Do not deal with this company - they are unethical & the owner is a professional Con artist! He is going by Eddie Karr but his full name is Edward Farrid Karram. Everything started off great with a work deadline of 120 working days. We started Mid-June 2021 and a month later we were halfway through. The project went downhill Mid July. On 7/15/21 the tile work started - making the invoice come due per the contract, then nobody else showed up for another 2 ½ weeks - and this was only after I followed up with Management. (this I noticed was common practice - starting a phase making the invoice come due per the contract and then going MIA) Once the tile was started it was another month before the next part of the project was started (Decking)- After that the project sat untouched for another 2 months until the Plaster phase was started. In the meantime - Any attempted communication was ignored. In December (6 months after start day) Out of frustration I posted a review showing how the project was left and the next day I received an angry call by a “Project Manager” that I had never heard of nor met, asking why I posted a review without calling him first. I tried to explain I had emailed and called the business several times and never heard back he kept on saying he didn’t call to “argue” and demanded the review taken down if I wanted any work to continue. I took down the initial review only after talking to the owner and him saying they would wrap up the project the next week. Now two months later still not done! In the meantime, we realized none of the inspections were done and now I’m having to chase down an engineer letter. Which has been “secured” for the past month, but Eddie can neither tell me when the inspection was done nor who the Engineer was. The sod was A. not complete and B. the worst work I think I’ve ever seen (grading was done a month before some of the sod was laid), the gate on my fence was put back up but was done incorrectly so the gate will no longer latch, they cracked my driveway, left huge indentions on my front lawn from their trucks and clean up work was never done. We will have to hire other people to finish/fix the horrible job they did on our project. There are other small items that never got done per our contract. To finish up this nightmare he has now resorted to posting fake reviews on our family’s business. This company has ruined what was supposed to be such a fun addition to our home and has made it into a nightmare!

Desired outcome: I'm writing this in hopes it saves other families from falling victim to this man.

To this day Oct 6, 2023 OUR PROJECT IS NOT DONE!

On a “Mandatory” zoom call requested by Eddie Karr on Sept 9, 2023 as he was representing Bellareed Luxury Pools (according to the Secretary of State records he is NO LONGER listed as the registered owner. Jason Black is recorded via online as the registered owner) we were promised our project would be completed. He was also adamant and said very confidently that Bellareed WOULD NOT REPLACE OUR ENTIRE FENCE. NOR WOULD THEY DO ANY DEMOLITION/CORRECTIONS ON THE UNEVEN STEPS LEADING INTO OUR POOL AND POOL LEDGE!

Of course that was another falsehood. This guy talks a good game to try to put you off in believing they will FINALLY follow up with your project IF YOU REMOVE YOUR HONEST REVIEWS ONLINE.

One year and 3 months of lies, fraud, inconsistency, deliberate abandonment, blackmail, horrible customer service, sub par work and $169,500.00 later. We are still fighting this company!

Well. We are 1YEAR, 1 MONTH and 5 days into our project. Per a phone chat this week. We should see some progress on the completion of our project by September 2023 with ALL corrections done to include the fence that was installed that is now warping like plastic. However, I HAVE NOT heard any mention of the in pool steps nor ledge being corrected with the completion on our project. The pool is filled with water. I would like to add that they have started the correction of “painting” my retaining wall that will include my steps since they arbitrarily decided to install grey versus a color complimentary to the decking. Which we are required to maintain. Whatever it takes to get the PAID project finished. I want to give a god sent thanks to Roma at Bellareed for her professionalism, hard work and tenacity in communicating with us and showing she works hard. IF….. only our time and money had been spent dealing with her the whole time…. MAYBE it would have made a difference. However, I simply don’t think she could move the mountains of running this company as it advertises because it’s not up to her. Let us PRAY that someday, the owner/operator will conduct business with a professional and true intent of the heart versus momentary greed and lack of moral compass. 💕

Oh my God! This sounds so similar to what I am experiencing RIGHT NOW! 9 months in and from the verbiage to the actions of the company is almost identical. I think it’s time we pull the plug and sever ties with this company. HOWEVER. I can’t allow them to get away without punishment. I can’t believe what I am reading right now. God help us. 💕
