Starr-Lite Pools of Highlands County, Inc.

Starr-Lite Pools was a huge disappointment. The total crew consists of the owner and 2 helpers. They arrived at our home everyday somewhere around 11:00 am and departed between 3:30-4:30 pm. with numerous smoke breaks throughout their 5 hour work day. We also checked Starr-Lite Pools reputation with Blue Hawaiian Pools and they came highly recommended. When you write a check for 35,000$ you would expect quality and detail. Our brand new pool looks like a 10-15 year old fiberglass pool whose deck and coping has been repaired numerous times. It started with pouring of 18 yards of concrete on a 90+ degree day with only 2 men to work it and finish. The concrete pour completely got away from them. Just for an example, the deck is not square because the forms actually let loose during the pour. Now spend WEEKS on end patching, grinding, and repairing this concrete deck disaster. When the screened lanai was erected, the gaps on the deck framing pieces (bottom framing) is unbelievable. We had to have screen placed in these areas to keep bugs out. We have so many areas around the pool that with a good rain, everything that is on the deck drains back into the pool vs. away from the pool. We are looking at having the deck and coping repaired by another contractor to the tune of anywhere from 5-8,000$ depending on what we choose. I could keep going but I think you get the message. If all you want is something to hold water, then Starr-Lite is for you. If you want your dream, a pool oasis, STAY AWAY from Starr-Lite Pools.
