Pool Liner

[saddlemount]

Hi Gang!

We're having a tough time in Owings, MD these days. While we continue waiting for an Asphalt contractor to actually return a call, we're equally vexed trying to get our pool liner replaced. We've contracted with A1 Pool Care in Solomons and they've been just awful to deal with. We signed a contract and wrote a deposit in late April. The kids are almost out of school now and.. no pool liner. They don't answer the phone when we call the store, and don't return repeated messages. We went down and visited them last Saturday and the lady said she'd have the owner call me. Yea right.. no call. She couldn't even tell us if the lining had actually been ordered, what the holdup was, etc.

So we'll be canceling the contract and going to small claims court and the Better Business Bureau if necessary. Gee, such fun.

Does anyone know of a reputable firm that does pool liners? It's a regular round above ground pool, 24' by 4'.

I can tell you from our personal experience that Stephenson Pool's is not all that great either.

Why not just order one from a catalog and put in in yourself? Once you undo the top rails and and loosen the supports you'll just need a few extra hands to get it lined up to fill.

Thanks Frozenpl & everyone! Yea, I was also thinking of trying it myself. The A1 people "claim" that the lining we can get thru the Internet isn't as good a quality as they get.. assuming, of course, they ever actually get one.

Like everyone else in SOMD these days, we're in up to our eyballs with graduations, weddings, parties, yardword, etc. so I'd rather just pay someone to take care of it. Jeez, can y'all believe it's June already?? Ugh.

April is very helpful, but dont believe they do liners, had to have mine replaced maybe 3 years ago, after 17yrs, believe A-1 is one of the people she may have refered me too.

I ended up having D&B Pools in Charlotte Hall (behind Rita's) replace mine, did nice job, dont know if they may go as far as Owings.
