Business ProfileforCalvery Pools

Pool builder is requiring an unethical request to receive payment before work is complete. His request is fraudulent and I am not interested in being a part of that. We are funding 50% and financing the other 50% cost for the pool. The original request was to install our fence before continuing any additional work. Once the fence was installed the next payment was due when all decking is complete. The decking around the initial pool is complete however the decking on our patio is not. He was upset when we told our finance company that it was not all complete. Than asked if I Could call back to tell them he has completed the work so he can get paid. I told him I did not feel comfortable paying when the work was not complete. In return he has said he will not continue any work until he is paid. We are still waiting for pool equipment, plaster electrical and plumbing. We are now at a standstill. I have tried to work with him by paying for my portion and hold off on 25% from our loan. He has told me he wants my remaining 50% which is the completion of the decking and final payment. When clearly the pool is not complete. All I am requesting is to finish the project according the financing breakdown so we can all be on the same page on completion.
