"Initially we had an issue over scheduling, but that issue has been resolved and the work has been done. They did a great job, the new liner looks great. They were very pleasant to work with and Mr. Cotter even gave me some advice about general upkeep of my above ground pool. Much appreciated all around."

"I was pretty happy with the repair and the work they did. I didn't have any problems but they were slightly late. 

They didn't have to actually go up and clean the ventilation system but they went ahead and did that anyway. They went ahead cleaned out the furnace as well and that might have been something I would have had to have another technician come out and do. So they kinda went above and beyond there."

"Great service. Very prompt in returning messages and scheduling the work. We had to replace a downdraft vent. After getting the run around from multiple appliance stores who asked astronomical prices, I bought the replacement myself but needed someone to install it. Dollhouse bid for the job and assured quality work. The tech arrived promptly even before schedule. He worked great and when faced with some issues in setting the ductwork, went the extra mile to install the vent. He was also very polite and nice. I will highly recommend this company for services. Their pricing was very reasonable too. Altogether, I ended up saving a lot compared to an appliance store install offer."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

The number of gallons in your pool will determine how much chlorine you’ll need to add to your pool for the first time. Chlorine levels should fall between 1 and 3 ppm. It's crucial to read the instructions on your chlorine packet to determine the number of tablets to put in the water based on your pool's capacity.

Shipping container pools are prone to rust and corrosion over time, especially if you install a saltwater system. Though the interior of your pool should be lined, the outside is at risk. Luckily there are a few things you can do.

Elevate your pool or place it on a foundation to prevent moisture buildup along the bottom of the container. Apply a rust inhibitor or paint to protect the outside of your pool, and maintain the proper chlorine levels to reduce the rate of corrosion. Regularly inspect your pool for signs of corrosion, and take action when necessary. 

There are some disadvantages to a salt water pool. Besides costing slightly more than chlorine pools, salt water pools require a lot of salt. It's also harder to find a professional with salt water pool experience to do minor maintenance and repairs. Salt water can also damage some materials, so you’ll need to use specific heating, fixtures, lighting, liners, and masonry when building a salt water pool.

Any number between 7.2 and 7.8 is an ideal pH for swimming pools or 80 to 120 ppm. Your pool testing kit should be able to measure both of these numbers. If your pool’s pH is below this range, the water is too acidic and can cause scaling and damage to pool equipment. If the water’s pH is above this range, it can decrease the effectiveness of necessary chemicals, like chlorine.

The time it takes for a pool heater to heat a pool can range from eight to 48 hours, with an average of about 12 hours for the initial heating. For a more specific example, an average-sized 15,000-gallon pool may take six to 10 hours to heat up by 10 degrees. The exact duration depends on several factors, including the pool's size, the type and size of the heater, the starting water temperature, and the outside air temperature. It may take some trial and error to determine the precise time your specific pool takes to reach a desired temperature.
