What is the name of your state? TN
I had an inground pool installed this year, which turned out to ba long drawn out hassle. Anyway it was a package deal which included so much concrete to go around the pool (walkway) and diving board. I informed the pool company that I was going to need some extra concrete for a small patio. They said sure no problem. On several occasions I asked for an estimate on the cost, I was always told don't worry about it, we will take care of it later. Even the day they poured the concrete I was told this. I even asked the guy forming the concrete who had contracted the work through the pool company because I didn't know if I need to go through him to get the extra concrete. He had no idea but did tell me that the pea gravel concrete was $1.50/sq foot. So I never got an estimate and never signed anything for the extra concrete. They went ahead and poured what I needed. Two months later they bill me for $2400 for the extra concrete at $4/sq foot. I was assuming the cost would be around $500 but I have no idea of the cost of these types of things. I would not have gotten the extra concrete if I had known how much it was going to cost. I never signed anything for the extra concrete and was never given a cost or an estimate on it. I feel like this is wrong and unreasonable and want to know what my rights are and what I am responsible to pay for? Please help-thanks
