A diary of sorts, about moving from England to California. Partly because I looked for something similar when I decided to do this, and thought it might contain interesting lessons learned. Mostly to avoid boring my friends with anecdotes.

congrats you did it - when we finally get our house (could open escrow any day now short-sale)can I ask you some more pool questions.
I will still follow your blog it is such fun hope, you are all enjoying it out here

Almost everyone I know says they would NOT recommend the company that installed their pool. How do you feel about Mr. Carlos pool now that the process is over? Did it cost what they said? Did they come when they said they would? Did they clean up after they were done? Thanks for the review
I'm considering Steve to redo my pool would you recommend him and his company
HI I would love an answer to this- I hear the same thing and am trying to decide between them and blue fountain pools? I also here MR. CArlos pools lost their license?
thanks
Melinda
I don't think they have lost their license: https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=232130
You could ring and ask.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH MR. CARLOS AND ASSOCIATES. THEY ARE very unethical. The president Gary Gunderson is a liar and crook. They are operating under Carlos the owners license #,If anyone comes by to give you an estimate other than Carlos himself, they are committing a crime. Report them to the Cal State Lic Board. Gary Gunderson LIC is suspended!! Go elsewhere

agreed - I see that the company is licensed, similar to other companies licenses. It's not an individual's license.... it's a company's license.
Isn't that all that is needed? I know there is someone on the internet who vehemently hates this guy - but want to here from other people who are fair. The best thing I found was this review:
I just finished my Pool with Mr. Carlos. I was very clear in what I wanted and made sure it was documented on the contract. I had some permit issues but my city is a challenge even for experienced. Overall, I got exactly what I asked for. The quality of one their subs who no longer works with with them needed some work and they addressed that and any other issues I had. Gary took care of it but don't expect to get something for free. You probably picked them because of price and if it is not on the contract it is going to be extra, you need to do your home work. The contract is pretty clear. Overall, I would recommend them.

My impression through research (I am considering hiring is)....
I think you can get a good price w/ this company but you have to be very clear w/ communication up front and although it shouldn't be, it's probably on you to make sure everything is spelled out. But if you and the company are on the same page - it's prob fine. and while you might be the type that wants someone to hold your hand - you get what you pay for. It's good the bad reviews are out there - because you go in cautious and make sure to cross all your t's up front.
