Gary is an absolute scam artist. We hired him in January 2021 (today is sept 2021) and he still hasn't finished our pool. He keeps making every excuse in the world to not be able to make it to our house to finish. He will pretend and say he will be there on a certain date and never shows.
He had us pay extra for removing plaster that "he has never seen a worse pool before". Took 3 months for him and "big boy" (his worker) to come get it from our driveway. We have multiple things that have not been completed with our pool. He pocketed over 10k from us. He is not to be trusted or to do business with. We have tried to contact him ans it is now radio silence.
We contracted with Gary Lively on 3/16/15 to rebuild our pool. We paid him $2,971.00. He came out and worked for only two hours, then refused to continue working or refund our money. He always had excuses, "death in the family" "My best friend Wayne died" and "I have a heart condition now". Then it was "sorry, it was just too hot to work this summer". We sued him in small claims court, but the process server could not locate him to serve process. I don't know if the 3700 Bishop Hill Drive is even his real address. This contractor is a fraud, a con man and should be avoided at all costs. A lazy slug who doesn't want to do any work. We also contacted the local police about him. I believe he still lurking in the Collin County, Texas area.
