We also had another pool guy come in to assess the work that Aaron did and our suspicions were reaffirmed that work was done poorly and sloppily.
I would also like to emphasize the casual and unprofessional nature of this kid. He brought in at least 20 different people over the course of the project to install 1 heat pump. That means 20+ of his boys getting a look at the layout and back ways of our property. On a few occasions he even brought over his girlfriend and some of his friends to have lunch at our poolside.
We ended up not paying for the defective heater he installed, but he DID charge us an absurd $7000 for the shoddy "plumbing" work he did. He showed up at our place of business and caused a scene when we disputed the charges.
Beware of this kid. Aaron will sweet talk you and tell you about the amazing discounts he's hooking you up with (after the massive mark-ups), but in the end you'll be getting screwed over. Please DO NOT let this kid screw you over too!
owned by Aaron Figaroa. We used their
service from October 2013 to June 4, 2014 and had many problems with his
service and advice for pool use.
Epic Pools offered a
special on Angies List. The special
offered pool service for one year to include:
Weekly pool cleanings, Provide regular chemicals, Clean skimmer basket, Test water Chemistry and balance water accordingly, Skim water surface, Brush pool walls, Vacuum pool as needed, Backwash filter, Clean salt cell, if applicable.
In addition, we paid him to change the pool to a salt water
pool which looked nice for the first two months. Then the pool began to have problems from
then on. The chemical balance was always off. Aaron would miss prearranged service dates. This
created more imbalances in the pool, turning the pool green with algae and
bacteria. Finally, after months of frustration and not
being able to use the pool safely, we hired another pool consultant to get a
second opinion. We discovered that Aaron
was not adjusting the problem with the right chemicals and over using other
chemicals. Also, that the multiport
valve on filter broken, bad gasket, was out and when the back wash was done, it
pushed the bad water back into the pool.
Also, when Aaron installed the piping for the salt water conversion, the
pipes were not plum, causing a leak in the pipes.
The pool never returned to the proper balance, until we
hired another pool company on June 5, 2014.
These pool issues made it impossible to allow our guests’
usage, as it could have jeopardized their health. When I asked Aaron if the pool could be used
because of its color/condition, he informed me that the pool was safe to use. On June 4, the pool was greenish, and I again
called to ask Aaron if the pool could be used. He said yes, and then when I clarified
stating my guests have a specific health issue he said “No then you cannot use
the pool”. Aaron would put shock into the pool and say
the guests could swim right away, yet the other pool person stated it should
not be used for 12 to 24 hours after shock is put into the pool.
Aaron would not return calls for days and when he missed
scheduled appointments he made excuses. He
would also send unknown and inexperienced staff.
I feel that his clients’ health may be compromised should he continue to do business in this way.
Thank you sincerely for your time and attention to this critical matter.
My only concern is his becoming so busy that he has to develop other guys to do what he did. It is hard to develop others to give the same care and service as he does personally. This is his key challenge but he has been working personally with a new guy to train him properly and follows up with me to see how he did.
Anyone with a pool and needing service whether new equipment, major service or installation or weekly pool maintenance would be well served to talk with Aaron. He will do what you want and do it to your satisfaction.
