Good afternoon, I have spoke to the complainant and we have an agreement to settle this complaint. I agree with the Loberg Avery invoice with the exceptions of there were no wires on this job. The pool was built in a

concrete box. No wires needed. They did not pull from the house so the pool baja step required so we had to be floated out it was 6” off in 5 ft. I will back charge them 400.00 for this mistake. There was no strip and finish at all on this job. Nothing to strip and finish!

Loberg / Avery job

Bill total $10724.56

Wires not used -500.00

Strip and finish, there was none - 400.00

Washout I have never been -25.00

charged for washout on their pump

short load fees are not right as

the mixers were backing up the

hill so the short loads didn’t happen -924.56

baja back charge -400.00

total payout $8475.00

Loberg Rosen flash job

Bill total $ 3525.00

Total payout $ 0.00

I disagree with this bill completely. It took four trips to get this pool shot. Two pull offs The crew leader Victor was combative the four times they came out and he actually went toe to toe with me before backing down. Nuwaves had to pull a young man on the crew off the job after several heated discussions. I still don’t know why he wanted to fight. We finally started shooting the pool on the third try, I was there all day. I left at the end of the job and shot the pool and spa but not the basin. They came back after a couple of days to do the basin. I discussed with the crew leader Victor about doing a strip and finish the back of the basin wall to straighten it up as the forms were bad and it needed to be done. I even brought a ladder for him so it would be easier to pull the forms. After the flash the wall was and still not verticle and wavy after they tried to correct with a flash . The general contractor is still not happy with basin wall. He hasn’t back charged me yet and hopefully he doesn’tThis strip and finish should have been done the second day they were shooting the neg edge basin. It would have been easy at that point. Washout is 35.00 on this bill not 25.00 like on the others

Victor the crew leader is a miserable person. I have never said a cross word to him and it is very difficult to get him follow directions. Which he usually doesn’t.

Bill total $20,246.38

Again the short loads don’t apply

as they were backing up the hill again -$1296.38

bill total $18, 950.

I truly regret that I am in in this position I cant do but so much in this current business climate as everything new has been stopped for a long time

I will pay Nuwaves 3000.00 per month if not more with no prepayment penalty. Hopefully things pick up !!

On this the total would be $18950.00 + $8,475.00 = $27425.00
