He returned our phone call to set an appointment to determine a proposition. He arrived with his wife exhibiting several one inch square samples of quartz finishes. He also invited us to visit his current work project to view his work in-progress as a reference and provided his website address for examples of his work. During the conversation, my wife asked them where they resided. His wife was going to respond, but he cut her off and claimed he lived on Plantation division in Pharr. I missed the cut off but my wife did not, the first warning we both neglected. He emailed us a proposal of $1800 for surface preparation and re-surfacing the pool and whirlpool with a quartz finish; additional was extra, i.e. concrete repair. After considering his proposal for several days, we called Aaron to accept his proposal. On June 25th, we paid him an initial down payment of $600 with a check. Since his proposal did not state when the remaining balance was due, throughout the work project he asked for small payments that we paid in checks with one cash payment. Second warning occurred on his start date and time. After claiming to start the following day, Tuesday June 30, he failed to call to notify us with delaying starting the work. We called him on Wednesday to inquire about the delay; he apologized for not starting or calling about the delays; he would and did start our pool repair on Thursday. His unpunctuality became a continuous pattern. When his workers were ready to leave for the day, Aaron would call or knock on our back door to inform us they would return the following day between 8:00 and 8:30. Only once did they arrive with the stated arrival time. After the first few times, we never believed him with any provided time frames. The expectations eventually encompassed progress and completion targets. I was aware re-plastering a pool required removal of all plaster down to the cement; it provides a visual inspection of the concrete foundation and repair if required. Additionally, no warranties are available if old plaster is not removed for nothing will adhere to old plaster for any length of time. Aaron assured me he had a coating that would adhere to the old plaster and all cracks in the cement would be repaired by applying a bounding agent that he had. Each day, he tended to leave two workers, normally one very young adult, in his late teens or early twenties and seemingly experienced older adult. The deficiencies were evident from beginning to they day the stopped working on the pool. As work advanced, we began to notice the deficiencies in workmanship with his employees? work caused by his lack of supervision through his absence during the work day. After sweeping the pool of debris and removing most of the water jet covers (only two of five were removed in the from the whirlpool), they started pneumatic wire wheel brushing along visible cracks in the plaster for access to concrete damage and applying a sealant on the cracks. The removed plaster was placed into thin black trash bags, not the thick contractor trash bags. The bags were placed in a row parallel with our fence in the alley which looked unsightly. I moved the bags onto a pile; some of the bags broke that forced me to use a couple of my own contractor bags. I had hoped Aaron would notice the plaster on the ground, and piled ?contractor? bags, and contractor bags to motivate him to pick up and trash the plaster properly. It did not work. An additional payment was required for materials and labor for the cracks. After the cracks and holes were exposed, the top plaster layers were also wire wheeled. I asked if the wire wheel abrasions were going to be filled in. Aaron responded, ?The top quartz layer will fill in the abrasions.? On the pool floor, large swaths of plaster was removed that resembled pits. Concrete was used as the filler that was not properly finished; the concrete is uneven, looked pitted and I did not see any type of bonding agent on the concrete. The bounding agent was applied; the quartz was spread by hand onto the bonding agent and a clear topcoat on top of the quartz. I do not know if the bonding agent works on both the plaster and the concrete. Small squares of about three feet by three feet were worked on at a time for applying the quartz. The quartz application should have had the same even shades of blue. Instead, there are different shades of blue squares. Areas where cracks were treated have a darker shade of blue. Aaron also recommended having the steps and a circle around the drain a different shade of color to for better visibility stepping into the pool and debris around the drain. I thought it was a good idea and opted for a lighter shade of blue. I though he was going to apply a lighter colored quartz; instead he simply the painted the plaster on the suggested areas. Instead of removing all the jet covers, quartz was applied on the rubber covers; how are they supposed to be removed? After they left for the day, I removed the quartz from the covers. After applying the quartz, the clear topcoat was ?smeared? over the quartz. The clear topcoat should have been the final procedure to protected the quartz and provide a smooth finish, it does not. As the workers progressed from square to square, they applied uneven topcoat thicknesses. Instead of leaving the topcoat clear, additional quartz was applied to try to cover imperfections. By applying the quartz on top of the clear coat, the final finish was rough that tended to scrape the skin, cut hands and feet. When he claimed the pool was finished, I told him is not. I informed him his worker had applied a topcoat on the tile and only 50% of the pool. I could see where topcoat shined and where his worker had stopped applying the topcoat. When he arrived, I pointed it out to him and he blamed his worker. I told him he is still responsible for the work for they work for him. He said he needed to purchase from Lowe?s some type of clear coat to add to his topcoat for greater protection. He came the following day, July 18, to apply an additional topcoat himself. Still, the final product was ugly. Between the preparation and applying the quartz, a man came by the house to ask about Aaron?s work. Since the quartz application had not started, we gave the man positive feedback. I asked Aaron why the different shades of color. He claimed all the quartz was going to darken. He said to commence filling the pool after 8:00PM; instead I waited until Thursday night to start filling the pool. The pool was used Saturday, July 21st. When our adult children and grandchildren swam in the pool, several of the kids received scrapes and cuts from the finish. They complained their feet hurt. One grandchild said there were air bubbles underneath the blue paint surrounding the drain. I called Aaron on Sunday, July 21st to notify him of the problems. I informed him I had started draining the pool and would be ready for him to view on Monday. He came late in the afternoon and said he had contacted his supplier who had recommended allowing the pool to dry a couple of days and at least three days after reapplying the topcoat. Since July, 22 Aaron has not appeared and does not want to answer our phone calls. We have tried to contact him numerous times and left messages without success. He called our daughter under the impression of a proposal request. She told him we were upset he had deceived and taken advantage of us.

The office staff seems accommodating but in reality they just relay messages and don't necessarily follow through. I have an old T12 flourescent fixture where the ballast needed replacing which is in an awkward position in the attic. On Friday, the electrician told me that as of July 2012 they will no longer make bulbs for this fixture. The question was do I fix this or just get new lighting. The electrician quoted me a price of $187 to fix but said he did not have the ballast and would have to come back. He charged me $20.00 for the visit. I asked him to quote me on some newer fixtures, ones that would not be obsolete since he did not have the ballast. Then we could decide what would be more cost efficient based on the four quotes he was going to provide me with. He knew that was my only light in the bathroom and said he would have the quotes on Monday. Monday came and went, I called the office on Tuesday. The office was accommodating and said he would get back to me that day. Tuesday came and went. I called again and was told he was working on the quotes and I asked if I could have them via email so I could make a quick decision and get the job done since I was without lighting in that bathroom. I called again on Friday and was told the electrician would call when he was done with his last job. He called around 6pm a week later with some info. He gave me a verbal quote of $187 to fix the obsolete fixture and gave me a verbal quote of $340 for a T8 which is about to become obsolete in a year and the newer fixtures which are energy efficient he said he could not quote because he could not find my size but would continue looking. At this point, he should have declined the job since he knew he did not want it. Two weeks later, I have heard nothing and no call back. I called another electrical contractor who asked me what kind of fixture, said he would find the ballast and be here the next morning to fix so that I would at least have lights in that bathroom. And he came the next morining and in twenty minutes I had light and at 1/3 of the quoted price by Mike's! I am across the valley from McAllen , near SPI, maybe Mike's is better at serving the McAllen area. I don't think they wanted the job and should not have taken my $20.00 knowing they weren't going to do the job. The $20.00 fee is for people who waste their time. In this instance I paid them to waste my time.
