Spinieo Inc.

This company Spinieo Inc and DBA Platinum Pools is a complete waste of time. The company relies on sub contractors and does not know who they are doing. Matt Landis will say anything and send a bunch of emails rather then checking on his jobs. They have their unskilled labors do 80% of a skilled persons job, Then pay a licensed sub contractor to finish the rest of the mess the unskilled labor started. When the project is finished and stuff does not work correctly, they blame the skilled person for what the non skilled labor did. In the end they won’t say anything to the skilled labor and just not pay them. They have a reputation on the street of shorting sub contractors. For the homeowner I would be worried about what kind of work the non skilled labor is doing, just so Spinieo/​Platinum pools can make an extra buck. Homeowners and Sub Contractors should be warned to stay away from this company. They should just stick with mowing lawns and trimming bushes. Maybe they won’t mess that job up.

FAIL!!!
Over 1 yr later and they still have not paid the sub contractors who are still sending me letters despite our legal settlement done between our attorneys. YES it was that bad!
We built a multi level patio with an outdoor kitchen and roof, 3 additional rooms/​areas and a hot tub enclosure. We used high end materials such as brick laid in mortar, pure stone walls and blue stone capping throughout. We also widened our driveway during the project. The company used a bait and switch on part of the job to try to get us to pay quite a bit more because «they bid the job too low and didn’t cost it out properly.» This was after completing ½ of the work on the driveway then letting it sit for weeks all torn up.
Deadline after deadline was missed — after a year we decided to part ways with multiple items not completed. We made many concessions to try to get the job completed and in the end agreed to settle because the legal bills were such that we would probably spend more money to be proven right and win so we opted to cut our losses. In the end the project was never completely finished and Spinieo reneged on various aspects of the contract as well as $ 1,200 in credit owed for the removal of a blue stone border despite having it in writing. The contract was with Spinieo Inc (aka Spinieo Landscaping) but was initially run by a subsidiary of Spinieo, Platinum Pools Inc. They operate from the same office and address and we were told all decisions for both companies are executed by the owner — Chris Spinieo.
Regarding Brent Spinieo’s comment: The review is because the process was so PAINFUL and you FAILED repeatedly. We were looking for a bigger professional organization since we could have hired a «guy with a truck and a ladder» and saved a lot of $$ but in the end had as many headaches at a much higher cost. Are you looking for praise for building what your customer designed and paid you to do? Praise would be if you exceeded expectations not exceeded deadlines, made repeated mistakes and tried to overcharge us time and again. We were told the job would take 4 weeks — but MORE than 25 weeks later they were still at it!
We made every payment on time and in accordance with the contract. The FINAL 15% was due at the completion of the job. I was asked on 5 separate occasions by Chris Spinieo to pay the contract (or at least some portion of it) early and he would «promise» to finish the job quickly (poor choice of words) because the best way to ensure the subs would keep working was to pay them something. I repeatedly gave him the same answer that he should pay them out of the 85% he had already received and we’ll stick to the terms of the contract.
As far as unbiased reviews are concerned, there are plenty of objective sources such as this site or Angie’s List but you will also find an interesting review on
for a glowing «unbiased» review by the owner about his own work. Maybe the customer comments are less biased on your company website but this review is what we experienced and available for people to consider, discount or ignore at their own peril.
