I paid them in full all money and they did not complete the job of installing my pool. They have never came back to finish what they've started despite numerous phone calls and letters sent to their office. They refuse to answer any phone calls. I wish I didn't pay them when I signed the contract.

If you decide to go with this company, insist on paying after they finish their job or better yet stay away from Castaway Pools and Spas.

NEVER FINISHED MY POOL------ BUT TOOK THE MONEY AND RAN!!!

BEWARE HE OPERATES UNDER DIFFERENT NAMES!!!

John from Castaway Pools and Spas signed a contract to replace our pool and return the property in the same condition it was in prior to replacement on September 22, 2006. He said it would take TEN DAYS. During removal of the old pool they damaged my trees, broke my gas & sewer lines, ripped up my sprinkler lines, destroyed my yard and broke my driveway in 3 places. I will have to say they did install the new pool- That was it!!! They never returned to finish the work!!! Repeated promises of completing the contracted work and repairing the damages to my property were nothing but pure LIES...

In the Spring 2007 We finally paid to have the pool finished, plumbing repaired, and yard repaired in at the cost of over $10, 000. This was addtional money over what we had paid him to do the same work-


He lies with a smile on his face and makes you think he is a "nice guy" to get your trust, then he takes your money and RUNS to the next waiting victim.

My pool replacement was covered by my insurance and maybe they will let their lawyers put this 2 faced crooked tooth freak behind bars. He just ignores letters I've sent and consumer affairs says he is not even registered in NJ and they are working on it!!! If the rest of these Victims on complaintsboard.com are correct then he has a criminal record of doing the same thing under different company names for YEARS...

What needs to happen is we should all get together, take him outback and teach him some respect for other people.

MY email is : [email protected] if anybody has ideas on how to deal with this scumbag.

All - I also got screwed by Castaway and their concrete subcontractor. Please email me, I want to organize us. Get every one's name and numbers. See if you filed a complaint and/or lawsuit. I signed a contract with Castaway back on Aug. '06. I filed complaints - the AG office is not producing any results. Filed a suit on my own in in Sept. '07. But, I think if we get organized, we may be able to accomplish something.

I had a leak to in my shallow end returns. Fortunately Franco and his team came out and fixed the leak and did some grading I guess to prepare for the concrete. I almost had a heart attack when Castaway showed up in front of my house. Looks like Dave is helping to get things done. Lets keep our fingers crossed. I've only been waiting since May.

Castaway Pools and Spas installed a pool at my home on 4/5/07. They have never came back to finish the job despite numerous phone calls and letters sent to their office. Their salesman john refuses to answer any phone calls. I would advise anyone in the tristate area to be aware of this company. If this company is hired to install a pool at your home read the contract and beware that the are not responsible for any damage to your home or property. Do not under any circumstances make a payment until they are completely done. They seem friendly but are that lie and deceive the public.
