Arias T Pools & Spas

If searching for a contractor to build your pool, please do not hire this company. I read the review listed above and thought it was an isolated incident. Mr. Eddy Arias presented himself as a professional who gave us a decent quote. We got 5 quotes and Mr. Arias was second economical from the quotes we gathered. We decided to go with him because he presented himself very professional and had a good vision to what we wanted to build. He asked us for a deposit and the work began. Once the hole for the pool had been made and more than half of the money was given to him, we began to have problems. He stopped showing up consistently for the project. And when he would show up, he would ask us for more money. We have given this man about 90% of what is owed. It has been more than 2 mths since he started, and he is still not done. He missed his 5 week deadline. In the last 4 weeks he has shown up once a week with only 1 employee coming to the home to do something – and this ‘something’ is very minimal such as picking up dirt. There has been little advancement in this past mth. He has since asked for more money which I have refused to give to him for fear that he will not complete the project. He began telling people that recommended him to me that he has not finished because I refuse to pay him when the reality is, I owe him less than 10% of the total. Through conversation Mr. Arias slipped up and mentioned he uses money from 1 project to finish another and runs a sort pf a pyramid with payments and projects. Equipment that I have paid for has not been released to me. Probably because he used the money I gave him for another project. He cotinine's to work on projects that will give him a bigger payout at the end of the week and neglect finishing projects that will not pay him at the end of the week because he according to Mr. Arias he needs to pay his employees. I am being forced to sue this man as he no longer answers my calls & does not show up to my home to work. I have also learned that I am not the only person in this situation with Mr. Arias. There are other people with almost finished projects that he is not tending to. Our pools are full of water and there is no pump to filtrate this water. I have contacted other contractors that took out permits with Mr. Arias to give them the opportunity to finish my project and be excluded from the suit – these contractors have told me Mr. Arias has made no reference to them to finish my project. He has not even attempted to reach out to them. It was then I knew he had no intention of finishing my project. He is the worst, most dishonest, lying contractor I have ever come across. BEWARE WITH HIS MAN. HIS NAME IS EDY ARIAS. Your dream project of a pool will become a nightmare if you hire this man.
