Never give them 75% and if they ask don't even consider using them. Too late now but any pool builder asking for that much during any scheduled completion period is a crook in my opinion. I don't trust any pool builder and its a disgrace there is ZERO regulation in Texas. No licensing required and anyone can be a pool builder. Good luck. I'd be hunting him down ASAP.

For the electrical inspection to pass I need to do OMN testing. ANy one know what is OMN Testing??

Can any one suggest a Pool Builder who can take over the project after gunite and complete it? I live in Irving, Texas

If I were you, I would post the name of the pool builder here who will not respond you to now. Maybe someone else knows something about them. At the least, you can help others who might be considering using him.

Why is there an inspection required, is it the city or homeowners association? I recently moved from The Woodlands where they required inspections but where I live now I don't think they are required.

Any progress on your situation? It's really a shame that as many pools that are built in Texas there is zero regulation. I just don't get it but it doesn't surprise me in many ways. Anyone can be a pool builder and they can take your money and run, happens all the time. They also like to file for bankruptcy and start up in a few weeks under a different name. We had friends that had the same thing happen to them They had a hard time finding someone to finish it but they eventually did find a another builder. Most wanted no part due to the legal issues and previous unknown work. They never got their money back, guy filed for bankruptcy and got away with it.
