It is important to choose a reputable and honest swimming pool construction company. Don’t let your dreams of a backyard oasis become a nightmare because of a disappearing pool builder. Unfortunately, there are a lot of scam artists in today’s industry.
A swimming pool is a big investment, finding a trustworthy construction company is vital! Before spending tons of money ensure you hire a reputable builder to make sure the job is done right.
According to a recent news article in CBSDFW,
A couple was excited about getting the backyard swimming pool they’ve always dreamed about . But what they got was, “A large 8-foot deep pit, the size of a swimming pool, is all they see.The couple said they dreamed of a creating a personal oasis with a pool, a waterfall and a tanning ledge. In February, they hired a ‘less than reputable pool builder’ and when construction started March 8, Angela was so excited she documented it on Facebook Live.This is the digging of our swimming pool,” she told friends, showing an excavation crew at work.
The couple went on a short vacation. “They said they paid Pierce the second of three installments for the work.“Twenty-nine-thousand, six-hundred dollars is what he has,” said Kristie.” But when they got back, they found they found construction on their new swimming pool had stopped.
When she asked the company what was going on, “Lies after lies after lies,” said Kristie. A city employee confirmed to CBS11 that no permit had even been issued to begin construction.“The city had no idea we had a giant hole in our backyard,” said Kristie. The couple said Pierce has since disappeared.”
An unfortunate end to their dream swimming pool, “The walls of the pit, meanwhile, have begun to erode and after last week’s rain, it became a muddy mess.The Pauls are now digging into their retirement funds hoping to fix it by summer.”
