Pool Contractor Faces Legal Storm | Cleveland News

A local pool contractor is in legal hot water after multiple customers accuse him of taking deposits and delivering shoddy or no work at all. One customer claims he installed her pool liner incorrectly, causing leaks — a dispute Reale denies, citing no formal contract. Another customer filed a police report after allegedly losing $5,000, leading to Reale’s arrest on felony theft charges. Reale says the customer became aggressive and impatient, and even offered to repay him minus expenses — though the case is now in the criminal system. Meanwhile, a civil lawsuit from another customer looms, with a court decision expected soon. As scrutiny mounts, Reale’s business remains under fire from more dissatisfied clients seeking answers and justice.
