Typical contractor pattern.. start a job, get a deposit on another and start it , get a deposit on another and start it, etc.... Stay on them or you will fall to the bottom of the chain real fast.

I'm having the same issue with mine. He came 2 weeks ago and picked up a deposit. The next day his crew showed up and chipped out the plaster and ground down the old decking ... nothing since then and every call to the office gets the same ' we'll have someone out in the morning ' response. Today they got a voice mail from me stating I would be charging them 200.00 per day until the job is finished since the original contract stated they would complete by June 1st.


It's not just a pool thing. The construction industry is like that in general. It's all about cash flow.
