Unfortunately, what started as decent service turned into an extremely unreliable experience. The…read moreservice became more and more inconsistent until there were weeks when our pool simply wasn't being serviced at all. We repeatedly had to reach out and ask when someone was actually going to show up. The most frustrating part is that we never missed or delayed a payment. We held up our end of the relationship, yet the company showed very little regard for holding up theirs. Going weeks without service and having to chase down your pool company is not acceptable. Communication was poor, reliability was virtually nonexistent, and the overall lack of professionalism was extremely disappointing. A business cannot expect customers to continue paying for a service that they have to repeatedly remind the company to actually provide. I'm leaving this review as a warning to potential customers: if consistency, communication, and reliability matter to you, I would think twice before hiring this company. Unfortunately, I don't believe we are the only customers who will eventually become frustrated by this level of service.

Beware of this contractor!! The owner, Tom Hathcox, did not follow our written contract,…read moreeliminating critical items just to cut corners.

I told him I will have to sue him for this mess and he told me, go ahead, I'm broke. I am now taking legal action against him and his company. Stay away from this company!!!!

He has stiffed numerous subs from what I hear. We canceled our contract prior to any work ever starting or any permits being granted, yet Tom refuses to give the money back. I fully intent to exhaust all efforts to see that justice is served. He has ripped off so many people that he thinks he's entitled to the money. Most crooked contractor that I have ever come across. They change their company name on other websites to hide the bad reviews. He does business in Slidell in Lakeshore Estates, etc. so please share with anyone you know in the area. DO NOT use this company for your pool building needs. His low ball offer that he will make you isn't worth the headache!

I have had this pool for seven years prior to hiring this company and never had this issue. I had my chemicals tested at Clearwater Gulf Coast two weeks prior and there were no Issues with the Stabilizer. I had my pool water tested today by Clearwater Gulf Coast and my stabilizer level was 140 -150. This water is not safe to swim in and the day prior my pool was serviced by Matt from Biloxi Pool and Spa. Matt told me via text that I was all set and my pool looked good and that he added chemicals to make the chemistry right. I was not at home when the pool was serviced and I took Matt's word. When I looked at my pool the next morning the bottom was dirty. I immediately brought my pool water to be tested and that is when I found out my chemicals was so off my pool would need to be drained and refiled. I asked matt if he had used chlorine Stabilizer and he avoided the question he finally admitted that he had but he would not tell me how much stabilizer he had put in my pool. I asked Matt to stand behind his work his response was "You never paid me for me to stand behind it."

I have never written a negative review about a company before, but I feel it's important to share…read moreour experience so others know what to expect. We are currently in the process of having a pool built by Blue Haven Pools on the Gulf Coast. In the beginning, everything was excellent. Our designer, Laura, was wonderful. She took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted, thoughtfully designed our pool, and made sure every detail matched our vision. She was knowledgeable, patient, and a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely give her 10/10. The financing process was also smooth. Communication was prompt, and any questions we had were answered quickly. We were given a dig date of April 21 and an estimated completion time of 6-8 weeks, with an anticipated swim date around June 10. We understood those dates were estimates, but once the pool was dug on April 21, the experience changed dramatically. Communication became extremely difficult. Weeks would go by without anyone coming to work on the project, and we received little to no communication. I texted our project manager several times without a response. I called repeatedly, left multiple voicemails with Blue Haven, and sent several emails, all with no reply. After nearly a week and a half of trying to reach someone, I finally contacted the financing department simply asking if our project manager was okay and if someone could please return my calls. Eventually, I was contacted by the project manager's supervisor, who told me he would be taking over our project temporarily and assured me everything would get back on track. At that point, nearly four weeks had passed since anyone had worked on our pool. He met with us, reviewed the project, and I approved and signed a change order for an additional $7,400 worth of pavers. I was told they had been ordered and that work would begin within a few days. Meanwhile, the original pavers had already been sitting in our front yard for over five weeks, damaging our lawn. The following Monday, sand for the pavers was delivered despite a tropical storm being forecast for the next day. I even reached out expressing concern that the sand would be washed away, but I never received a response. By the end of that week, no crews arrived, no new pavers had been delivered, and there was no communication. The following week I was told that rain had delayed the schedule and that we were "third in line." This was confusing because only a week earlier we had supposedly been days away from starting paver installation. Since the additional pavers still hadn't been delivered and I hadn't even received an invoice, it became difficult to believe they had actually been ordered when I was originally told they had been. Eventually, the pavers did arrive after my husband contacted management again, but two more weeks passed with beautiful weather and still no work began. Again, our project manager stopped responding to texts and calls. When my husband reached out to management once more, we learned that our project manager had actually submitted his resignation. Had we not continued calling, we likely would have never known. We were promised another update the following day regarding next steps. As of today, our pavers have been sitting in our front yard for nearly two months. There is construction debris throughout our backyard, a large pile of dirt that now has grass growing through it, and because the dirt blocks access, I can't get my lawn mower into the backyard. I've had to use a weed eater just to keep the grass down and reduce the chance of snakes. Our fence has remained down throughout the project, making it difficult to let our dogs outside and leaving the construction visible from the road. I'm also concerned about potential HOA violations because of the condition of our property. I understand that construction projects experience delays, weather happens, and schedules change. What has been most disappointing isn't the delays themselves--it's the lack of communication, the repeated unreturned calls and messages, and being given timelines that ultimately weren't accurate. A simple phone call or text updating us would have gone a long way. Our experience has been stressful and disappointing. While the design and sales process were outstanding, the project management and communication after construction began have not met the level of service we expected. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Blue Haven Pools. If you choose to work with them, I would encourage you to prepare for potential communication challenges and a project timeline that may extend well beyond the original estimate.
