Horrible. Brian came out and said old pump was shot and needed to be replaced. However he could not commit to a time to complete the work. The pool was turning into a mosquito swamp, so I hired someone else, even though this work was covered by my Home Warranty and Brian was the insurer's contractor. So I ended up paying $750 for a better pump including installation from a contractor the insurance company would not pay for. Brian then came out one day and replaced the BRAND NEW PUMP with a cheaper version. I screamed and he came back and returned the BRAND NEW PUMP he had taken out. How he did not realize he was replacing a brand new pump, I do not know. Then he KEPT the pump the insurance company paid for, which doesn't belong to him, even after I asked him to leave the pump and I would sell it to offset what I had just paid the other contractor. To me, that was completely unprofessional and unlawful, and I am considering suing him to recover the value of the pump he took.
Description of Work: Improperly replaced pool filter pump.

Response from SUNBURN POOL & SPA EQUIPMENT SERVICE
As a contractor for First American I responded to the member's request for service & found his pump needed replacing. I ordered a Pentair Superflo pump, an excellent piece of equipment but was unable to guarantee it would be delivered to me & installed before his planned July 4th party. The member became impatient; he elected to go outside his service coverage & bought a new pump himself. He didn't bother to call me or First American to cancel the service request. Despite 2 weeks of torrential rains in Texas, on June 30th, during a rain storm I installed his new pump. I learned later that the member had already replaced the pump so I returned & changed out the pump again; reinstalling the pump he had paid for. The member requested that I leave the pump that First American had furnished & since the pump belonged to First American I informed First American of his request & they told me the pump didn't belong to the member & I was to return it to the supplier for a credit to their account since he decided to use another servicer outside of his coverage, which I did. The member's false accusation of me unlawfully keeping the pump is untrue & he may be leaving himself open to legal action. This all could have been prevented with 1 phone call from the member informing either me or First American that he was canceling the service request. The pump the member purchased on his own never left his premises.

Mr. McIntosh arrived on time and was extremely polite. The job turned out to be a little more complicated than it should have been due to some other plumbers somewhat strange piping work done a couple of decades ago. He showed me exactly what he had to do and answered all my questions. He even gave me a little tutorial on my pool equipment that I appreciated very much.
Description of Work: Replaced a Jandy filter and piping on our pool equipment. We supplied the filter; he provided the schedule 40 pipe and fittings.
