I called Gorilla pool in March for pool remodeling and for new equipment. I spoke with Kathy, she was nice and I can tell she was on point with the communication. Corry came to my house checked the pool and gave me an estimate. After getting numerous estimates theirs was the lowest and they seem pretty responsive and professional.
They told me that they will start the project within 3 weeks wich would be son a Monday April 10th and that I will be signing the contract that day.
And now this is when it started going down hill.. I mean which company wins a $15k+ contract and wont at least stay professional to keep the job..... Gorilla Pools.
We are just days before the project starts and no one has called or email me just as a reminder that they will be starting on Monday, I didn't even now what time they will come. I sent an email to Kathy just to confirm that we are all set for Monday and she replied and confirmed.
Monday morning comes and there is no action, suddenly in the afternoon I see someone in my backyard, he pluged a pump put it in the pool and left. It is midnight the pump is still on sucking on my electricity while the pool is empty. 24 hours later still no calls, no email and I don't know what to expect. Half the day is gone and no one has showed up not to even to check on the pump. I called the only person Correy got as "customer service" Kathy and told her about what happened and that I would like to at least know what to expect going forward, like what will be done, when and the estimated time of the project being done. She said that she will send me a schedule later once Correy confirms with her. I said cool thank you.
A few ours later I checked my email and see an email from Gorilla, I opened the email thinking its the schedule Kathy told she will send, instead she sends me the invoice for $15,494 due in 3 weeks!!! I mean for real!! at this point I haven't received or signed the contract that Kathy told me at the beginning I would received, I haven't received or at least being told when things will be done and they haven't even come and checked on their pump or my pool.
I send a email to Kathy letting her know my displeasure and that I was not sure if they are the right company for this expensive project.
Kathy (the customer service) called and said I read your email and I think the best thing for both parties is to end the project. She didn't even bother to address my concerns or anything.
What I got from this is that Correy is the owner of the company and he depends on one person whose name is Kathy to run his company. Once they get your business the care and professionalism ends, they are full of pride and wont try to address your issues instead they will officially end the contract... well again they actually lied about providing a contract and they will wast your time. read more
