      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      First reached out to Leisure Time for a quote in December 2021. No response. Explanation later given: "contact no longer with the company." Sadly, there was no follow-up.Reached out again in early Spring. Finally received a quote in April. Executed the contract in May. No action.Problem with gas line installed. Takes weeks to get remedied after repeated requests. Finally fixed on 7/11.Build-out finally begins in late July. Then, no response.Problem with mantel they ordered. Requires constant follow-up on my part to get a replacement. Proper mantel not hung until 9/23. Only now do they notice electrical isn't working.Unit is installed on 9/28. Remote not included. Still can't use it. Doesn't get fired up until 10/14.Installation did not include access to wi-fi as was promised. Wi-Fi dongle installed 12/1, but returns an error and does not connect. Tech found the back and top of the fireplace was cracked. Further inspection revealed the logs are chipped/cracked and stones have burned up leaving a fiberglass substance behind. It is far too early for any of these problems to be happening. We have still not had a fully functional fireplace nor has a final inspection ever been scheduled. This has sadly been the worst communication and customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Comedy of errors. There are no updates. It has required me to constantly follow up to get any kind of response. Completely unacceptable. I expect an immediate response with an action plan. I expect the WiFi module to be fixed. I expect the damaged pieces to be replaced (and a remedy of what caused this premature damage). I expect this all to be done under warranty in this calendar year, 2022. If I do not receive a response, I will have no choice but to pursue legal options. I have email and text records that clearly document everything I've stated.

      Poor communication. Low quality installers. Sales require upfront payment then give poor install, are messy, left our roof open to leaks. Installers did not tack screw, use proper caulking, tore up expensive asphalt shingles. Company never responded or offered to fix. Installers don't clean up. Management never responded to fix the issues put in email with pictures and our roofer verifying the problems. We do not recommend this company for fireplace install and will not purchase a hot tub from them.
