This crook called and called trying to get us to use Texas Pool Installers to do our pool. He promised to complete project in 2 weeks, for a price thousands of dollars below our mid range bid. We stayed away from the lowest bid and did not want just any cheap co to do the job. Nicholas Laroche stated his bid was normally higher but he would lower it for us, in order to get other jobs in the future that we were thinking of doing.
We gave him a 30% deposit -the pool was dug the following day. We asked for a 32x15' pool total cost $30,000.00c the dig began no problems yet. Then Nicholas THE CROOK Laroche showed up the next day and said hole was too big then kicked the sub who dug the hole off the job. He never paid the sub for the dig!
Trouble started - we had not seen this guy for almost a whole week he would answer his phone and say he was working on it! He shows up and askes for money and says we will have a crew here finishing this pool. We then saw him a total of 4 more times -he wouuld drop off a fw teenagers and the tile crew - he would always need another payment for tile/coping the pool equipment, the decking and the gunite, which we paid. We discovered later that he was not paying any of the subs that he had on our job. But we were pay him cash!
We received a letter stating the gunite co. Was putting a lein on our home! When we confronted Nicholas he started yelling and threatening my husband and stated he will finish when he gets ready to. I have a huge concrete filled hole in my yard with no pool equipment (he never paid for it) no plumbing or electric - no plaster and no decking! He took our money and did nothing!
I am warning anyone who comes in contact with this crooked thief to check your pockets and make sure your gold dental fillings dont walk away with him! Teaxas Pool Installers is a sham they are only out to rob hard working honest people!
