Sunrise Premiere Pool Builders, LLC
Pool permit still not closed after more than 2 years, and pool partialy in neighbors yard

We used Sunrise premier pool builders to have a pool installed in our yard after conducting interviews with a number of local companies. We picked them as they were the best price but they also had a lot of good written testimonies on the walls of there office. Work started around Aug we were initially told the pool would be finished by the end of the pool season 2005.

In 2006 the pool was still a hole in the ground, there was no cover on the pool so we could not allow our young kids to go out in the rear yard incase they fell in and drowned, Sunrise refused to have the pool cover installed as there was not completed and there was no water in the pool other than rain fill.

In April the plaster was applied and the pool filled, we started to use the pool in the June once the water warmed up, all seemed well.in 2007 our neighbors had some work done on there house which meant they needed to move there drain field. The county came out to do an inspection and noted that the position of our pool was in the neighbors yard and was using 900sq feet of there land. So we investigated this with a surveying company and the county and it turned out to be true, we also found that the permit had never been closed by the pool company and until it was given a certificate of occupancy we should no longer use the pool as it was not deemed safe until that certificate is issued.

We negotiated buying the land from our neighbor, having a survey done, plans redrawn which worked out around $5000 at that time we approached the pool to see if they would give us assistance as they did all the work and we believed they were responsible so should help out with the financial side of fixing the pools incorrect location. They flat out refused and pointed out that on the contract we signed in very small print it states that if the pool is not installed in the correct location then that responsibility to stop the pool being installed in the incorrect location falls to the home owner.

We also approached them about the pool permit not being closed to which they still have not taken the necessary steps to have the permit closed. The county requires the pool decking to be electrically bonded or to use a concrete material which does not require rebar such as fiber mesh. The pool company can not prove it used fiber mesh so the pool still has no certificate of occupancy and still remains open, since 2005.
