"I called Mike on a Friday and he met me the following Monday afternoon to look at the pool and equipment.  He called me before to let me know he was on his way, and he was right on time.  Mike looked at the system in its entirety, and then he found the problems and explained what it would take to repair them.   Mike is friendly and personable, and his expertise is evident in how quickly he figured out what was wrong.  A week later, Mike was back with the parts, and he completed the repairs and service the same afternoon. As before, I had a call when he was on his way, and he was right on time.  Mike went out of his way to ensure that the entire system was working properly, and he gave me additional recommendations to extend the life of the equipment.   
Mike is one of those persons who can lessen your anxiety with his calm approach and "it can be fixed" positive attitude.  I am very happy to find a pro like Mike in my area, and I'll be calling him for all future pool work.

"San Juan Pools in Valley Center put in the most beautiful pool and spa for us! Jon Mitchell is such a great guy and always followed through to make sure we were happy and that the job was done right. The price was super affordable and the pool turned out amazing; the pool is nestled between our boulders and they managed to build our spa in spite of some large underground rocks. Other pool companies tried to convince us to move the location, but Jon came through and built an even better pool and spa than we envisioned. Thank you Jon!!! I would have given you 10 stars if I could have!!!"

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

"Scheduling my cleaning was pretty straightforward, although it's best to call them vs. email.  I think multiple staff have access to the same "customer service" email account, and I received different responses to my questions as a result because they apparently did not communicate with each other.  Just call Rosie and let her handle it.
Overall, the crew did a very thorough cleaning job of the kitchen and bathrooms.  They wore booties in the house and used green cleaning products at my request and were very meticulous with their work (e.g. dusting the blinds, furniture, and baseboards; wiping down stairs and banisters).  My only criticisms are that my range still had some caked-on grease (perhaps they could look into more effective and efficient ways to dissolve stains like that).  Also, they did not clean the ovens or mop the bathroom floors.
Be Gone sent a crew of 3 to clean my house, which was little disappointing because the owner, Joey, had told me that she would send 4 people.  She did honor the Angie's List special of $199 for 3 hours of cleaning, though.  They are pretty reasonable and flexible with pricing.
If you plan on paying for a predetermined amount or time (i.e. only 3 hours), be very specific with the crew about where you want them to concentrate their efforts, especially if you have a large house.  Otherwise, if you're comfortable with being charged hourly, let the crew continue until the job is finished.
I would probably use Be Gone again and recommend them their services, keeping in mind the above caveat regarding time."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

Pool chemical levels should include a pH between 7.4 and 7.6, alkalinity between 80 to 120 ppm, and chlorine from 1 to 3 ppm. The size and type of your pool determine additional chemical levels, such as stabilizers and pool shock, but you can get to know these numbers using our pool maintenance 101 guide.

Pool maintenance costs an average of $230 per service, with prices ranging from $50 to $750 per service, depending on several factors. The type of service will usually be the most significant cost factor, as opening and closing a pool takes a few hours and can total $400 or more, while regular cleanings could cost under $100. The size of your pool and the type of pool—above-ground, in-ground, saltwater—can also affect the price of maintenance.

You should avoid filling your pool overnight—just as a precaution. You’ll want someone around to check on the progress. If your hose springs a leak or you overfill your pool, you could end up with some costly water damage. At worst, you could flood your home’s foundation. For this reason, ensure someone is home and awake, even if your pool takes a couple of days to fill.

If you've decided to fill in or remove your pool, begin by researching local, reputable pool removal companies to take care of the job for you. There are a variety of companies and contractors that can handle the work. You can start by looking for demolition or construction companies. Also, some pool builders will handle fills and removals.

In most states, it is a legal requirement to have a fence around your pool to protect both swimmers and pool owners. These laws can vary by state, city, and county, so you must research the specific regulations in your area before installation. The rules may also differ for inground versus above-ground pools, with inground pools typically requiring a full fence. Additionally, most homeowners' insurance providers will require a fence around a residential pool before providing coverage. As a general rule, it's always best to have a fence for everyone's safety.
