Clear & Clean Spa Service & Repair

I called yesterday to ask if they worked in my area. I received a call back today. He informed me that they did not come to Richmond BUT stayed on to talk with me about problems with my hot tub. I explained the various issues. He suggested multiple suggestions to look for on my own before calling others. I get the feeling he wanted to make sure I knew what was going on before someone came in charging me for things I didn’t know. I so very much appreciated the help.

Affordable and honest hot tub repair! Armando and his guys are the best. I first called a couple years back when I was trying to revive an older hot tub. Armando came out to look at it, and then advised me it was not worth fixing. I took his advice, ditched the old jacuzzi (thank you Sunset scavenger and their bulky item collection) and bought a gently-​used hot tub on Craigslist. After a year of use, repairs were needed and I knew just who to call. Thanks guys!

I will say Armando came out asap and did the job. But take time to research, I’m a business owner too and we are all out to make money. Do note his «labor» is not for labor… it’s, as I’m told by Armando, coming to your place, ordering parts, doing the job. There is not an «hourly» so to speak labor calculation. I don’t think he put in more than 1 man hour (2 max), but the labor was extremely high. In addition I was also charged double for the parts, per what you can find on line. He will stand behind the service for a year, but I would have much rather given 5 stars for a fair fee, I feel truly taken. I’ll be wiser next time to negotiate or call someone else to compare first. (ok, can I actually blame this on my other half?) I feel I paid about double what I should have.

I’ve been maintaining my hot tub for years, but this year we got a bit too busy and we turned it off for a few months. It almost became one of those tubs that would never be turned on again. I decided to get professional help. Unilocal reviews guided me to Armando, and I’m very glad they did. Armando called back soon after I left a message to make an appointment, showed up on time once the appointment was made, and gave me a reasonable estimate to drain, clean, and refill the hot tub, change the filter, as well as provide me with new chemistry to maintain it. He was was done in a few hours. He wasn’t satisfied with how clean and clear the water was, so he asked if he could come back the following week to bring in a new filter and check on progress at no additional charge. He did just that and still thought it needed some additional work, and came back the the following week after a few more chemistry tweaks and yes, my hot tub was clear and clean. He trained me how to use the chemistry correctly (super simple — just two bottles) and when I asked him if we could get on a monthly maintenance plan, he said that wouldn’t be necessary. I highly recommend these guys — they got the job right and didn’t over charge.

Armando and his crew are great. They are super responsive and they always teach you something when they come. You can totally trust their advice and we are happy to have them as our assessors. Call them, you won’t regret!

Armando is very polite and considerate. He is willing to come do a job that many other service companies have refused to do! Thanks, Armando!

One quick phone call and my questions were answered! Thank you!

Armando just gave me the best lesson in hot tub ownership I could hope for. If I were anywhere closer to him, I’d be excited about having a new Clear & Clean era with my tub. Try him first!
My odd situation is trying to manage a hot tub rehabilitation long distance. Armando helped me to know that my much more local bid was reasonable and gave me several value-​adding, cost saving tips. Generous, honest, and knowledgeable — this is where to go.

Armando fits us in his repair schedule at a moment’s notice. He is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about hot tubs. He explains how everything is working, how to keep things clean, and he anticipates and plans for future problems (our tub is almost 20 years old). Just fantastic customer service and a very reasonable price.

I chose to call Armando and Clear & Clean based on reviews and references from my realtor. Based on my experience I’m going to recommend that my realtor remove him from her list.
Armando is knowledgeable when in front of a hot tub/​spa, but he had to come out REPEATEDLY because he forgot what the problem was and how he was going to fix it. I’m pretty sure there are good software programs, or even pen and paper, to help with that. It took two months to get a fix done that should have taken two visits. On his latest appt he completely forgot and when we called him he didn’t remember again what the issue was even though he had already done most of the work to fix it.
I recommend steering clear. There have to be other qualified companies that care about customer service more.

Impeccable service provided by the owner, Armondo: prompt service; reasonably priced; courteous and clear explanations; completely dependable. Couldn’t have been happier with their entire re-​do of my electric system and re-​set of my Sundance Baquua spa… now like NEW!

Armando and team were the best. The spa in our backyard hadn’t had a good cleaning and servicing in 2 – 3 years. I called to setup an appointment and they were able to fit me in with only 3 – 4 days notice. Once they arrived, they did an inventory and then quoted me a reasonable price for the work. They completed it that afternoon and Armando even took the time to give me a primer on chemicals for the spa. Super helpful! Highly recommend.

Highly recommend working with these guys! Armando is very knowledgeable when it comes to hot tubs. I appreciate that he took the time to explain how to maintain and keep our tub clean and clear. Great communication, friendly, fair pricing, fast, quality work.

Armando and his 2 workers came to repair a leak in my hot tub. After looking at the problem Armando told me he had to return after he obtained the parts to do the job. Armando gave me a price for the service call that I accepted. They returned a couple of days later with the parts and replaced a hose that was leaking, but while doing so they discovered another leak in another area that they couldn’t access. They spent quite a bit of time trying to locate all my leaks as well as making the one repair. After all this time Armando only charged me for the original service call. He didn’t charge me for the parts and additional time spent as I think he felt bad that he couldn’t make a complete repair. My hot tub is 20 years old and quite outdated, so he recommended that I try repairing the leaks myself since he felt this would be best for my situation. Armando was very reasonable and fair. I would highly recommend Clear & Clean Spa Service & Repair.

Great work, timely service, and decent prices. Would recommend highly.

ARMONDO and his 2 helpers were great! I was very happy to find someone actually in San Francisco. They came the same day I called and were prompt and knowledgeable. Armondo gave me great information and actually came back later after the maintenance issue with a better bromine dispenser. Great service and knowledge! Thanks Armondo!

Armando was my hot tub repair guy when I was renting five years back. I moved and bought a new spa and has no luck on resolving my Sundance spa with the people who sold it to me. So I looked Armando up and he resolved the issues. He is the only person I will let touch my hot tub ever! He is the best. Nice, Prompt and honest.

Armando is my new go-​to spa guy!

Service was prompt, work was careful and tidy, and very knowledgeable!

When we moved into our new place the hot tub was broken and musty; the previous owners had given up on it because it had a leak. I had the hardest time even finding someone who would fix a hot tub in SF; Clean and Clear showed up on time, fixed the problem, cleaned and filled the tub, and charged me reasonable rates.
