Pool Baja Shelf and Steps Uneven/Crooked

We are building a pool and have been having issues with our pool builder for 8 months after we were quoted 3-3.5 month build time. We have already filed an ROC complaint, but don't have an inspection scheduled for another month.

The initial pebble was severely stained/blotchy so they decided to chip it out and re-pebble without us asking them to and promised it would look much better. The pebble foreman blamed us and told us it was from "overbrushing" our pool and that we should not brush the new pebble finish unless we see dirt on it.

Now after the re-pebble, our steps in our pool/spa and corners of our baja shelf are crooked, sloped, and appear wavy. There is also a corner where the pebble did not seal all the way up to tiles and has hole.

We told our pool builder and they are not wanting to fix it for us and say they want to wait until the ROC inspection to address anything. Are we being too picky or does this look bad? We are trying to weigh our options because we are very frustrated with the pool build.

Unfortunately, once you file a formal complaint, the relationship becomes adversarial. I think there is nothing you can do but wait.
 
I have to say I agree with @PoolGate

What you are seeing is not good but that is only our opinion............you know some people who have helped build a couple/few THOUSAND pools. I am proud of them for doing the replaster job BUT what was done was not done with pride in their job :(

Definitely disappointing...the original pebble job had straight stairs and Baja shelf, but had bad coloring. Now the coloring looks better but our pool is crooked. Hopefully we can convince the ROC to make them fix it, but I guess we will wait and see
