Larco Pools

Contracted this sorry company to build our pool. As far as the "Pool Perfection Every time" that's BS and a straight up lie! We are disappointed by this company. In my opinion, this is a supposedly veteran-owned company, yet the owner is dishonest (always talking about God BS), and he is stealing from customers, misleading, and deceptive. He refused to correct issues with the pool such ass leaking/ warped water bowls that he installed, crooked and chipped tiles installed by his subcontractor, a discolored blotchy pool coating that was installed and has no warranty which breached contract, he changed contractors so he could pocket half of the cost of my screen enclosure which resulted in a lien on my home that has not been resolved and removed, shingles were never installed on my extended patio roof, his contractors broke my curbing and got pool coating on my vehicle's windshield and grill, and did not pay the screen enclosure company, although he was paid by me.
Exceptionally poor workmanship by him and some of his subcontractors. If you go under contract with this company, your pool build will take a long time (mine took 15 months). This dishonest company is full of lies, employs stalling tactics, and will do minimal work when they do arrive at your residence. In my opinion and experience, you will pay a premium price for poor customer service, communication, and work. The owner is full of excuses/ lies and refuses to be accountable for his actions, he will manipulate Google reviews and report negative ones to deceive customers. Use at your own risk.

If you are going to invest in a pool build, here are some lessons learned from this incident: ensure that you research the pool company and the owner's name that you plan to use. Take time to look them up on the BBB where reviews cannot be deleted or reported, and do not only trust Google. Check the county clerk's website, Google specifically for current or past lawsuits/ bankruptcy records of the pool companies you are thinking of using to avoid potential future headaches or being taken advantage of, as I was in my situation. I would not recommend this company after my experience with them. In my opinion that I have shared, this company uses deceptive business tactics, unethical, and immoral methods against customers. As a Combat Veteran this veteran is a disgrace to the veteran population, his conduct is unbecoming of what Veterans stand for and the values ingrained in us and what we represent.
