    Order Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    I recently contracted with Aqua-Men Pool Construction to build an inground pool, install pavers around it and provide a hot tub as well. The project is complete (but for one item described below) and I have paid in full to the Company all outstanding invoices, including the original contracted amount of $135,598 as well as $14,000 for "addons" that we were informed of after the completion of the project. In total I have paid $149,598 to Aqua-Men Pool Construction, and there are no outstanding invoices. A specific item that was included in the executed contract was a "Loop Loc green mesh cover installed for $3,084" (See attached contract and highlighted line item). This is a critical item as it ensures that the pool is not damaged during the winter after it has been closed. After completion of the pool construction at the end of August 2022, we were not provided this cover that we paid $3,084 for. We have tried to contact Aqua-Men Pool Construction many times over the last 3 weeks to arrange for receipt and installation of the pool cover. We have left multiple voicemails, text messages and emails but have received no response. The weather is already getting cold and we must receive this pool cover in the next week or 2 to avoid potential damage to the pool. As described above, this item has been paid, along with all outstanding invoices. To resolve this complaint we require the pool cover be delivered and installed or, alternatively, we would accept a full refund of $3,084 (the amount charged). At a bare minimum, we would even accept the cover delivered to us without installation.

    This company and man can not be trusted. In august we hired a pool contractor who started to work on the pool dug a hole and put the pool frame only. By December we gave him the last payment of $40.00 which total out to $107,500 dollars total that we paid him. After the payment the next 3 weeks he only came 3 days total then sent us an email stating that the pool was not going to be done till next season. We ask him to come over to speak in person and during that time we got into a dispute over him telling us that he never told us it will have to wait until next season. He got offended and started to swear at me (******) . I approached him about what he was saying and sweared at him back and he got into his truck and left. Fast forward we email in the ending of February stating the pool condition and he said it was fine at no time did he say that he was not going to finish. He emailed me a week later stating the contract was void because of breach of contract when there was no breach. I also went to his house to his place of business to try to deal with it amicable and no good. He stated that he will give us the materials with $10,000 in installments which is unacceptable and doesnt add up. Per ***** he said he will no longer answer our calls or texts only email. The last time we heard from him was 2 weeks ago that he will have our list of materials with pricing and he said he will have it delivered by a 3 rd party but still no answer.
