Unprofessional, sub par craftsmanship & communication, Sub contractors Insurance liability
Were do I start!!! First, I never write reviews because stuff does happen, but this was by FAR the WORST experience we have ever encountered and it has to be shared. BUYER BEWARE!!!. We had a fiberglass pool put in May 2019 and was told 30-45 day turn around. LIE. 7 months from start to finish.
The project manager - Rude, Disrespectful, (Actually hung up on my wife when questioned about the pool techs incompetence) Even told me at one point in the process that they were busy getting pools open for the summer is why it was taking so long (WOW) So get our money...then show up when you want??? Great customer service. I don't think so. Also he actually skipped right over the pool heater operation at his pool school presentation. I actually had to figure out how to work it. I would say he needs a bit more training ( BTW the pool heat pump already had to be replaced after 3 months. leaking heat ex-changer) Wow.
The pool tech- It took him 3 weeks to shock the pool once it was in. One day he showed up didn't even know how to turn the breaker on to run the system(Wow). Next time he showed up...forgot the chemicals. (Wow) then he set the deck jets on one side of the pool deck to low and the concrete subs covered them over when doing the concrete.(Wow, Wow) After making the concrete company aware of this twice while they were on site...they said "oh the pool people will take care of it". Right! Another month of sending out the pool techs out, drilling and hitting the concrete with a hammer to try to find the deck jets buried 1 inch in concrete (WOW)
Finally we had enough and had to bypass the Project Manager because he wont call you back for weeks and speak with the owner. They finally send the concrete subs back out...no notice..just showed up...when rain is expected the next day (Wow) i had to turn them away because i had family coming in town and we didn't want a big mud hole around the pool. You don't ever just show up to someones house...Not professional!! So the next week the concrete subs do show up to remove 2 sections of my pool deck so the pool jet can be redone. Good thing I was home that day (we learned to be home when any of them show up because at this point we started to NOT trust them) they show up and looked to have some young kids/adults working with them. I learned one was a grandchild (he was about 5). I look out my window and to my surprise while the others are working busting up the concrete the grandson is swimming in the pool (Double Wow) Talk about a liability!!!! this must be reported to the BBB. I did tell them to get him out the pool ASAP!!!
Afterwards the pool tech did come back out and redo the deck jets and the new concrete sections did get poured. At this point we have NO faith and considered even suing them at one point. The last step was the pool cover which we actually got quotes & considered getting elsewhere because of the nightmare that was upon us... Against our better judgment, we decided to just finish out with Aegean because we didn't want them holding our warranty paperwork against us if we didn't fulfill the contract. Boy another mistake that was...they ended up drilling tie down anchors into our brick waterfall face that now has to be repaired by a mason.(Wow, wow, Wow) After this...we actually emailed the owner and banned all Aegean employees, friends, relatives of Aegean employees from our property for EVER!!!
Long story short...We have NEVER encountered such a disaster as this was. I deal with a lot of contractors and subcontractors in my line of business and from start to finish this Company needs a lot of HELP. If we could turn back the hands of time...and go elsewhere...believe me we would. Aegean won't be getting anymore of our business, we will go to a company that actually cares & know what they are doing. Strongly don't recommend this company!!! read more
