Here’s a question from a reader (and by the way, I am always happy to post these things anonymously, as you see)
Off topic, please don’t post directly.
Can you ask your readers for a legitimate pool contractor for a renovation of a pool/patio in Greenwich? I have one quote and feel like I am getting completely fleeced for my zip code. Need some more quotes from legit vendors.
with all due respect, bend over and smile…and get used to it….a fellow 06830 er
I got a Greenwich Hospital magazine today. Why dont they get rid of medical cheif Molenelli and that awfully over paid CEO corvineo ..they haeve a horrible reputation for crappy doctors at that place nand dr molenelli is no exception..
despite the tons of pr that place puts out..they shoudlld have never taken down the old hospital..instead the staff should have better screened their providers.
I once used Tamms in Cos Cob for weekly service after getting bent over by the biggest service co. (Shoreline?) for too many years. Seemed like a decent guy and might be able to send you in a direction if he can’t do anything himself. I only used him for a year, then sold.

a popular pool company that built most of gwich pools since the 70′s got nailed for a kids guts getting sucked out since they failed to put a proper suction gate at bottom of pool. wagner or shoreline.
The child drowned, period. The incident you refer to, also horrible, happened, I think, in Georgia.
Shoreline Pools………totally legit and very good. They are not inexpensive but you won’t get fleeced. You get what you pay for. Good high quality work does not come cheap. LouisVan Leeuwen, Riverside, CT

Really nice people they did not install our pool but I wish they did. They have fixed everything the first pool company did wrong and have been great to work with!!
Before thinking about using Shoreline for anything, read this from Consumer Reports:

I used Shoreline briefly. They were expensive, imperious and rude — and just took their cut and subcontracted the work to someone else. Never again!
Based on my experience and on the terrible accident in which a child drowned because an illegal and dangerously defective pool Shoreline built, stay away.
Shoreline sucks. Pool still leaks.
