American Craftsmen Pool
September 26, 2008
I own two homes; both with in ground pools. In 2006 both pools turned green and no matter what American Craftsmen did, they could not clear the water. I ended up closing the pools early. In 2007 I changed companies and both pools cleared right up. My new company showed me where American Craftsmen had never performed the maintenance services I paid them for. American Craftsmen hadn't cleaned or installed items properly. It took me almost 2 years to settle this issue with American Craftsmen. I actually had to take the company to court... read full review »

Island Pools

I've seen numerous, negative reports on the Internet regarding this company and I'm finally adding mine to the list. Believe it or not, the following is a brief summary of my complaint (if I included everything that happened, it would be too long to read). 1)The Salesman promised they would install the fiberglass pool and breaking through the rock in my yard would NOT be an added cost. They later told me it would cost extra, but retreated when I told them what the Salesman had promised (numerous arguments back-n-forth w/them to... read full review »

Sears Service Contract
September 25, 2008
I have a service contract with Sears for my Amana 22 u ft. Fridge. It was not cooling. I called Sears and they sent out a technician after a week. He said the heat exchanger needed cleaning and was surprised that Sears had not cleaned this during their annual maintenance visit. He said it would now cool better. It never did. I then discovered after a week that the ice maker was frozen solid and the rest of the fridge was warmer than usual. I called Sears and they sent another technician in a couple of days who said that the gas had leaked out... read full review »

Lane Furniture
September 24, 2008
A few years ago my wife and I spent our tax refund on two recliners from Globe Furniture in Lagrande, Oregon. My wife purchased a Lazy Boy and I purchased a Lane. She tried to talk me into a Lazy Boy because we had previously owned a Lazy Boy handed down to us from some friends, that chair was 20 years old. I wanted the Lane because it was big and fluffy. 6 months after this purchase the Lane’s back broke as well as the rocker. The furniture company (Globe) fixed it and a month later the repairs failed.

I requested a quote from Blatt Billiards to install my snooker table. A service technician saw the table, and took the pockets, rails and cloth to work up the final quote. Before I received the quote, they charged my credit card. Upon review of the quote, it was too expensive. I contacted Blatt on Monday to let them know I am not going with their quote as it was too expensive. They said they had already completed the repair work on the pockets. They send me another invoice for $950. They will not return my rails, pockets and cloth unless I pay the new invoice. read full review »

Procraft Midatlantic, Liquid Siding of Maryland LLC
September 23, 2008
I had my historic home painted in Jan. of 06 by Procraft Midatlantic. It cost me $17, 850.00. The job was warranted for 25 years against cracking, fading, chipping or mildewing. Less than 2 years later, I have chips, cracks, rusty nailheads and some of the caulk had fallen out. I have been calling the company (now Liquid Siding of Maryland, LLC) since March of 08 trying to get someone out here to fix the problems. All I get is promises of return calls, but they never come. All I am really getting is a huge run around. The next step will be to sue for the entire amount I paid them so I can then pay a REPUTABLE company to fix the mess they made. read full review »

Sears/Kenmore Elite Oasis Washer
September 22, 2008
I purchased a Kenmore Elite Oasis washer and dryer in July 2007. My washer was beeping the other day and it would not work. Sears sends a repair guy who spent 2 hours installing a sensor and another part. THen he spent 1/2 hour in his truck in my driveway (all the while I am missing hours at work). He then told me it was the motor that needed replaced and my total bill at this point is $621. My washer is only 14 months old! This is ridiculous! I hope Sears does a recall on this washer as it is not a good product. I paid over $2, 000 for the washer dryer combo and tower to go in between them. What is my next step? read full review »
