We contracted a reputable pool builder outside Philadelphia to renovate our pool. The same company who we contracted with to renovate the pool also built the pool. Once the renovation was complete we noticed discoloration in the plaster. They told us it would cure over the winter, but it was worse when we opened the pool in the spring. The company sent out a plaster expert who concluded the water chemicals caused the discoloration and therefore it was our fault to resolve.

Will our balance/lien be paid by new ownership? Language in "notice of potential bidders" states buyer "is or may be responsible for paying off all liens", why is the language "may be"? In what cases would they not have to pay the liens against the property?...Read More

Good Morning. I own a plumbing company in CA. We have been in business since 91'. We have been going through some major growth recently. I am currently bidding a project that cost wise, is much larger then we have ever done. In the contract payment terms, would it be normal for us to ask for 15% down from the GD as a initial deposit to get this project off the ground?...Read More
