How Important is a Reputable Swimming Pool Contractor in Central Florida?

Nov 9, 2017

When it comes to hiring a pool contractor, it is buyer beware. Unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous people in the community who are taking advantage of unknowing homeowners.

Recently, 90 year old Darlene Anderson become a victim of an unlicensed contractor. According to ABC Action News, she paid a man $26,125, for some pool work, plaster repair, and painting. Then he convinced her to write him another check, explaining the first one was ruined when it got wet in the washing machine.

He even had a license number, but from my understanding that was an invalid number,” Anderson explained. “My husband died on March 31 and this was in June, it was kind of soon and I felt vulnerable.”

“There was very little enforcement. Some unlicensed contractors were fined. These fines were not a deterrent. Unlicensed contractors would often write off the fines as the cost of doing unlicensed business,” Sheriff Bob Gualtier explained.

“Unlicensed contractors are scamming innocent citizens and either doing shoddy work or not doing work at all after receiving advanced payment.”
