I had a horrible experience at California Waters. I had bid out a project as a general contractor to multiple water feature contractors. The estimating team I had dealt with was amazing. California Waters ended up being the most reasonable priced out of the three and they were very knowledgeable with what the architect had envisioned. After signing a contract with the owner Mark is where all the trouble started. The contract was almost scratched out in blood with all the red lines addressed. Not only that it took Mark over 1 month to negotiate these red lines. Now we are a month behind schedule. The project manager was very rude, had no personality and was grumpy the whole project. After a few weeks into the job I received change order after change order because of the over used term "I didn't have that in my contract". The construction crew didn't even look like they knew what they were doing half the time. The water feature ended up splashing out over the coping and constantly wetting the area. I had a horrible experience with this company and would not recommend them ever again. The owner Mark acts like he knows what he is talking about and treats you like you are beneath him. He is very unprofessional and down right rude. Don't always trust the low bidder. After the project was finished California Waters ended up being higher than all three bids by 10%. I don't ever post bad experiences but I did feel the need to warn you. read more
