I signed a contract for a pool and the end of July. I live in S.Fla, I have always wanted one, and being home pushed me over the edge. I researched companies, got plenty of quotes, BBB reviews, etc., and signed. I knew to allow some leeway in the timeline for county/covid delays, but figured, hey, it's a simple pool, maybe it'll be done by Christmas?
Hahaha...nope. Paperwork/permitting/weather and they didn't start excavation until thanksgiving. But since then it's been stops and starts, and a few unforced errors, with days, sometimes weeks between progress.
Currently I have a mostly finished pool, (poured and tiled, coping in, plumbing and basic electric done, no pump, no decking). I'm sure it will be done eventually, and it looks like I imagined, but I'd put my money on April vs. March, and even then I would not be surprised if it's May.
So, anyway, venting aside, besides calling and emailing for updates.. what can I do here? Are there any levers I can pull?
