Afford A Pool & Spa

We hired Steven Brown (Afford A Pool & Spa, PA HICPA #082348) to install a fiberglass pool and patio. What should have been a 10–12 week project turned into a grueling six-month ordeal filled with no-shows, blown deadlines, and broken promises.

The work performed was far from acceptable — unsafe electrical wiring, a patio so uneven it’s a tripping hazard, and major yard destruction left behind. Items in our contract were delayed until after we sent a formal demand letter, and some were never delivered at all. He treated our project like a side job, showing up sporadically while chasing other jobs he also couldn’t finish. His own workers walked away because they weren’t being paid.

We were forced to pay out thousands more to other professionals to make the pool safe and functional. This contractor’s lack of integrity, professionalism, and basic follow-through is beyond belief.

If you’re considering hiring Steven Brown, save yourself the financial loss and months of frustration — do not let this man near your property.

The beginner was great
But than checked splints to meet and continue their work kept being no shows by Steve & his crew

He charges for one thing but gives you the cheaper Certainly Not what we were shown or charged

Grotto & jump rock
Grotto is way smaller
And not made properly in fact the had to put a two by two in the ledge seat of the pool to hold the mess up even tbe plumbing shows.

This project was started in June of 2024 promised work to be completed in six weeks as of April 22 2025
The grotto is still sitting unusable
The lights in poop do not work

Electric ran most does not work an is against code
We have plenty of photos , emails with scheduled appointments no shows no courtesy call nothing

Now he does not want get this concrete mess they call a grotto out of here and wants to cheat us out of money we were charged for it

Given a robot out of box no cord no power nothing it is a much older model
Which being a 2024 pool
Built it she be an up to date robot

The list continues to go on
