I needed some help to put together my pool filter grid after I was done cleaning the filter. I called around for a pool repair shop around Poway and when I called Schafer’s Pool Service Mike said he can help me and can be at my place in 10minutes. He came and it only took him less than 30 minutes to finish the job. He is very knowledgeable, honest and very helpful. I highly recommend him.
