"We hired Riverwood Pools to do an in-ground pool and deck renovation and upgrade in the late summer of 2014. After contracting with the company and work had begun, we were informed by the owner, Ted Wyler, that renovations are not as money-making for him as new builds, therefore we were basically a second-rate customer. Along the way there were other small issues (normal with construction and renovations). For the new pool, we utilized some options he did not typically use, but still suggested and sold to us. A few of which created major issues have taken many months to resolve, and one that is still not resolved:
"
1) He installed blue steps (instead of the typical white), but a chemical used on the concrete coping forms damaged/bleached them which resulted in visible "drips." To fix, he drained the pool to the bottom step and re-filled the pool multiple times while he attempted to resolve with various chemicals and sanding. The marks are still faintly visible.
2) We converted the pool to saltwater, but he did not install the salt cell unit we requested. He also suggested and sold us a ladder and railing that were not rated for use in salt-water. As soon as they were placed in the water it voided the warranty. By mid-June almost all the finish had flaked off the ladder. We contacted him for a replacement as soon as the first flake came off (early Summer 2015) and have been given excuse after excuse since.
The last we spoke with him was Spring of this year (when we happened to run into him at lunch in Gallatin). He mentioned getting out of the business, complaining about complications, and gave us the excuse that he needs to get paid on another job in order to pay for and deliver our new railings. He told us he ordered them and they are sitting in the warehouse (which we do not believe). He has yet to return any of our recent attempts to contact him. We have been more than patient with this company and are pursuing dispute resolution.
