"Glen and his team were knowledgeable , hard working and on time. Whether you’re getting an older fountain up and running or creating a new water feature, these guys will get it done."
"Marv came, same day as I called and checked out what may be a leak in my garden fountain. He gave me a suggestion to make sure that the problem with the fountain is actually a leak within the fountain or something else. He did not charge me for his time. Would definitely hire in the future."
"Ken was fabulous to work with. Reasonably priced and excellent work. Great communication every step of the way. Can’t say enough good things about the process. Most importantly the bathroom looks amazing. So glad we made the right choice in a contractor. Highly recommend!"
"We had a wonderful experience with Isaiah and his team. We remodeled our small backyard to remove a bunch of concrete and put down turf grass, planters, irrigation, lighting, and a patio. Isaiah did the design for us and we love it. He even picked out all the plants for us. They started within a few weeks of the initial meeting and knocked it out in a week with a pretty large team. We cannot recommend this company enough!"
"Ilan came up with a beautiful design for our kitchen which included a big island with waterfall countertop. Construction was fair on time and on budget. Thank you."
"We contacted Mr. Parks via Angie's List. His answer to our request was prompt and professional. We set a date for the work and Mr. Parks followed up with a phone call. He again called to verify and arrived right on time. Their work was done quickly and professionally and our property was left clean and neat. We highly recommend Thomas Parks Contracting. "
"Rich Valdez came out to see our house, onto which we wanted to put a 400 sq ft addition. He took a copy of the plans, asked a few questions, looked around the house...and then we never heard from them again. If our job was too small, or they were too busy, that's fine, but some kind of follow-up would have been professional."
"Brian and his team turned the piles of dirt in our backyard into our favorite place to spend time. They were able to take our ideas and make it a reality. Brian discussed the various plants we should use and why they would work best with the area that we have."
The house was built in 1937, as you can imagine the bathroom needed a complete demolition, from the floor to the ceiling and walls. First the old vanity and bathtub were removed so that the workers could remove the old tile on the floor and the tile in the old shower which was completely removed. The floor was floated with concrete (the house is on a raised foundation), so that new tile could be installed. The walls were removed down to the studs, two old windows were replaced by one modern window above the new shower. Because Neil came up with a new design for the bathroom, a new wall was built for a very large shower in the location were the old vanity was (we did not want a bathtub). New cabinets were installed for lots of storage and a vanity with marble top, oval mirrored medicine cabinet with two wall sconces on either side. We had new recessed lights in the ceiling with a fan that goes on when the lights are turned on, not on a separate switch. Neil and the workers were very clean, leaving no mess in the living room which they had to walk through while working in the bathroom. Because of the old windows being replaced, the outside of the house was re-stuccoed and painted to match the house. No mess anywhere!.
In the kitchen, we decided not to have all the cabinets replaced as my father had made and installed ash cabinets around 1960; it was a sentimental choice, which Neil understood. Neil had matching cabinets made along a wall that had none. All tile was replaced with granite of our choice and a new stainless steel sink was installed. The linoleum floor was replaced with tile as well as the dinning room. Before the tile could be put down backboard was installed on top of the existing wood floor. All tile was installed in a diagonal pattern looking from the living room, so that the dinning room looks larger and flows into the kitchen.
Yes, your fish should stay alive in a frozen pond if you winterize it properly. By ensuring your pond has enough oxygen, good water quality, and a hole to release harmful gases, your pond and fish have the best chance of staying alive and healthy. However, if you have tropical fish, they should be overwintered indoors.
Small ponds can be drained and filled in about a day. Larger ponds will take two or three days for professional removal.
A good rule of thumb is to change 5% to 15% of your koi pon’s water every week. Partial water changes help keep your koi healthy, and replacing small amounts at a time prevents causing stress for the fish.
Regularly clean pumps, remove debris, and monitor water levels to prevent algae growth and clogging.
Pond installation costs typically range from $1,500 to $10,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the pond's size, the materials used, excavation requirements, and any additional features such as waterfalls, lighting, or specialized habitats for fish like koi.
