Bellareed Luxury Pools

This company doesn’t pay their subs so you’ll have liens on your property. They are not responsive or just lie. We have been trying to get them to address an abandon job site and a lien on our house from last May and I have heard more times then I can count that they are “waiting hear back from accounting” … it’s November … and they still haven’t heard anything. Also if anyone knows or can recommend a pool company out there that finishes / fixes Bellareed projects please post.

We hired Bellareed to work on one of our projects in late 2022. They completed the work in a somewhat timely manner, the execution was not perfect, but it was good enough to pay them and move on. Jan 2023, we received a notice from their supplier that they have not been paid, so there is a lien on our client's property. I've been trying unsuccessfully for over three weeks to get in touch with the accounting department and the owners to resolve this. I've been in touch with their supplier, and Bellareed has not attempted to satisfy this past-due debt to date. They were fairly agressive about getting a deposit and paid as soon as the work was completed. They have not been as agressive in satisfying this past-due debt. There are not many ways to protect yourself in GA since pool contractors are not required to have a contractor's license. I did speak to a construction attorney, and he mentioned that homeowners would be protected if they filed a “Notice of Commencement.” From: https://consumered.georgia.gov/ “…for you to ensure that everyone is paid who contributes labor and materials to improve your property, you must first know who these people are. To find out, you or your contractor can file a Notice of Commencement in the county real estate records. Anyone who is supplying material or labor to your home will then need to send you a notice to this effect, or else lose their lien rights.” I am not making an endorsement nor telling you to avoid working with Bellareed. They seem to be experiencing some growing pains, and hopefully, they can take care of their debts.
