So good support. **★ — Matt Howland, July 2017** > I hired TMP to install a deep end vinyl liner pool based on their representations and website that they had completed many, the owner was onsite throughout the project and they did not use subcontractors. None of their representations were true. Subcontractor who showed up did not have the proper experience and there was no owner or TMP rep supervising. LUCKILY I had the mind to fire them after only 3 weeks and a disaster of a hole and a mountain of dirt in my front yard. They ended up suing me for breach of contract and WON. Judge sided that I had not given them enough opportunity to fix the issues. Also noted that representation on website and spoken do not matter because of his contract. I would NOT recommend anyone sign his contract, one sided. If you are looking to hire them seek out how many lawsuits this guy/ company has in our area and be CAREFUL. I am thankful that I did fire him in time to complete the pool myself because it is beautiful and everything I wanted. I have no doubt that it would have never been the case if I continued with TMP. Company getting 1/2 start only because it does not allow me to go lower. ## Selected projects - [Buddha](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/buddha-pj-vj~181531) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Circle Eight](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/circle-eight-pj-vj~181497) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Lap pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lap-pool-pj-vj~181492) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Commercial/Student Housing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/commercial-student-housing-pj-vj~180544) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Minimum Space/Maximum Impact](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minimum-space-maximum-impact-pj-vj~180480) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/swimming-pool-builders/taylor-made-pools-pfvwus-pf~939707799) ## Ideabooks - [smtaylor007's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5455367/list/smtaylor007-s-ideas) — 4 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/smtaylor007) ## Community Q&A **Q: Kitchen backsplash** *(in Design Dilemma)* As you can see in my photos (sorry a bit dark) I have a peculiar layout in terms of where my counter and window intersect. We are installing backsplash and my question is where to end the backsplash tile? It currently ends at the left edge of the window. 1\. We could stop there, install wood trim under the window, caulk where the counter meets the wall and call it a day. Other options are.... 2\. Carry the backsplash to the right edge of the peninsula counter ending in an odd place under the window. 3\. Carry the tile all the way over to the far right wall so that it will mirror the left side of the window. This option would include completely tiling the wall under the window between the peninsula and desk cabinetry to the right. Please help! We know this is a peculiar install as I could find NOTHING similar on the web or this site...haha.. leave it to me to be so different but I know it will be beautiful when it's done! Thanks for your help :) A: I do the tile design work for the our pool company. If it were me, I would continue the tile across and below the window (to the floor) and finish at the right edge of the desk. It would keep it all part of the kitchen since visually they seem quite close to each other. Taylored Interiors --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-11.*
