My Experience

• June, 2021 - Bob Whitaker was contracted to renovate the pool coping, tile, and plaster. I paid Bob Whitaker $4,050 deposit.
• September 22nd, 2021 - Two men show up unanounced and drain 30k gallons of salt pool water into my backyard. Bob Whitaker did not acquire a permit for the renovation, and the workers could not respond to my concerns since they did not speak any English. Over two days they demolished my pool. The automatic pool cover track was removed and bent in the process. This is how they left it. The permit in our township must be submitted by the contractor. I sent the permit application to Bob Whitaker fully completed and ready for submission.
• October 5th, 2021 - Bob Whitaker informs me that he cannot find coping.
• October 20th, 2021 - Bob Whitaker again tells me he cannot find coping. Since my pool has been a garbage pit for the past month with no end in sight, I request that the debris get cleaned up from my demolished pool.
• October, 28th, 2021 - I once again ask Bob Whitaker about the permits and coping.
• November 3rd, 2021 - Most tile, coping, and debris is removed.
• November 17th, 2021 - Bob Whitaker once again tells me he cannot find coping. He tells me I should search suppliers myself.
• March 1st, 2022 - Bob Whitaker has not contacted me since November, so I texted Bob and asked the status of the permit application and coping. He did not address the permit since he did not apply for it. He told me that he found a coping that will cost an additional $5200. At this point I suspected I was being scammed, and requested the return of my deposit.
• March 3rd, 2022 - Bob Whitaker stopped taking my phone calls and has refused to return the $4,050 deposit. I've had other renovators review the demolition. In addition to the bent pool cover track, mortar was not properly removed. The sloppy demolition may have damaged the plumbing, which now needs to be pressure tested.
