Again, we are responding to complaint # *** and would like to Thank you for allowing us to respond once againReviewing again from the prior response: the contract, the bid sheet and the construction build plan all do not show deck jets as part of the contract price that was agreed and approved by Mr*** by his signing of the contractThe contract serves as TradeMark Pool and Spa's agreement between client and build team, of what our client is purchasing and expectingIt is unfortunate that Mr*** did not notice that the deck jets were not included on the contractThe purpose of the contract is to avoid conversations such as theseWe will acknowledge though, that many times in the swimming pool industry homeowners will meet with a couple of companies to compare estimate and it could be that the deck jets were discussed with another sales representative from another companyTradeMark pool and Spa is not questioning Mr***'s integrity or honesty and this is an unfortunate circumstance that they (deck jets) were not included on the contract, therefore not installed during the pool buildHowever, TradeMark Pool and Spa in good faith did have three yards of dirt delivered to Mr***'s home several weeks ago and leveled it out in hopes to maintain a good relationship with him.If Mr*** would like to have deck jest added to his added to his build we can absolutely give him an estimate to do so.Sincerely,*** ***/Owner

Thank you for allowing us to respondWe have been in communication with this client a few times the past weeks. We sent a supervisor out to look at her concerns the first week of June and she is scheduled to have repairs done this week. I notified her yesterday via email (6/19)
that she was on schedule this week and that and we would email her the evening prior so she knows we will be in her yard. We are in communication with Mrs*** and are working towards getting her satisfied.

I am rejecting this response because: As represented in their statement there were numerous disconnects during my pool installation projectI never once had a face to face on site meeting with my site manager; so that he could explain and address my concerns during the various construction phasesIf this had happened as was agreed upon when I signed the contract we would not be writing the responseI am veteran of years and have worked very hard for all that I have achievedI sat down at the Trade Mark Pool office and Myself and *** when over all of desired featuresI stressed the deck jets for my grand daughter because she likes to run through themI am a honorable man and would not take too these measured if the agreed upon contract had been executed correctlyThe fact that *** neglected to include the deck jets on the contract was an error on his part, and being that we had just discussed it; I failed to notice that he had neglected to document the deck jet on the schematicAnd as I stated earlier in this rebuttal, had he (***) made met with me the consumer this could have been avoidedI am extremely disappointed in the service I have received from trademark PoolsThey did not hold up there part of the contractThe area around my pool still requires leveling out from the soil removal. I was never instructed by any worker to turn off water to my home when they departed for the day, and left the water flowing

We had a Pebble Technology Representative go out to look at the interior finish of the pool. We have already started the process of repair today. Thank you, *** / Office Manager

Response:Responding to the complaint from Mr*** ***We received the permit on 8/29/The swimming pool is deemed complete at the pre-plaster inspection sign off which was on 11/17/The City of Modesto signs off the final inspection at the same time of pre-plaster inspectionAlthough, we were told after inquiring of why the final was not signed off during the pre-plaster inspection like usual that it is at the Inspectors discretion if they would like to inspect the pool one more time and then sign the final inspectionThe final inspection was then signed off by the City on 1/24/A swimming pool permit has working days until it requires an extensionThe final inspection was approved prior to the daysRegarding the next door neighbors cracked concreteThis has been taken care of out of "good faith" as the contract clearly states that, "TradeMark Pool and Spa is not responsible for damages done in access area over which equipment must travel." This was acknowledged and initialed by the clientHowever, again we did take care of this out of "good faith" on a dry day last week(week of 2/13/17) This was also communicated to Mr*** that we were waiting on clear weather so we could complete the repair all in one dayWe apologize for their frustration but all their concerns have been addressed and taken care of to this date2/22/(We also want to note that Modesto has had over inches of rain this winter, so there was a weather delay for the neighbors repair) Thank you for allowing us to respond.Sent on: 2/22/6:38:PMSent by:

After submitting our complaint on Trademark Pool and Spa they had came out to make sure the pool was fully hooked upAfter checking the pool they had scheduled for the city to come out and do the final inspectionThe city came out the following day and the pool finally past the inspectionI had
called back to talk with *** and he said he was going to have the neighbors concrete repaired when there is no rainWe still have not heard anything back on the concrete as of todayI will give them another week before calling again.? Thanks,*** ***

Thank you for allowing us to respondPlease see attached disclaimer that the client has acknowledged and signed.? We provide information in advance to our? clients? in case? this question arises because Concrete / Coping / Interior Finish appearances can vary from job to job and
from day to day.? We take our customer service very seriously and have discussed his concern? on several occasionsIf Mr***? would like to seal his coping we would be happy to so with a signed addendum as this additional service which was not included in his contractual agreementSincerely, *** *** / OwnerTradeMark Pool and Spa

I am rejecting this response because:We appreciate the "good faith" in fixing the neighbor's discrepancy in her concrete as this also protects the image of your companyThe neighbor is still bitter about almost being run over by the machine operator during excavation so I wanted to ensure she was taken care of by TrademarkI spoke to the foreman, ***, and advised of the left over concrete at the end of the side gateUpon assignment, he advised someone will come out shortly to pick it upThe neighbor mentioned that the fence and concrete are not the correct distance from one another and with the recent weather it caused her backyard to floodShe noted that this was the only issue.The initial Salesperson noted what sets them a part from other pool companies is that they have their own internal contractors and do not contract outside of TrademarkHowever when work was delayed, there was discrepancies, it would be blamed on contractors not part of their company?I will not consider the issue resolved until the left over concrete is removed and the minor discrepancy in the fence is cleared.?
