GOT RIPPED OFF!! BE AWARE when selecting Gulf Stream Pools near Cocoa Beach, Florida. Fabian Kristmann the owner at Gulf Stream Pools was hired to perform 2 pools, at 2 different locations for me and was given a deposit for each property, a total of $20k. At the time, they were 9-12 months out before starting the projects and required a deposit upon signing the contract to get in line. Fast forward 9 months later he never started building, digging, or anything at either house, then tried to raise the price on each pool due to materials going up in price ( $8k-$15k on each pool ) in which a contract had already been singed prior with no clauses stating they could do so. At this point, I told him I would like to cancel the contracts and get my deposits back. He proceeded to tell me my deposits were non-refundable and that I needed to pay the additional amount for material price increases to move forward. Again, NO work was performed at either property and he refuses to refund my entire $20k. I would never recommend a company like this with these type of business practices.
