with the high-quality polymeric sand, and a sealant with the added color enhancement treatment; believing it would look nicer when finished. As expected, the polymeric sand and color enhancement were worth every penny and it made our driveway look amazing. Because we often forget to leave reviews for companies who provide excellent service and tend to only focus on the bad interactions with companies. We felt obligated to leave a review for this company as several of our neighbors have since asked us who we used for our pavers and complemented on them. I attached some photos and could not be more pleased with the finished project.

    Pinch a penny has always been helpful with any problems I have with my pool and are always happy to answer my questions!

    This place is awesome the whole staff is polite and professional. We had Kenny out to our house yesterday. He fixed a problem really fast for us that will make our pool maintenance a lot less work. I have a new Pentair filter and the element replacement was actually cheaper through the store than on Amazon.

    What a great company to work with! We needed to have our pool pump replaced, and were also interested in adding a heater. After speaking with a few others companies, we were lucky enough to call Pinch a Penny Plant City! Kurtis had a great attitude and took the time to explain everything to us. He even provided his cell phone number and answered text messages after hours! He was extremely knowledgable, patient, and made us feel like we were talking with a friend. The technicians who installed the new pump and heater were professional and courteous. They made us feel like they truly loved what they do! They knew the products very well, and spent plenty of time making sure we understood how to use everything. They even helped with suggestions and recommendations for other items that weren’t even related to the install. Thank you Kurtis and team!!

    I purchased a home in January of 2021 that had a swamp for a inground pool. Literally the previous owner did nothing with it for years. I tried a small local pool service at first to no avail. The crew came out and helped me with figuring out steps to get the pool correct. They drained my pool, checked the integrity of it and gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision. They were patient and highly knowledgeable. And let me tell you I am a pain in the buttocks...I question everything, I so appreciate this crew of people. My pool was resurfaced and tiled through Patriot Pools and I purchased all brand new equipment through pinch a penny. This work was performed in March of 2021. I cannot thank them enough and would not go anywhere else for my pool needs. The customer service is, was and has been absolutely outstanding. Thank you gentlemen for not only your services to this great country but, your patience with me.! You are truly the company to which All others should be judged.

    One of your drivers decided he was going to pace with another driver and make it impossible to pass. I hope your pool services are better than your employees driving.

    Very clean and organized store. Love that I can get my pool water tested for free and the results within seconds.

    I visited today it's 8.22.2022 at 5:30 and whatever guy they have working there wasn't helpful at all and just stood at the register. He seemed uninterested to help and dumb as a bag of rocks, like they just hire anyone.

    We are building a new pool and went in and talked to Paul. He was really friendly and helped us find what we were looking for. He promised to get me a quote for pump, salt chlorinator, filter, heater, etc... I waited a week, and there was no response. I called and was promised that within 24 hours, I would receive an email. Still nothing, and now 3 weeks later, I call again and keep being told, "I am busy and will get to it asap" by Paul. I guess 18k$ in business was not good enough for him to get me a quote. I've never felt so ignored and underappreciated by a store before. Now, tomorrow is the last days for the sale, and we are struggling to get the materials we need. Would never recommend this place.

    We bought a ladder for our above ground pool so my mother would have something more stable for her to get in and out. The ladder last less than a month before it fell apart. We have left several messages and no one will call us back about replacing the broken ladder. This was over $500 for this ladder.

    This store's team is always willing to go the extra mile to help procure the part I need if they do not already have it in stock. Service for installations is the same. These guys are on their game always willing to help and get things done.

👍👍 I have been a customer with pool master since 2010. I won’t go anywhere else. The owners are honest and won’t rip you off when servicing your pool. Customer service is always at its best. This summer I was having major issues with my pool. It’s old and needed TLC. Anthony was so helpful in the m...
