Not just me but many many more are very unhappy with this ripoff artist. He overcharges, he does not return calls or come back to fix a leak he said he found. Several people have checked and his license in Tampa is not good. He has not registered with the State nor does he have a Pinellas, Manatee, or Sarasota license. STAY AWAY, DON'T USE ANY POOL COMPANY THAT USES HIM...ie. BLUE HAVEN POOLS, AFFINITY POOLS, S&R POOLS, COMMERCIAL POOL SERVICE, SAND CASTLE POOLS, SUN PAVERS, PATIO POOLS, ELITE POOL & SPA, CLEAN SWEEP, SUPERIOR POOL PRODUCTS, FANTASTIC POOLS.

Could not edit my original rebuttal.
Wanted to add. Tampa is in Hillsborough county of which I am a registered contractor. In addition I am registered in the City of Tampa as a Building Contractor and Swimming Pool contractor. Call them. Call Pinellas also. I have three major construction jobs going on there this month alone. No complaints in ANY of the cities or counties I work in.
AS for the state license. Go this link -> https://www.myfloridalicense.com/wl11.asp
and search by my name Gregory Garbo or company name Poolside Leisure and you will see we are indeed licensed. We are heavily insured as we do a lot of commerical construction work.
PLEASE POST YOUR INVOICE TO PROVE WE EVEN DID WORK FOR YOU.
You stated we did not fix a leak we found? We offer a sixty day warranty under which we return free of charge to fix any minor leaks. This is clearly explained when you call to schedule. If we have have to cut through concrete or more extensive work is required to properly repair it we leave a detailed description of the leak source and an estimate to fix it. I'm sorry your pool was not built correctly or you had major ground settlement issues. It is not our responsibility to warranty another builders work unless that company has authorized us to do so.

What competitor do you work for?
AUTHOR: Owner - (U.S.A.)

Obviously you must work for a competitior as you slander my company and others I do business with. We do thousands of service calls a year and renovate 100+ pools per year. The health inspectors recommend us in hillsborough and pinellas. I am not registered in manatee or whatever other counties you spewed out as I don't do business there.
Here are my state licenses -> https://www.myfloridalicense.com/wl11.asp?mode=2&search=Name&SID=&brd=&typ=
Several people have been ripped off by us, that's a nice assumption? Where are their reports? Why do I have perfect feedback on the Better Business Bureau?
Endorsed by News Channel Eight?
Why does my company continue to grow in revenue so rapidly while others are going out of business in these tough times?
If you are one of the customers who wanted us to fix a major leak for free or didn't pay their bills then i'm sure you don't like us or our lawyers.
I provide top quality service but do expect to be paid for it.
