I wonder.... jmarkohio, are you using the same company as Talk Host?
I think we are both talking about the same company. (In fact I know it) Not long after we had our work done, a home near us on Amberwood golf course had the same company doing a pool. The family finally put up a big sign that everybody could see. The sign said, "This mess was made by ***ted pool company."

Most of the time on our job was spent installing the pool. The concrete work and cage went fairly quickly after the pool was done. It was the pool that took forever. There was a point when weeds had grown up waist high around the hole in the ground. Their customer service ethic is unforgivable in my opinion. In my 60 years, I cannot remember anything that was so infuriating as this project. If they had taken the time to communicate with us, things would have been better, but they never bothered to tell us what was going to happen. They just made us wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait. They did not make us wait however when the next payment was due to them.
