Run from this company. This company is full of liars who make promises that they do not keep and…read morelive up to. Very poor quality. They even knowingly left a hole in our pool!!!
We had a continuous swim current placed along with our pool from Sierra Fiberglass Pools. The 'current' only lasts for at most 1 minute and 20 seconds - Not continuous as it is supposed to be. This started immediately at install. Matt is and has been completely aware. Yet, we were made to pay in full for this system and installation prior to it even being ordered. That actually is not legal. Then, Matt tried to put it off as a "warranty" issue. It has never worked properly. The buttons controlling it have also never worked. Matt tried to claim they worked, but I got in with a wetsuit to show that the buttons nor the current work. Matt has the buttons,yet, that won't fix the problem with the current.
In addition, water is leaking from around the current and it was disclosed to us that there is a hole in our pool. Matt knew about all of these issues and chose to complete our pool instead of fixing it. When I wanted it completed, he threatened that, "I would not have a pool all summer long," if I wanted it fixed. When I asked Matt how he got our pool to pass inspection with the issues, Matt stated, "The inspectors don't have to know about that." Lateer, Matt claimed that, "some water can be around the pool and it will still get approved."
Matt also left the swim system full of trash which is under water and completely exposes swimmers to whatever that trash is. I also had to continuously pick up garbage and hazardous stuff as we have a small child. While doing that, I found supports that were sealed in a package that said, "Warranty void if not used." - Nope, they were not used.
This was after they put off our pool for months while they installed other pools.
In addition, We had to fight with Matt, Jon, and Diane to have our concrete finished as agreed upon. They did not put it in our contract. I sent an email prior to signing the contract to be sure that the concrete would be completed. They agreed, yet, later when we asked when that was going to be completed, they stated that they did not agree to do the concrete as we spoke about and agreed to.
The quality of the pool on top off all of the other issues is very poor. There is a plastic piece under the conrete that sticks out and has cut our guests. All of the caps around the lights in our pool have fallen off and cut our guests and children. The 'free' gate reversal failed. Our gate no longer works.
In the end they took us to court as we withheld money because of the problems. They won as we paid up front for the swim current and withheld from a different "line item" on the contract. The other issues weren't even considered. Now, we are going to be taking other action. I like most people don't agree with paying contractors before they complete work.
I hope this review loses you more money than the money you basically feel you can take from us without completing the work...or fixing the hole.
Like I said - Run from this company.
Unfortunately, Jan or Jon/Diane/Matt (there is no Jan at their company) your response sound as unprofessional and deceptive as you have been the whole time. It's Like all of the rambling emails yelling at us when we brought up issues escpecially agreed upon issues that you did not want to complete. I'll be happy to also post the court documents showing that you guys left a hole in our pool (yes, in our pool), etc.
We are going through the Contractors Licensing Board, which is how we found out a lot of our information. We will be taking action. I hope you guys start to realize you actually have to follow the law, cannot do shoddy work, and cannot leave holes in pools. I was threatened that I would not have a pool all summer if Matt had to put the Badujet in and actually make it work. Also, he refused to fix the hole in the pool until after summer as well. The work on the pool started in August, yet, again, Sierra Fiberglass Pools went and did other pools instead of completing ours. The Badujet was here, I believe in October. Why wasn't our pool completed by June? 9 Months and you couldn't complete it? Again, the Badujet has never worked and you asked for payment illegally prior to ordering and installing. Therefore, we could not withhold money from that line item because it was paid in full. Yes, $14,000 paid upfront ahead of time. The remainder withheld was aroud $5,000 after finding out about the hole in our pool and Matt refusing to make the Badujet work properly.
It's funny how Sierra Fiberglass Pools loves to lie their way through things. I am also uploading documents stating that they left a hole in the pool. Also, there is no defimation. You collected money upfront for installation of a working system that you put a hole in the pool for and "completed" the pool with the hole still there. Also, the talk of the 'landscapers' is funny.
