    je clear pools is currently building my pool in valrico. We caught them yesterday doing very shady build practices. They placed several trash bags full of dirt to build a sunshelf. Which after talking to 4 other pool companies in the Tampa area. No one has ever seen this practice. The form boards look wrong as well. After leaving comments on JE's fb page. They have blocked me and removed all the comments When our builder confronted Jose about it, Jose kept saying it will pass code. Finally, Jose agrees to build the shelf correctly after our builder got hillsborough county involved.

    JE Clear Pools is now in breach of contract for unfinished work past the contractually allotted time. I'm apparently joining a long list of customers who have complained about the company based on the numerous poor reviews that have popped up on on other consumer advocate sites. At this point, the optics of the situation looks like a pay-upfront and then run situation. I have paid upwards of $65000 with no hopes of completion or timeline in sight. Since November 1st workers have showed up only twice for a total of 8 hours on the project and I sit with a dangerous hole in the backyard that poses a serious hazard for anyone who comes into my backyard. I signed my contract with them on June 24th 2022 with a completion period of 4 to 8 months. The 8th month ended at the end of February 2023 and the the last time any full time work was done on the pool was the end of October 2022. The crew started work on Monday October 17 2022 and dug and framed out the pool that week, and the concrete was poured the following week, then their work stopped . . . from November thru the end of February and I still have no timeline. The pictures below including the damage the crew did to my fence were taken Friday October 21 2022. A four hour cleanup crew came out Friday January 20 2023 only after I complained numerous times about the work stoppage. And a plumber came out Sunday morning February 26th for four hours to dig around the pool but hasn't been back since. A Friday and Sunday appeasement crew do not represent a dedication on the company's part to complete a contract. They are done only to create the appearance of work but do not represent a commitment of good faith to complete the work. The only communication I have from the owner and project manager is the empty promise of "someone will be there this week" which of course never happens and "we are experiencing supply chain issues." By now the supply chain issues of 2020 have largely been resolved and that excuse ran its course a long time ago. The owner consistently gives vague answers only to appease customers and buy time until he an get more contracts in hand. These empty promises and false narratives have become his modus operandi and his business model. This is a very shaky foundation in which to build and operate a company. Any contract and transaction is dependent upon the good faith of each party to fulfill their obligations (customer to pay, vendor to complete and extend good customer service). I'm sorry to say that this is the worst business experience I've had in my life. No customer service, no sense of obligation to meet what they said they would, no qualms about lying to customers about call backs or their ability to fulfill the contract, no work for months, no oversight, no project management, no management of expectations, no follow-up, no communication between workers, owner, project manager, sales, admin. Just another example of a company in complete disarray. You deserve better than this. Pass this company by, run away, and go with someone else.

    I contracted Jose and JE Clear Pools on 7/24/2023 to resurface my pool, replace the waterline tiles, install new coping, and furnish and install approximately 850 sq ft of new pavers. I gave Jose a check for $9,500.00 at that time with the understanding that the project would be completed by the end of September. Although I didn't see much progress into September, Jose assured me that he was on track to finish by October 1st. On September 15th there was a crew here that completed the demo, which triggered the second installment of $5,000.00. When Jose came to collect the second installment, I added some porcelain mosaics to the the contract and wrote him a check for $5650.00. The project is now almost 2 months overdue, my pool has been drained for almost three months and is a mosquito breeding ground. To date, the demo has been done, the waterline tiles have been replaced and the coping is done. Jose says that they don't have much left to do, but no on ever shows up when promised to complete the job. There is never any proactive communication from Jose and when I reach out to ask when he will be here, he lies and almost always says, "tomorrow". I have been lied to dozens of times about when there would be people here to complete the job, including twice just this week! At this point, I have no confidence that Jose has any intention of completing this project in any reasonable amount of time. My only recourse is to file complaints with the appropriate state authorities, hire another contractor to complete the work and sue JE Clear Pools for a refund for the portion of work not completed. Save yourself significant aggrevation, do not use JE Clear Pools for your project!

    Pool/spa construction Same story as some of these other reviews here. We signed our contract on 9/15/22. They started the project on 1/7/23. Contract says 5-7 months for completion after start date. It has now been over one year since start date. They have only dug, gunite, most pavers & coping, layered steps inside pool. We still need rest of pavers & coping. We need tiles, steps from pavers as it's a couple feet high, equipment, screen enclosure, robot vacuum, pebble tech, and more. They are not even halfway done. After that 4th payment we made in July 2023 they have not been here at all except once which was this month for one day for a few hours after we wrote a letter suggested from a lawyer. They have also damaged our neighbor's fence, broke 10 or our irrigation pipes, have cement all over our back yard that is growing into our back yard, trash everywhere, big, long trench holes on both sides of our front yard for drainage, nasty green water in bottom of pool causing mosquitos, etc. Every time we call or text ther owner, Jose he either does not answer or responds with the same BS: workers/labor, rain, etc. Excuse after excuse which none are valid. He will say we will be there tomorrow or next week and that just never happens. Oh, and we also received a new timeline that stated completion 7/10/23 and a second one he signed that says completion week of February 29th. I realize this date has not passed yet but it also states by 1/15/24 he will finish tiles and fix pavers and install equipment and that has not been touched. If I could give a zero star, I would! Beware if you want a pool by a certain date!

    Our frog and mosquito habitat

    Please don't use them. We signed a contract on February 9, 2022. Date of completion in the contract for Thanksgiving, November 24, 2022. This is a massive build for $129,900. We had several offers and chose them because they were willing to guarantee, in writing, the pool would be completed within 9 months. They started strong and completed the dig, gunite and plumping by April 15. Since April we have had workers here less than 20 days and that was only to lay pavers and part of the coping. The last time someone was here was October 19, 20 days ago. Near daily calls, emails and texts go unanswered. When you do get Jose on the phone he says someone will come out or that he will email you but it doesn't happen. We have been living with a concrete swamp that breeds mosquitos, surrounded by unused or broken pavers and literal bags of garbage for months. I contacted an attorney today. I'll update this post with the resolution.

Our luck continued when Eric punctually showed up at our house to work on our skimmer and suction side flow that wasn't working. In less than 5 minutes, not only did Eric have the issue correctly diagnosed, but he was also able to keep his customer's cost in check by not recommending needless parts and labor. What completely amazed me was that Eric was sincerely interested in pleasing us and making us smile. He did this by taking some extra steps quickly that sped up the clearing of our pool, as well as sharing tips of knowledge that he has gained over many years of satisfying customers.. some of these tips were big and some were small.. let me just tell you to ask for the wite-out tip! This was one of the most satisfying and enjoyable meetings with a service provider that we have ever had. We highly recommend contacting and using this wonderful Company for your Pool Maintenance and Service needs as we will as future needs arise.
