Dear Customer:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that on October 13, 2022, Catalina Pool Builders, LLC. (“Catalina”) ceased operations after being in operation since 2008.
This was a difficult decision for our family and was made over many months and after carefully reviewing many considerations. Catalina’s mission over the past 14 years was to build high quality swimming pools at an affordable cost for our customers.
World events over the past 3 years have made this process quite difficult, with shortages of material, employees, subcontractors and the substantial increase in prices to perform contracts that Catalina entered many months before incurring the expenses. The time frame of permitting and building swimming pools, due to the current world pandemic and ultimately the sharp increase in all costs involved in the process, has also led to our demise. Our owners invested substantial sums of money to maintain operations, but even those resources were not enough. While the future of Catalina is certain, the future of the owners and management is not as we search for new occupations. We wish you all the success in life, and we regret that you must search for others to finish your swimming pool project. We cannot do so because of the inability to pay employees, hire subcontractors and pay creditors.
Over the next 2-3 weeks, we will be reviewing all accounting records in an attempt to liquidate assets for potential distribution to approximately two hundred (200) creditors. Once this process is complete you will receive a letter from counsel to Catalina as to the liquidation of the few remaining assets.
We apologize for the inconvenience and harm to you, but we have exhausted our viable options.
CATALINA POOL BUILDERS, LLC
