We initially met with Ryan in early May 2019 to discuss the particulars of our pool, the pitch was great and gave us hope for a good experience and a new pool in our backyard in 8-12weeks. After a couple weeks in the decision making process we chose to go with Premier Pools and again met with Ryan at the Gilbert Az office to sign the contract and choose materials, at that time again he told us the company likes to have 8 weeks for completion, however give us 12 for possible delays. Here we are at 11 weeks into the project and still have a dirt hole. The second week in July they finally came out to mark out for the dig and the plan was 1 foot off, WE caught this before it caused a major problem. We met with Ryan and Ish before the dig at which time Ish let us know there was no mention of the material for the cap on the spa in the plans and gave us a choice between concrete or travertine(travertine being the least expensive, we chose travertine. The excavation team came in on July 11, 19, six weeks after initial signing and charged us an additional 2600.00 for a supposed hard dig, we were out of town so we had no recourse but to sign for it through doc-u-sign, however, there is no evidence of soil changes through the depths to warrant this additional charge. The plumbers were here 7/18-20/19 to put in the pump and since it was charged, has been leaking, due to a cracked concrete pad, which they also installed. On July 22, 19 we contacted Ryan though email to see if it would also be cost effective to change the concrete and acrylic deck to travertine to match the spa cap and was told this could not happen due to the elevation being set, we responded asking for a logical explanation, he never responded. On 7/26/19 the rebar was installed, no problem. The electricians came in 7/29/19, no problem there. Then the gas contractors came in and moved the electric line, which caused a failed inspection (we found the notice in the box, the company did not notify us, we had to call them), this has been remedied, however added yet another unnecessary delay. On 8/7/19 we again reach out to Ryan about the decking and was able to make the change from concrete and acrylic to travertine, of course at an additional charge due in part to the increased shotcrete that would be needed to change the elevation. This is somewhat understandable but leads one to question whether this would have been the case if Ryan had responded to the first email on 7/22/19. We were informed that shotcrete would be 1 week from rebar, however it was pushed back due to the failed inspection, we again contacted the office multiple times and finally it was scheduled for 8/14/19 changed again to 8/16/19 yet we received a text on 8/16/19 that it is again being rescheduled. To this point the communication and progression has been has been atrocious and has left us feeling like just another number in their books. I have read some of the negative reviews and there seems to be common themes; communication, timeliness and excuses with generic corporate responses. The solution would be for corporate to initiate change rather than play into and condone the actions of those represent their image. read more
