This man charged us $400 to look at our hot tub and said we needed a new control board that he would sell us for over $1300 plus at least another $400 to install. We had another tech diagnose the issue as a faulty heater that cost $150 and he replaced it for less than $200. I dont know how he can live with himself knowing that he is purposely bilking people out of so much money. I hope people read these reviews before they hire him to come to their home. I wish I had read the reviews first. We plan on taking him to small claims court to recover our money and call attention to this man being

He requested $400 cash to show up, which would cover his "trip charge" and the first hour of work. No problem, we scheduled an appointment. Called me to let me know he was 20 minutes away. 1.5 hours later still had not arrived. Left him voicemail that I was leaving unless I heard from him in five minutes. He called back 20 minutes later,said he was in my neighborhood, just could not find my house. Gave instructions, he said he'd be there in 2 minutes, I told him I was turning around to come back. Got back to house, not there. Tried calling him 5 times, never answered. Finally

This guy is a crook, a scam artist and knows nothing about hot tubs. Had to kick him out of the house, but of course he got his pre payment. If you are going to throw your money away using this guy, at least give it to charity so it's put to good use.

Total SCAM. Told me over the Phone that price would be $200 to look at then $1200 for nw Pump that was needed. Showed up and demanded $400 cash before he would look at it. I wrote him a check and he Looked at it for 15 min then wrote an estimate for triple what was quoted over the phone $3,600. I asked if this was a scam to get my initial $400 seed money for 15 min of work and he took off leaving my tub broke apart. I thought he was going to get tools but I went to my Driveway and he was gone. Probably to hurry and cash the check or something. He either has a muscular issue or was high on drugs

Karl answered my request on Home Advisor. He was very professional, responded immediately, and was able to diagnose my issue with our 20 year old hot tub within just a few minutes. He brings all parts with him so he can fix the issue immediately. He was straight forward about his prices and was very time sensitive. Thank you, Karl.

Karl came took part my hot tub left and refused to put it back together unless I paid him another $250. He is a scam artist. He lied about coming back to put it back together. He left me waiting for him for hours. I called him the next day and he refused to reassemble it. The guy is a thief. If you hire him you will not get the work done and hell just rip you off. Id give him negative stars if I could. Loser.
