Testimonial #4
I am a former swimming pool owner. My family had a many pleasant hours in and around the pool when we, and the pool, were younger but time took its toll on both the family and the pool. as for the family, the children grew up and left home, I got a bit older and arthritic and my wife got to the point where she wouldn't think of going into the pool unless the water temperature was a minimum of 86 degrees farenheit—the gas bill was ridiculous—not to mention the guilt I bore for wasting a precious commodity in these environmentally sensitive times.
Fortunately, for my pocket book and the environment, the pool heater sprung a major leak two years ago, so I decided to scrap it and not buy another. That 'sealed the deal' for my wife not to swim. I continued to have a dip occasionally but probably only 5 or 6 times a season. The spring of 2010 brought yet another surprise. For some reason or other the pump would not provide enough suction to vacuum the pool, so I was in the throes of a dilemma, pay to repair it or have the pool "filled in."—the actual term is demolished because there is far more to it than just dumping fill into it— I chose to demolish it and this presented me with dilemma number two. How to find someone to trust to do the job right and at a fair price.
I searched the internet for some local contractors and talked to a friend who had a bad experience having his pool filled in then the owner of my local pool supply store recommended I contact Bearcat Pool Demolition. I called them and was impressed with how quickly they responded and provided me with an estimate that was within my budget. After working out some of the finer details of exactly how I wanted the job done I gave Bearcat the go-ahead and the rest as they say is history.
The job was completed in a most professional manner and Brian and his crew worked tirelessly and diligently even through the an early September heat wave. Access to the back yard is limited so all of the fill had to be wheelbarrowed in by hand, and believe me, that's a lot of soil to cart in manually. Brian and the crew were totally dedicated to stick with it until the job was finished, kudos to them all. Brian had all of the latest tools and techniques available to make an arduous task less daunting. I was particularly impressed by the way Brian returned after the job was finished to quickly address and solve a small issue that I raised.
I can unequivocally recommend Bearcat Pool Demolition if you have decided to "demolish" your pool.
