"Noe and his son did a superb job resurfacing our in-ground spa and making it look better than new. They were pleasant to deal with and were meticulous about their work. They also cleaned up each evening and left the work area spotless. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again, and based on their work I'm considering doing the entire pool."

7/13/15:  I have worked out an arrangement with the company and at this point harbor no ill will towards them.


While we had multiple issues with ESI (not showing when scheduled, workers drinking alcohol on the job, substandard work which had to be redone), when the remodel was completed we thought we had a pretty nice looking kitchen.  Then, as months passed, we started noticing a lot of grease spots accumulating on the cabinet above the microwave.  When we hired another contractor for a bathroom remodel, we asked him to take a look at this cabinet issue.  He found that the ventilation kit had not been attached to the microwave nor to the air ducting of the house so the grease had no where to go.  Additionally, our contractor found the following issues from the ESI remodel:

*romax sticking out of the wall going directly into the bottom of a cabinet into a non-gain box

*electrical socket behind dishwasher was non GFI protected and had no cover plate so exposed to water

*4 GFI's, way to many for our kitchen area, were tied into one line.

Bottom line:  our contractor said the work had created a major safety issue which could result in a fire or electrocution.

"We contacted Steve through Angie List because we wanted to give our old 80 style pool a much needed and quot;faceliftand quot;. Unfortunately, to finances a full remodel is not an option at this time so we wanted to do the best we could with the limited funds we had available. We contact several pool contractors and Steve at OC Pool Technicians was the only one who seemed to undertsand our budget and needs. He came out for a consultation and told my husband the possibilities and his recomendations of how to spend our $1000 max budget. Our primary concerns were the staining and discoloration of our white pool plaster, tile, and grout. We also had a missing pool drain cover. Steve told my husband that once the acid bath was done the plaster would be white again and the discoloration and stain would be gone that he could clean up the tile and grout and that he could replace the drain cover and replace the spa light all within our budget. It took about a week to get a written estimate and after careful consideration we decided to move forward. It took about another week to schedule the start of the work. it started with draining the pool which took a couple days, then the repair of plaster on the step, then the acid bath which took a day, then the sanding, then to our surprise with a couple of days from starting the job, he was filling the pool back up. It's here we run into all the complaints...the pool plaster was not all white after he did his job, you could visibly see the same discoloration and while the staining was better it was not by any means gone as he'd promised. We contacted Steve and he responded that that was best it would get and that to him it looked beautiful. Well that's great but to me it looks the same and I'm the paying customer. So we pushed the issue and continued to express disappointment. Then came the excuses...he had one for everything we weren't pleased with...the first excuse... was too old to do any more treatments or sanding and that if we wanted more we would have to sign a waiver releasing him of any libaility or damage to the pool. Feeling very disouraged and not pleased which we communicated to Steve we had him finish the work on the spa light and filled in the pool. Our only request was that he make the tile and grout sparkle to hopefully at least give the pool the illusion of being updated. He said he came out and worked on it several times but it not nuch better either--definitely not how I expected/he promised it to be. When we communicated how unhappy we were with the tile/grout outcome we got excuse number two..now it was it too old and simply needed to be replaced. WOW! Really! we already new that and we're not pool contractors. the experiance and outcome was less than diserable and while there is an improvement in the appearance of the pool its absoluely not what we were lead to believe it would be. It's. About 60% better than it was to start. Absolutely not $1000 better. Of course, he wanted to be paid along the way for the process and upon completion. He offered no discount for the service even though we weren't happy with the outcome. In my opinion he found out how much money we had to spend, told us what we wanted to hear, and made promises to get our business but couldn't ever deliver what he promised to. I've had lots of great experiences with Angie's List contractors this just wasn't one of them.

"They installed sliding glass door for me. They did a poor job of it. While framing it, they ignored or grossly misread the structural engineer's drawings (failing to install a column attached to the ground), which seemed incredibly dangerous. They only installed it after my wife noticed it before they covered it up, and then they still needed me to verify with the structural engineer that a column should actually go all the way to the footing. Thank God my wife saw it. They left trash and debris everywhere throughout the project. They also improperly sealed the door, and now it leaks whenever it rains. We have tried to call them to fix the seal around the door multiple times. They said they would fix it, but now they simply do not return our calls. Avoid this contractor!"

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

The cost to repair a swimming pool varies widely, with an average cost around $700. The total expense can range from as little as $10 for simple DIY fixes to over $20,000 for extensive overhauls. Key factors influencing the cost include the type of pool (in-ground vs. above-ground), its size, and the specific repairs needed. For above-ground pools, repairs typically cost between $100 and $700. For in-ground pools, costs are higher, generally ranging from $350 to $2,700. Common repairs include patching liners, fixing plumbing or electrical lines, and repairing equipment like pumps and filters. More complex issues, such as fixing a cracked beam, can cost $6,000 or more, while major projects like resurfacing a concrete pool can cost between $10,000 and $20,000.

With a regular pool, the water is contained by visible walls that are higher than the water level. An infinity pool has one or more walls that are right at the waterline so they're not truly visible. For an invisible look, the lower wall is often made of glass or clear acrylic. The water laps over the lower edge and into a catch basin below where it gets pumped back into the pool.

You'll feel the most comfortable in pool water between 78 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Lower temperatures are a bit brisk, while higher temperatures can lead to algae and cloudy pool water. Choose a pool heater that either runs automatically when your water dips below 78 or switch it on several hours before using the pool for the day.

Yes, you will need building permits for an inground pool, and your pool installation company should pull them for you. The permit filing fee will usually sit between $400 and $1,800, and it should appear on your contract or invoice. You may want to confirm with your contractor that they will pull all necessary permits. You might also need a permit for a new fence, as many municipalities have special fencing requirements for properties with pools. A fence permit costs between $50 and $500. This expense may not be included in your pool installation estimate.

The lifespan of a semi-aboveground pool depends on the lining, but they last between seven and 15 years on average. This is right in line with what you can expect from a standard aboveground pool. In comparison, an in-ground pool can last up to 75 years with a well-maintained concrete liner.
