I hired Mike Moore of Daulton Point to build a pool in May 2017. I found out later that he had started work without getting the city permit, lied about city inspections to collect money, which he forced me to pay under his personal name instead of his company name.
He then abandoned my project (30% completed with excavation, forming, steel and plumbing) even though he collected 80% of the cost.
He had collected enough money from me to continue my project, but apparently diverted the funds to pay some of his unrelated debts, which is illegal. He should have kept the money he collected from me in a construction account for just my project.
I have now had a hole in my backyard for 5 months and will need to hire another pool company to finish the work.
It appears he has been writing a lot of hot checks because my neighbors, who also hired him, had lots of unpaid sub-contractors show up and demand to be paid.
He has ignored several letters of demands.

All the details about my ordeal
AUTHOR: Frank - (United States)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 14, 2017
I'm not sure what the fence has to do with anything since it's only required for final inspection.
Here's a detailed timeline of my dealings with Mike:
5/14 I sign a contract with Mike Moore/Daulton Point to build a pool with the following payment schedule:
- x% down
- y% after excavation
- z% on day of gunite
- a% forming decks
- b% pre-plaster
6/6 I give Mike a check (y%) made out to Daulton Point after excavation. He voids it and forces me to write 2 checks to him directly (Mike Moore)
7/10 Mike tells me gunite is coming today and asks me to leave a check made out to him directly again. He says he already paid the gunite company. I leave the check (z%). He says he has ordered the city inspection, required before gunite, and that it passed. I ask him to send me the inspection report. No answer. Gunite company doesn't show up.
7/11 I call the city of Leander and find out that I don't have a permit. The permit request was made a while back but rejected because of missing details. Inspection couldn't have happened. It was a lie to collect the gunite money, and gunite wasn't even delivered.
The city issues a stop work order for Daulton Point
Mike works on getting the permit.
7/23 Before leaving for a trip I tell Mike that after permit is granted (which looks like it's going to around August 1st, since a review process of his company has to be done first) and city inspections are really passed he can shoot the gunite and work on the decking. I told him not to proceed with the plaster until I'm back
8/4 I ask for status and get no answer
8/17 I'm back from my trip and ask for status again. He says the permit is ready and that he's calling in inspections for 8/20. My neigbors catch me up on their nightmare. They had also hired Mike for building a pool and doing additional work. They found out Mike is writing hot checks. Several sub-contractors came asking for money and threaten them with liens on their house.
8/25 After talking to the city of Leander I find out that the permit has not yet been issued and that payment is the only thing missing, since 8/4. He blames his crew for problems and says he will take care of it today and order inspections as well. I tell him to go online and pay for the permit now, that it should take 5 minutes. He doesn't answer and doesn't pay.
8/27 I pay for the permit myself and order the layout inspection
8/30 The city of Leander layout inspection passed. I order the bonding inspection myself
8/31 The city of Leander bonding inspection passed. I tell him that since he had claimed that he already paid the gunite company and collected my check that I expect gunite within a week.
9/7 Mike claims that the gunite company is coming on 9/14. Fearing that Mike did not and would not pay the gunite company money I didn't want them to put a lien on my house, so I request that Mike prove he paid the gunite company in advance.
9/13 I send the gunite company a letter asking them not to show up if they have not been paid in advance and a certified letter to Mike asking for proof a gunite company was paid in advance and have the work done before October 4. Also to provide an audit of the construction account he should have kept for the money he collected from me for my pool project.
10/4 No word from Mike. No proof of gunite payment, and no gunite. No audit of the construction account.
10/10 My lawyer sends a cease and desist letter to Mike

Below is a copy of the permit. As of oct. 22nd we attempted to contact the customer to gunite his pool. This pool has passed all inspections on work done by us. He is responsible for his own fencing inspection which still isn't applied and held everything up. We had our gunite company set to shoot the pool, HE CALLED THEM AND SAID NOT TO COME. AND THIS IS VERIFIED. customer also held up job by going on a month long vacation with details not to do any work. Our attorney is working on this and we cannot comment any further.
