This has been one of the most painful, drawn out customer service issues I have ever experienced. We decided on Joy to build our pool back in 2019. Let's start from the beginning shall we?
2020:
-Considering we started building during COVID, everything started off fine.
Side note: I was newly pregnant during construction.
-I noticed one day the pool tile went up and I didn't remember picking it out. I thought maybe I forgot until I went back and looked at the tile I picked out and took pictures of. So the tile I picked out is not what was put up and nobody thought to inform us of the switcharoo. This turned out to be the least of our problems...
-As the pool completed (on time), I started to notice TONS of quality issues, mainly cosmetic but when you spend almost 6 figures on something you expect a certain level of quality in return. Issues such as: mismatched drain covers, sloppy job of concrete repair (splatters all over our brick), ugly white PVC pipe inserted for our drains, huge gap (read: tripping hazard) between driveway and pool area, another drain placed without a cover directly onto pool deck - had to tell them to move it which they did....right on top of a sprinkler - had to tell them move it again. Major incompetence. Other little things that weren't as important as well.
-The beautiful stone I picked out to edge the pool and was also used on our steps (didn't know steps were being redone but it looked nice), is dangerously slippery. My daughter slipped and fell, I slipped and almost fell (and I promise if I had fallen and something happened to this baby......), my husband slipped and fell twice which resulted in massive bruises. After telling them how negligent it was to have such slippery options around the pool they said they would do something to make it less slippery. It is now 2022 and nothing has been done.
2021:
After having the pool for less than a year we noticed major discoloring on several parts of the stone from the spa to pool. They would fix it and it would return.
We then noticed that the entirety of the sides of the pool were turning black. They basically told us they didn't know what was going on and that was it.
Side note: my little girl was born at the beginning of 2021.
We only got to use our brand new pool for a year when black stuff started appearing in it. They told us it was 'probably' fine to still swim in. Um no. We are not swimming in a pool sign an unknown black substance with our family. Wtf.
2022: So we have not been able to use our pool, including the hot tub, the slippery of the tiles still not addresses and the lackluster customer service has yet to improve.
Side note: the baby I was pregnant with when these issues started and were communicated is now walking. That's how long we've been struggling through things with this company. It's unbelievable. We totally regret using Joy Pools and I would advise anyone else to avoid them. read more
