Hugo Castillo Valdivia, the owner of Castle Pools and Spa came to our house and bid a Custom PCS Pool cover in Oct 2021. We paid a deposit of $10,375.50 on November 2, 2021, and the balance was due upon completion/installation. Hugo came out in July 2022 to finish the job on June 16, 2022. We were told they were 99% complete but needed the electrician to come out that week to connect the panel from the house to the cover and he would be back the end of the week to complete the job. He was paid that day the balance of our invoice $12,450.72. Electrician finished his job the next day and Hugo did not show up for his scheduled appointment. After multiple texts/emails and set appointments, he finally showed up in August to tell us then that the cover is 4ft to short and he must order a new one.... It is October 5, 2022, and he has continued to lie and schedule times to complete the job but does not show up. He said he has all the materials and will complete on certain dates and then is a no show. All we get from him is "sorry, I complete my jobs" Per our permit with the County the design of the pool was planned to have an auto cover for safety, and we are not able to get our Permit finalized because Hugo will not complete his job. We have three small grandchildren and small pets, and this was purchased for safety and security of mind. We are at a loss; Hugo has lied to us continually. The amount of stress this has caused is unmeasurable. Do NOT use his services!
In addition, we have contacted the ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON
