"I really can't say enough good things about this company.  They are totally professional and treat your home with great care.  They work with you, in their show room as well as in your home to find out what look works best for you.  Once you decide on what you want, they will do a portion of a room and let you look at a few days.  They will tear it out or tweak it or re-do it, or whatever until you get it the way you want it.  Once you get to that point the job goes quickly and the results are amazing. We had most of our home done by this group and have only had to call them back for one minor defect.
  
It's been a year since the installation of two rooms of the new floor.  It's great!  You don't have to deal with grout, but you do have to be a little careful about scuffs.  Since you can only clean the surface with water, it takes quite a bit of effort to get scuffs out. Environmental Management will come out and professionally clean the floor every 6 to 12 months, if you want.  We have not had to have them do that yet, but it's about time.  Mainly in the high traffic areas of the kitchen and entry hall.  Tucson dirt does accumulate in the texture sweeps (in our case a sandstone look), and it can require some effort with a soft brush to remove most of it.

That's the little stuff.  What you probably want to know is what this company like to work with. Let me tell you about our family room.  The existing floor consisted of concrete pavers.  We had no idea what was underneath them, if anything, and they were big, 30lb. blocks.  We didn't want EM to remove them because there might just be dirt underneath, in which case we would have to pour a concrete slab in order to have EM put an overlay on top of it.  They warned us that if they put the concrete overlay over the pavers, we would see "ghosting" of the grout lines between the old pavers.  Burying them wouldn't necessarily get rid of them.  They gave us good advice but we finally convinced them to try it with a new product that they had never used before.  We ended up with 600 ft. of completed concrete overlay which was beautiful until the sunlight shone across it revealing virtually every joint line in the now buried pavers.  Long story short, EM ripped out every inch of their completed work; we removed the pavers finding dirt underneath.  We hired a contractor to pour a concrete slab and a month later Environmental Management once again prepped, applied and completed a beautiful concrete overlay floor.  The price:  We paid EM to put the first overlay in and that was it.  They tore it out and hauled it off. After waiting several months for us to get the pavers out and the concrete pad in, they came back and installed a brand new concrete overlay floor and charged us nothing for all 600 square feet of their trouble.

I would imagine that they would not always be able to stand behind a job where they had advised the homeowner that the completed job might have significant problems, but in this case they did - and without any arguments or threats.  Environmental Management is an excellent example of a small business that will survive this treacherous economy.  Great product, great craftsmanship and unimpeachable integrity."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s fair to be concerned about handling pool lights or wiring in a pool filled with water. But fortunately, pool lights and swimming pools are designed to make it easy and safe to replace the lights without needing to drain the water. Instead, you can turn off the electricity to the pool as a safety precaution, unscrew the pool fixture, pull it up and out to the side of the pool, then change the bulb.

While you can use a grounding rod when bonding an in-ground pool, that’s necessarily the best option. A grounding rod is an older grounding method that’s not usually used anymore, thanks to modern electrical design and services. Again, if you don’t have electrical experience, your best and safest bet is to hire a pool electrician.

It is possible to restore a filled-in pool. If you want to dig up and repair a filled-in pool in your backyard, the process will cost about the same as the cost of installing a new in-ground pool. You might do this if the filled-in pool is causing sinking, swelling, or drainage issues in your yard. A new pool may resolve these problems and increase your property value.

The total time to install an inground pool typically ranges from 8 weeks to 4 months. This timeline can be influenced by several factors, including permitting, site preparation, and the construction process itself.

Key phases and their typical durations include:

  • Permits: Obtaining necessary permits can take anywhere from two to six weeks.

  • Excavation and Site Preparation: This phase takes about a week but can be extended by problematic soil, unexpected ground conditions, or the need to move underground utility lines.

  • Construction: The actual build, including plumbing and electrical work, often takes one to two months. The pool material is a major factor here; a concrete pool needs about 30 days to cure, while installing a fiberglass or vinyl liner is much faster.

External factors can also cause significant delays:

  • Contractor Availability: Spring and summer are busy seasons, and high demand can lead to long waitlists, potentially adding months to your start date. It is often recommended to start planning and getting estimates up to a year in advance.

  • Other Delays: Weather, material shortages, complex designs, and other unforeseen challenges can extend the project timeline.
