β€œMy dad is a homebuilder, so we can do complete renovations, like remodeling on someone’s house,” Kohles said. β€œIf someone wants a pool to go in, if they want a patio or if they want a complete backyard oasis, we can set that up for them.”

After a product is delivered, Kohles said an orientation is given on how to use the chemicals and other things.

β€œWhen I sell a tub I want to make sure people know how to use it and are comfortable using it,” Kohles said. β€œCustomer service is huge for us. Johnston is such a small, tightknit town we want to make people happy.”

Once in awhile, specials will be offered such as a free year’s supply of chemicals, check theirΒ websiteΒ to see what current specials are running.
