If I could give AJ pool services a negative review I definitely would! I wouldn't recommend this guy to NO-ONE! He started working on the pool July 13th a job that would take just 2 days. Allan didn't line up the previous pool to the new one. The posts are on different areas then where the hard wood deck was originally cut. So now the pool looks tacky and messy. Now they have to replace 16 of the wood planks surrounding the pool on the deck. The resident had paid half of the money up front for him to do this job; then he had asked if he could have the rest of the money after the first day, because he really needed the money. (He sounded desperate) They were nice and gave it to him before the work was completely finished. He told them that he would be back the next day to complete the work! She would text him daily asking him when he was coming to finish the job, and he would think of every excuse in the book as to why he couldn't make it or just not respond to her messages at all. He didn't come back till 7/24/19 and came while she wasn't home and didn't even tell her that he had came by and that was just to move the sand off the deck. The resident had to continuously text/ call him to cut the liner for the filter and they waited weeks, they weren't able to filter and add chemicals in the pool until he finished that job. Allan said he'd remove the old pool parts and debris and that's only because the previous pool was steel, so he was able to bring it to the junk yard and get even more money for it. He left all the old boxes to the new pool just laying around. Allan had also left a bag of mortar on the side on the pool, so now the bag is rock solid concrete instead of powder because it sat in the rain for so long waiting for him to pick it up. As well as he left 2 big bags of sand being 100 pounds on the side of their rock wall that they can't move since it's so heavy. He also left his broom and shovel laying around too that he can shove far up his ass! Allan didn't back fill around the pool which he was paid to do so! He left the back fill sand all over the deck, wheel chair ramp and walk way area refraining her handicap husband that uses the wheel chair accessible ramp from getting in and out of his house. When asked if he could come move the sand he told the resident to just use the ramp in the front of the house. (Which there isn't a ramp in the front of the house) On 7/18/19 she texted him because It became a safety issue and she had to tell him his visiting nurse was going to report it. He responded back by saying "he wouldn't be back till Saturday so tell her to do the safety check on Monday lol and it would be done Saturday" 7/20/19. On 7/20/19 he texted her saying he was running to Home Depot and he'd see her by 8:30 am, but never showed. On 7/21/19 he texted saying he woke up with back pain and he'd see her tomorrow on 7/22/19 around 5:30 pm, he again NEVER SHOWED! She texted him on 7/23/19 and never responded! He left the handicap resident and his family member to put the back fill in and do his job that he was paid to do! Resident had texted him on 7/24/19 asking him if he could at least give back some of the money that they had paid him in full to pay someone else to finish his job. He never responded to the text so on 7/29/19 she texted him again saying that he never responded to the last text and within 10 minutes he responded to her text. He told the resident that he would be there tomorrow the next day on 7/30/19 and never came then said that day on 7/30/19 that he would he there tomorrow on 7/31/19. Every time she would text him he was always "sick" or had unexpected plans with his family. I personally think that if he was so "sick" all the time that he should re-think this line of work because he obviously isn't capable or cut for doing this type of work! The last and final text he sent was on 7/31/19 stating that "you have my word and I'll be there tomorrow" that was the last thing she had herd from him. It's now August 31st and he still has yet to come by like he said or text her back. A job that was supposed to take 2 days and it's been over a month and a half now. The resident has all the text messages saved on her phone, so everyone can see how much of a lying, procrastinator and piece of shit he really is! He was always beating around the bush and making them wait. Allan also told them that he has been in the business for the last 26 years, which was also a bullshit lie because on his Facebook page it says he's been in the business for 20 years! All he ever did was lie and take advantage of my poor grandparents that's all he EVER did! He pretty much robbed my grandparents of their money and did shitty work. It disgusts me that he doesn't have a heart and can be so conniving! I hope everyone takes my review into consideration and thinks twice about having any work done by him. Good luck to anyone that chooses him I'm only looking out for everyone else's pools and their money! read more
