I'm making this post to inform anyone who will do business with Vance Calvin…read more He has not returned $300 of my money from renting an RV from him because of a review I left. I only had hot water 1-2 days out of the entire time I lived there. Leaks, frass. (The first leak was April 5th, less than a week after moving in. Frass noticed in the previous leak areas on May Ist for the first time) I am posting this because we had a money exchange and he kept $300, when I even was nice and suggested he keep $258 additional that he owed. He has his own responses, but I also have my own proof and will be filing complaints.

The nightmare of dealing with Montgomery Custom Pools is like dealing with the most dysfunctional…read morefamily member in your life. Sales sold us our pool and claimed that if the build took longer than 6 weeks, there was a problem. The build took a lot longer and sales quit taking our calls. We never knew from day to day if anyone would be at our house to work. The owner had the nerve to tell us that we lived too far and the trips to our house had killed his margin. This was after he was paid in full mind you... The owner's early 20s son basically built our pool. We are convinced we were guinea pigs for him to learn. Example: At one point, the kid buried a drainage pipe in the dirt. We brought this up to the owner who asked if we would dig it up and measure the pipe so he did not have to drive to our house. We did...unhappily...and the smell from water being stagnant and mud clogging the "drainage" hole was horrific! This sparked extreme worry as to what else was done 1/2 ways. After the build was complete, we paid to get a 2nd opinion on the plumbing as we suspected there was air in the lines based on prior experience with a pool. We had brought this up to the owner who told us that if we find the problem, to let him know; he claimed to have already checked and couldn't find anything. Turns out our 2nd opinion found the problem right away, fixed it, and let us know that the plumbing was cheaply done and we may eventually have to get it redone. The routing was too short and the piping should have been a 1/2 size larger. Not to mention, our pool equipment looks like the leaning tower of Pisa. Every day that contractors were at our house, we had to pick up garbage so our dogs wouldn't eat it (i.e. taco wrappers, drink bottles, etc.) The son had a young lady with him one day who used my backyard as a bathroom. When they were called out on it, we got to hear colorful language pertaining to us and how far we lived. We relied heavily on our backyard cameras to let us know when people were working. Again, we never knew from day to day. There was NO communication. The unfortunate part is that the company did not apply for permits with the county ahead of building our pool, so we did not have that safety in place. We also found out (from the owner) mid build that he had been fined - something to do with permits on another build. Here we are months later... We just received a letter in the mail from the gunite company threatening to put a lien on our house for non-payment. When we called the owner of Montgomery Custom Pools, there was a screaming match. P.S. we received a written piece of paper from Vance via text message that he paid the gunite company by exchanging services for a Jeep. We should not know that level of his financial situation. Nor should we have ever received a letter like that...months after our pool was "complete". He has sad stories galore and nothing is his fault. No-one should have to deal with a company like this. Unprofessional and an all-around NIGHTMARE to deal with! Caveat - we had a pool built in our previous home and know the process. Do your homework. Read reviews. Ask for reputable references. Update - June 21, 2018 We are now getting harassment texts and phone calls from the owner regarding this review. In addition, we have had to pay to get plumbing re-worked and are looking into getting concrete decking redone due to the concrete cracking. Not to mention the surface of our pool having craters. It's extremely frustrating. Again, do your homework on reputable references. Update - Sept 12, 2018 Simply warning consumers. Still receiving harassment communications regarding online reviews. It has gotten to the point where he is bullying us with threats. NOT OKAY. The positive out of this experience is meeting others that share similar horror stories from dealing with this company. Frustrating but nice to know we weren't the only ones dealing with lies.

Cannot Recommend Them…read more Had a hot tub installed by Accent Outdoors earlier this year. In July, I contacted our Rep. regarding one of the lights in the hot tub already rusting. Was told that they would get someone out at earliest to fix it. Here we are in November, and still nothing. Have sent multiple requests. Also, during design phase, we decided to have pop up fountains installed, that function every time the pump is running. Wasn't told that because they pop up every time the pump runs, that we could not get a cover for the tub. And also, with any big wind events, the water is blown from the fountains out onto the ground., thus draining the tub. Again asked out Rep a month ago, if we could just cap the fountains off, because they are not worth the trouble. Was informed that they did not know if they could be capped, but would "check and get back to us". Nearly a month later, still no response. When you have work done, such as installing a hot tub / pool, I expect some level of customer service to follow / continue after completion. We cannot recommend using Accent Outdoors

Stephanie was very helpful and clearly outlined the steps/ cost to repair and install the fountain.

I couldn't be more pleased having this lovely fountain fully functional, from being in pieces in my backyard for six months. If you are looking for a company that is extremely knowledgeable on fountain installation, operation and maintenance, this is the place!

****please see update below before you purchase from this company*****…read more I've purchased 4 fountains and statue from this company. Worst customer service ever. Stephanie and her family, Jeannine and Bob own this company. Stephanie, apparently allows her husband to control her customer service at her company. Stephanie is young but she will realize in time that her husband is not an asset but a liability to her families company. I will never buy from this company again. This company is having some financial difficulties right now...it is winter and the Covid-19 Pandemic. I purchased a fountain from them on Monday, Dec 07 and picked it up...(no, offer for delivery) on Tuesday, Dec 08. I put this fountain together myself. No offer from the company after spending $350.00 for a small fountain. My spouse and I have spent over $1500 with this company. Apparently no respect for good customers. I put the fountain together perfectly...all by myself. Again, no offer from the company to assist. "Horrible customer service". I called the phone number given to me and who answers....Stephanie's horrible husband. He couldn't have been more rude. His response to me was that there was going to be a charge of $250...then reduced down to $150 ....then reduced down to $75. He stated that minimum charge would be $75 for simple 10 minute leveling of the fountain. Very simple process that requires pennies or plastic leveling tabs. However, he went one step further to state that if he had to put the fountain together again then it would be $150.00. What an incredible asset to this company. NOT. I'm 5 miles from their store. They could easily have stated that they would come over for a good customer that has purchased 4 fountains/statue from them and that they would do this for free. Again, it's a 10 minute fixe for a professional. And, again, I've spent a lot of money on this company. Stephanie calls me and tells me that she can offer me a substantial discount on the fountain. This tells me that the company is not doing well financially....and, of course not, it's winter, Covid-19 and a poor economy right now. I felt sorry for the company since I've got more money than anyone should have right now. I've no had no financial problems during Covid-19, in fact I got a 15% raise during this time. I thought as a "goodwill" term that I would buy from them because I liked Stephanie ... not because the price was incredible. It actually was higher than the price I had paid for the large fountain that I had purchased prior to this one. Her husband is a technician for them. Technician may go to far. I'm not even sure if he has a college degree. All, I know is that he mistreated an exceptional customer who was doing them a favor. And, he felt this would be a good way to make some extra money. What a joke. And, what incredibly horrible customer service. I have done hiring at my company and I would never hire this guy. After speaking to him for 30 minutes on the phone, I realized that I had made a huge mistake speaking to him. He even stated "how did you get our personal cell phone number"? I told him that Stephanie had given me that phone number. Is this customer service? If you need to hide something, then I can fully understand that question. I will never use this company again and I urge all customers to never buy from this company again. Stephanie, Jeannine and Bob (Owners) are incredible. I called Jeannine, (Stephanie's mother). She apologized profusely for her son-in-law. It is only because of him that I urge everyone to boycot this company. I haven't even received an apology from Bob or Stephanie for the husband's actions. If they plan on a retraction of this review or additional business from my family, then I expect a sincere apology and a discount on the fountain. Otherwise, I will use every review site possible to disparage this company. My father is a lawyer and County Judge. At 79 his is still on the Texas state board and is still a Judge. He is stating that a lawsuit would be the only way this company would be forced to understand the way I feel. He feels that a lawsuit would be the best avenue to let this company know how serious we are about the problems with their son-in-law. He is absolutely horrible and should never be allowed to answer their phones or have anything to do with their company. He has absolutely no customer service skills. I'm ashamed for Stephanie. She can do better. She is such a sweet woman and has obviously married someone who can cause her problems....as he did with me. Again, I'm only 5 minutes away...and this could so easily have been taken care of by offering to come by and level this fountain for free. To state $250...then $150...then $75 says a lot about him. Stephanie, I hope he has a real job. And, please don't allow him to ruin your family's business. I wouldn't allow my spouse to do this either. JUST SAD!
