"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."

"I contacted them for a quote and they called me within 10 minutes. Explained what they would do and the cost. (I also had two other quotes, 1 company was a little more expensive, the other quoted long distance rate). We set the date and they explained the cancellation policy. They called the day before the move to re-confirm the time and asked if I had any questions. The next morning two young men, Jason and Serge, arrived on time. They were prompt, professional, hard workers and had a great sense of humor. We walked through the house so they would understand what was being moved. And then they started. They worked fast but were very careful in wrapping and organizing everything. Once loaded, we headed to the new place. Several items needed to be moved out to go to another location which they did very quickly. Then everything was unloaded, we headed to a second location to drop off items and pick one up to return to the condo. Everything was moved without a dent, nick, chip or any breakage. They arranged furniture for me and put together things they had taken apart. They did the complete job in just 5 hours. I would absolutely hire this company again. I was very pleased with them."

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

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. 

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.

Off-season pool-building prices often align with the time of year you're least likely to use a pool. Many contractors offer deals in the late fall and winter to bolster the slow time of year. However, if you live in an area with freezing winters, you'll need to wait beyond the final frost and threats of extreme weather.

While some water loss from splashing and evaporation is normal, a rapid or excessive drop in the water level may indicate a leak. Other signs of a pool leak include unexplained soft or wet spots in the yard, cracks in the pool structure or falling tiles, higher-than-normal water bills, persistent algae growth or water discoloration, and standing water around the pump, pipes, or other pool equipment.

No, you should not use an extension cord with an aboveground pool pump. In addition to being dangerous as a tripping hazard, use of an extension cord could void your pool pump’s warranty. This is because using an extension cord not rated for use with the pool filter pump could damage this equipment.
