Solid Rock Pools and Spas

BEWARE!!! WORST CONTRACTOR EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!! The owner, Michael Kimball, is a complete narcissist. I don't have the time or energy to describe the entire experience and everything that went wrong, but perhaps I'll come back to this post to fill in the blanks. The main thing customers need to know is that they will say "it takes 90 days to build a pool", but ours went approximately 5-6 months before they walked off the job. The reason they walked off the job...the owner got his feelings hurt because we took exception to the fact that they pumped hazardous waste materials (liquid, foam, slurry, semi-solids, and MURIATIC ACID) from the Pebble Tec application into a hole they dug on our property. And because we wanted to investigate whether we needed to clean up the illegal dumping, we wanted to stick to the revised payment schedule that we agreed in writing. You read that right...We refused to make an early payment because we wanted to investigate the illegal dumping of hazardous materials on our property and into our well water, and the owner instructed his team to walk off the job, threatening that the upcoming freeze would void our warranty. A quick Google search will tell you that this is an environmental nightmare, unlawful, and dangerous to pets, people, plants, and wildlife. When we expressed our concern and wanted to look into whether a clean-up was needed, and we were told, "We've done this on over 300 pools," and that they know best. Paulding County and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division felt otherwise and agreed that this was egregious and unlawful behavior. There's so much more that happened that's complete insanity, and I have the screenshots and receipts to prove it. So perhaps when I have more time, I'll come back and provide all of the sordid details. Until then...be careful!
