Just want to make a post to make people in our community aware of what we have been going through with our pool contractor. We contracted D&D Construction owned and operated by Robert Darnell to put a pool in for us the beginning of 2023. After the pool was put in and we paid our final payment he was never seen again. Upon receiving multiple partial itemized bills and putting them together to compare we realized we had been charged for the same item multiple times. When they put the fence in to cover the pump; they clipped our underground power line to the boat dock which cut all power to the dock. He promised and promised to send someone out for the landscaping that was never done as well as an electrician to fix the power but neither showed up. There was still so much work to be done we had to hire a different contractor 9 months later to finish the work which costed an additional 30k. We then met with our attorney, come to find out he doesn’t even have a contractor license and has done this to so many people. Clearly we should have done our research on him but as a local contractor we thought he could be trusted. You can google his name and find news articles where he has done this in the past to other people. Our attorney told us to enjoy the pool because there is nothing that can be done as nothing he has is in his name and is a pro at this scam.
Claimed loss: 35k
