Summer is officially over :-(
We had a really pleasant heat spell recently at the end of September/early October -- can't believe we saw 85+ degrees in October!?!?!!?!
But now the weather looks like it's returning back to normal with the chilly early mornings and nights.
This of course means that it's time to close the pool for the season. There are plenty of pool guys around town, but I happened to stumble upon King of Clean LLC out of Bernardsville a couple of years ago and have been using them every year since. Jeff is friendly and flexible for scheduling and was willing to "teach me the ropes" of pool maintenance and ownership along the way, so that I can do most of the stuff during the summer -- very easy once you know the routine.
The other advantage to using someone from outside this immediate local area is that you're not charged "local pricing" from contractors! One quote to open my pool originally was north of $800! King of Clean saved me a couple of hundred bucks in addition to the pleasant service I've enjoyed over the years.
It's important to find good contractors that you can develop relationships with over time. In my case, the pool isn't a headache for me as a home owner because of this type of service. If you're not fully happy with any regular contractor for the pool or any other type of work on your home, perhaps it's time to try someone else?
