Island Recreational
July 19, 2006
I purchased a pool from Island Recreational, 61 E. Sunrise Highway, and Lindenhurst, NY 11757. They required a $100 deposit to hold the price which I have paid by check and they also required you to join their VIP Shoppers Club Agreement for $100 which is applied to this VIP 'club' which was paid by MC. Also on April 5, I was required to pay the pool in full in the amount of $4720.78 which I paid with my MC. This price including their 'White Glove Installation' which is a 3rd party company they use to install and weekly... read full review »

Bruce Hardwood Flooring
July 19, 2006
In July 1998, we purchased Bruce Traffic Zone Laminate flooring (in a light Maple color) for our kitchen/dining room. Last October (2002) we noticed that the flooring was turning green where the sun shown on it. We had kept a box from the flooring along with our receipt that showed that there is a fifteen (15) year warranty on all residential installations. Usually the store where the flooring was purchased would take care of any warranty issues. In our case the store that we had purchased the flooring from had gone out of business. We had to... read full review »

Alliance Home Warranty
July 19, 2006
I contacted Alliance Home Warranty on Tuesday, June 27 to arrange for service of a stovetop that was not working properly. A repair person contacted me and arrived the following morning. He came in and asked if I had been told that they (his company?) didn't usually work on stovetops but he proceeded to check my stove's burners. I explained that the burners sometime ignited and often did not. After a two-minute look at the situation (much in the cursory way that an inexperience person would examine it) he concluded that we needed to replace... read full review »

Fairview Furniture
July 18, 2006
We are what you can consider loyal customers to this store, we bought many different items from this store or one of the stores owned by the same guy. We spent many thousand dollars there since he is almost the only store in town selling furniture. One fateful day we needed a new mattress, of course we went to his store to buy it. There we found the Avalon Pillow Top by Golden Mattress Company. When we got this mattress home it smelled really bad. Off-gassing they call that. So we had it sitting out for 2 days without sleeping on... read full review »

Easy Life Furniture
July 18, 2006
We purchased a couch from Easy Life Furniture (www.easylifefurniture.com). The buying experience was pleasant enough, but when it came time for them to deliver the couch, we had a horrific experience with them. Firstly, they tried to jam the couch into the elevator and when it didn't fit they became angry and tried to force me to sign a waiver of liability so if they damaged the couch, I was liable for it. After I refused to do this, they became even more belligerent. I refused delivery of the couch, since they would only bring... read full review »

SPRING AIR MATTRESS
Aaron S April 4, 2011
Purchased a queen size mattress from Spring Air's "Luxuriance Collection" from the Brick Mattress store in 2007 for around $1500 CAD. 3 years later, it is a complete and utter piece of garbage. Sagging so bad on either side that you practically roll off. A nice hump in the middle. I have had futon mattresses that were more comfortable and lasted longer for less than a third of the price. read full review »

We purchased 12 Queen Anne style Anlin windows from Jack at American Vision Windows. When the windows were installed six of them were wrong. They open the wrong way. Maurice Brockenborough came out to see the windows and said, "If you walk around the out side of the house they do open correctly." He said he would call us back. He never did. We called Jack. Jack said he would stop by on 07/01/11. He never did. They refuse to replace the defective windows and they refuse to refund our money so we can have a different company replace... read full review »

We purchased a Lane sofa leather covered recliner Summer of 2009. We immediately had problems. The underlying material on the sofa began to 'bunch up' on one side of the sofa. We called our dealer who called Lane to get the problem resolved. Lane refused to do anything until we wrote a letter to the credit company stating we were not going to pay for the sofa until the problem was resolved. Once the credit company told the dealer monies would be withheld, the dealer contacted Lane. Lane then supplied a replacment cushion. The dealer... read full review »

Maryland Pools
ChrisGee60 May 16, 2011
We've had our pool 6 years and the tile started falling off. When we called Maryland Pools to remedy the problem they say we now have to replace all of the tile and pool coping. In doing some research I learned that this problem occurs when best practices are not followed when constructing the pool. Maryland Pools says it will cost almost $9000 to remedy a problem caused by their poor workmanship. When I questioned them they said it is commonplace to have to do this. Sorry, but they didn't put that in the brochure and most other pool... read full review »

So I was wondering if anyone else was having an issue with the gas company after they came for their government mandated inspection. They came for mine and demanded that I would have to pay them to move my meter since a porch was built over my gas line. A. Bought the house porch was there B. Permit were opened and closed for porch meaning city officials deemed the porch ok.

Marvin Windows

The salesman told us our windows were eligible for the 30% tax credit only to find out after our order was placed with 50% down that they were not. No apologies or anything. Many of our existing Marvin windows need service and after three calls and inspections I just gave up. The product maybe be acceptable to some folks, but the service for me is horrible. read full review »

Do Not hire www.linwoodkitchenscorp.com Phil Mauriello & Linwood Kitchens. They took my money & walked off the job. Phil promised a 4 week turnaround on my kitchen renovation, but 5 months of one disaster after another, and my kitchen is still incomplete.

We had done loads of homework prior to our purchase and were convinced that this was the pair that would meet our needs. Over the past several years we have had service calls for both the washer and dryer.

The salesman was friendly and courteous and we believe we got the best value for our money. We had a service rep come out once in the first year to make a minor adjustment and have had no problems since. I think that some of the negative comments toward... read full review »

We purchased the deluxe solar cover reel system. It has been pain in the butt ever since we've tried to use it. The handle keep falling apart from the wheel. The wheel bearings then come apart, too. When we try to pull the cover overthe pool, it falls off the holders and rolls away somtimes into the pool. Also, the middle sags so low when the cover is all the way on that it drags on the ground. The worst part is that Doheny's would not let us return it or refund us. In fact, they offered NO compensation. We have taken a 200 dollar loss. TERRIBLE customer service.

I purchased a 15'X48" Round Metal frame above ground pool. The filter pump included in the package is the Krystal Clear Model 637R filter pump. This pump is only capable of filtering 1, ooo gal. per hour. It does not filter the proper amount in order to filter the water in the 4, 440 gal. pool. I have discussed this with several Professional Pool Companies and they all agree the GPH should be no less than 2500 gals. per hour. I called Intex, and was told point blank that the pump was fine. On their web site, they offer the correct (replacement) pump; Intex 633 Small Pump UPGRADE PACKAGE!! I have to purchase ! read full review »
