Bret Steele and Steele pools built our pool, water fountains, and spa. We had issues with the pool heater, the spa, and the fountains from Day 1.
We called Bret numerous times and he never responded to our phone calls or messages.
The quality of his work VERY poor and he disappeared after the got paid.
He is not trustworthy, does a terrible job and should NOT be licensed.
