Initially I was happy with my pool and pool deck remodel. The crew who redid my pool tile, added a wadding pool and did a good job on the pool itself. Frank was really good and helpful. Beware however, they only cover the cost of one repair when they do the work so if they jack hammer up your existing deck and it causes plumbing leaks they will charge you to fix them. Also they have no regard for any landscaping that you might currently have around your pool, mine was completely trashed. Every morning before they arrived I would go and pull all of the scraps of wood, concrete, tile, rebar and what ever else they tossed and piled in my flower beds out. This went on until they finished the pool. Then they started on the deck. I knew this would be messy and dusty so I tried to be tolerant. Again they got off to a good start. They used tile spacers to space them well, after the first day they stopped even attempting to use spacers and were just kind eyeballing things. I gave up on my saving my flowerbeds, figured I'd see what was left when they finished. they put in a lovely drainage system in the porcelain deck tile I had picked out. Looks good anyway, doesn't work so well. They eliminated the grading incline to the house that the previous deck had so first rain my house almost flooded but since I happened to be home I prevented it. Towards the end of my deck installation they started getting sloppy, said the tiles were different sizes. That might be but you can look at and see where if a tile had been cut to fit better then the rest of the tiles would have lined up better. I have tiles that rock, I'm afraid they will crack when I put my pool furniture back. I didn't expect perfection but honestly I was embarrassed by it and what I the amount we paid for sloppy work. We were going to have a party when it was finished to show our friends, we didn't.
Jon Harrison came by to see what my issues were. When I explained what I was having trouble with he said he would adjust one of the crooked tiles and install a drain in the deck. I asked him if he would be happy with this pool deck in his backyard and he said yes. He offered some terrible ideas to deal with the drainage pipe they left sticking out in my backyard. It was then that I realized if he thought this job was good then I didn't want him doing anymore work on my pool deck. I paid him and parted ways. It will be easy enough to fix all the issues, so much so that I'm going to do it myself, that's to say it would have been easy enough for Jon's crew to have fixed these issues but instead I'm writing a terrible review. I don't like to do that, Jon seems like a nice guy, I gave him the opportunity to fix it but he thought the work was good and that I was overly critical. If he can't see the problems I can't feel very confident about him fixing it. I read his five star reviews, that's what I wanted to write but I can't in all honestly. Maybe this was a fluke but my experience was not positive. read more
