"Great job by Alex & Chris to remove and replace my pool heater and related gas/electric and plumbing work required. Very positive experience from beginning to end. I strongly recommend them for any pool related construction or equipment installations."

"Modern Home Remodeling did wonders for our backyard, turning it into the perfect outdoor retreat. They installed elegant pavers, a beautiful pool, and a cozy firepit, complemented by vibrant synthetic grass. Their focus on detail and our specific wishes resulted in a functional yet stylish space that we can't get enough of. The whole process was smooth and completed right on schedule. They're a top-notch choice for any outdoor renovation."

"This is the third time I’ve worked with Frank on my home, and each time he’s exceeded my high expectations. Not only did he do a great job, but he found and coordinated several contractors and subcontractors. There were many moving parts of the project, as well as winter weather to contend with, and Frank and his team had all the right people there at the right time. The project was originally estimated to take three months, but he had it finished two weeks early. We are very pleased with our beautiful new pool! Frank went above and beyond, taking care of several smaller fixes while he had his guys on site."

"We contacted California Smartscape to give us an estimate on redoing our front and back yards. They had been destroyed by putting a pool in and by a large tree in the front yard that damaged the hardscape. We spoke at length to Richard and Nick about our budget and our ideas for the yard. The proposal they came back with was within our budget and had all the elements we wanted. We were pleasantly surprised because we had contacted others and their proposals were way above budget and did not have the elements we wanted. The crews that came out to do the work were wonderful. They were professional, considerate and respectful. Steve was a great project manager who attended to things as they came up during the work. Ruben was a good crew supervisor. He had a good relationship with his workers. Now that our project is complete, we couldn’t be happier. The whole yard has been transformed into a natural landscape with easy to care for low water plants, low voltage LED lighting and drip irrigation. We even have a small artificial grass lawn in back! If you need landscape work, this is the company I would recommend."

"The overall experience was exceptional. I researched several solar systems and found theirs to be a great value. And, their professionalism is spot on. I’ve recommended them to several people I know and three have installed their systems with Secure. Lin W."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

If a pool turns green after adding salt, there’s a good chance the salt is the problem. Certain brands of salt have high levels of iron that cause pool water to take on a green hue. Test your pool water to determine if this is the issue. The green color will usually filter out. Brush the sides of the pool to knock the iron off.

This is just one reason a pool can turn green that is specific to adding salt. Many other reasons a pool can turn green include algae growth, low chlorine levels, a faulty filter, etc.

Yes, you will need to shock your pool with high levels of chlorine or bromine when you first fill it to kill off bacteria and pathogens. You’ll need to wait for the chlorine concentration to come back down to a safe level before swimming. After that, you can test and maintain the chlorine and other levels as normal. The only exception to this is if you get pool water delivered by a professional. In that case, the water might come pretreated, so you might not need to shock it.

The most expensive part of building a pool is typically the excavation and labor, which can account for 25% to 50% of the total project cost. This is particularly true for inground pools that require significant excavation, potentially including the rental of large equipment, and extensive construction labor. In contrast, above-ground pools are generally less expensive as they typically do not require excavation and can be installed much more quickly. Concrete in-ground pools are among the most labor-intensive options.

Yes, you can absolutely use a sand filter with a saltwater pool, but you’ll have to make sure you have the right grade of sand to catch smaller particles, just like in a standard pool. To choose the right pool filter, consider the degree of filtration you’ll need. Cartridge or diatomaceous earth filters can remove smaller particles, so they’re better suited for a less chlorinated saltwater pool.

Your pool should only lose around 1/4 of an inch of water per day, give or take. More wind, sunlight, and heat will cause this number to increase, while rainy or cloudy days will decrease the amount of water that evaporates.
