Has anyone ever used DEPENDABLE SWIM POOL SERVICE?

We used him to install the liner on the pool last year, and it practically took all summer to do. It was partially our fautl because the old owner stole part of teh filter out of spite, so we needed pieces here and there... Like an idiot, I call him to open our pool. On May 5, he took the cover off and when going to vacuum it, he realized that the breaker had been turned off for teh filter. Brian left the money outside for him. He told me that he was coming back the next day. It's been two weeks, I have heard excuse after excuse. I haven't heard from him since last SUnday, he won't answer his phone, won't call me back... message after message has been left and I don't know the first thing about assembling the filter... We are out $180.00, my pool is green and I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo aggravated. I feel like a sucker, but more than anything, I want the pool done! I am having compnay on Memorial Day! If you get one of his advertisements in the mail-chuck it!

OMG! I would be steaming mad! I am so sorry this happened to you, but yes- this has happened to me several times. I tend to hire totally undependable people. Are they licensed? You should report them to the better business bureau!! Call him for his license number and ket him know if you dont hear from him by X, you will go through with this action. That is awful!!!

BTW, The name is funny..... Dependable!! My a$$. LMAO!
