Selected reviews from completed WETYR-network projects, verified through our customer satisfaction survey.
Our HOA went through three quotes before WETYR. The CPO certification, the chemistry logs, the monthly reports — finally a service company that treats commercial accounts like commercial accounts.
Salt cell, automation, and color LED upgrade in a single visit. The tech explained every option, the pricing was fixed, and the app pairing actually worked the first time. Could not recommend more.
Vanishing edge over the marsh, full outdoor kitchen, pool house build, sauna integration. Twelve months, no slipped milestones, no surprise change orders. The portfolio doesn't lie — this is the real deal.
Pump failed on a Saturday before a graduation party. WETYR had a tech onsite in 90 minutes with the right part on the truck. Saved the weekend.
Plaster resurface plus salt conversion. The crew protected the deck, the new finish looks gorgeous, and the salt system has been hands-off ever since. Worth every dollar.
