Electrical for the cabana gets greentagged today. It's been about an additional $1000 to bring their shoddy work up to code. To sum up, they jammed us pretty good on our deck (we paid for 767 sq feet of Rainbow Handseed and gotm 560 ft of washed aggregate pea gravel) , and on the main filter pump. Get this, if they had installed a Hayward Pump as the contract insisted, instead of the Pentair Challenger they gave us, we would have three years warranty with Hayward instead of one. How do you put a price on that?

If they had just paid the deck contractor in the first place, we may have never figured all this out. We had a problem with the Hayward heater, and the first thing the technician said when he came to our place was, "wow, that's not a Hayward pump..."

We have withheld final pool payment, finding them in default, and will let the court settle it.

Any advice for heading into Small Claims will be greatly appreciated!!!
