Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

i was thinking the same thing. like how stupid can you be, he obviously got a bunch of potentially lucrative contracts and was pulling money in all over the place, all he had to do was turn it into a legitimate business and he would have been making more than scamming people and got to keep doing it, but he decided to be greedy. What a pissed away opportunity

As a contractor myself, you go into the business knowing you’re probably just going to take a loss for the first 2 years or so because of overhead and you always have to take into account that something could go wrong. Also please to anyone thinking of getting a pool, NEVER GET FIBERGLASS, it’s terrible for the environment and because it’s cheap it won’t last you more than 20 years before a huge issue arises with it. At least with plaster you can repair small cracks that go up to 1 1/2 feet. Pebble is the best overall due to durability IF INSTALLED CORRECTLY if not it will crack and fall apart within a year of installation.

Never been a contractor but I studied engineering and also did construction work through my life, my dad owns a counter top business and I have worked with countless contractors on both a work end and business end. Absolutely agree with what you have said here. It should be common sense but it's definitely not. A lot of people think they know but don't know. I don't know how many customers we had to tell "no, you cannot just set hot items on your solid surface (acrylic material) counter tops without damaging them" even after explaining the type of glue is used and the material that is used. It's a high end and durable plastic resin basically. It looks pretty and it can last forever, but it's not something you can just abuse. My dad would usually repair one or two issues before charging for solid surface repairs. He also usually tried to talk people that obviously weren't listening into the higher end quartz material, which really is damn near indestructible, instead.

My parents had a fiberglass pool installed in 1982. It started getting black marks on it around 2005 that drove my mom nuts. They called some people out and nobody would work on it. They had to fly a guy in who was an expert. He said if they drained the pool they risked it folding in on itself. Anyways their solution was to sell the house and move to one with a concrete pool.

As someone who has worked in pools for more than 10 years I can tell you that this happens a lot. My advice to people who are looking for a pool company always check license and go with the biggest company. Bigger company means more money if they should happen to mess up. Never ever pay more than 10-15 percent before pool is completed. When it’s completed get two different pool inspectors to inspect pool. If it’s good then you pay them the remaining balance.
