Scott Gettle with Gettle Pools has forever damaged our lives. We contracted with Gettle pools and scott gettle to convert our pool to a spa in May of 2015. He was referred to us by a neighbor and he seemed very nice and trusting. He even invited us to a party at his house to view his pool for the rockwork we wanted done was similiar to what he has. From then on it went downhill. He took 9000.00 downpayment. and left on vacation. His crew was supposed to start within two weeks. But never showed while he was gone for two weeks. Once he was finally back he sent workers who had no idea of the plan of what was to be done at our house. it was a nightmare.
We now find out that he did the pool reconfiguration and did not pull a permit. he refuses to fix the disoclored and uneven pool finish. the jets in the hot tub are too low and do not hit your back, and he calls us names and how "stupid" we are. We had to report him to the manatee county construction board for not pulling a permit. THey laid it on him. his contracting license is now in question because he did not fix our pool properly. We trusted him and spent 30,000.00 to do a pool reconstruction and were totally ripped off. it has been so frustraiting that we contemplate selling the house because it makes us sick to our stomaches everytime we look at this shoddy pool construction.
issues that he refuses to fix
1. pool finish is blotchey, stained, discolored, and uneven (new finish looks 20 years old)
2. pool light is not connected and has water in it.--shocks the pool water when it turns on
3. all the decorative rock has lost its color
4. brick pavers are uneven
5. didn't pull a permit for any of the work
6. pool drains are loose at bottom
7. pool/spa therapy jets are two inches above the seat and have no effect
8. had to fight with them to reinstall our pool baby barrier --federal law that this must be in place
BEWARE---he seems very nice and trustworthy. but you will get ripped off and he will not warranty anything
My contract says lifetime warranty on the pool finish. can't even get a two week warranty taken care of. Estimate to repair the issues by another company are over $10,000.00
BEWARE BEWARE
When we reported him to the manatee county construction office. he tried to say he never did work at our house. had to show the county cashed checks in his bank account for him to finally admit that he did the work at our house. NOT A NICE PERSON
