"  On Monday I called 14 Companies that handle servicing Swimming Pools and Leak detection.  Mike of Blue Wave Pools is one of the ONLY people to call me back!  I told him about our pool leak and he explained that he services pool and that such a situation as mine would be a job for the Leak Terminator, Justin...... I called Leak Terminator and Justin came right out and fixed our leak...
 saving us $ 1,500.00 ! 
     I have Mike of BLUE WAVE POOLS to thank for this and I thought it was worth writing this review, as he does not even handle leak detection and call me back anyway!
  Such a professional guy !  Hope to have him service our pool as well.

"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!!!"

"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."

"I had used Molina's last year to transition my front yard to low water landscaping. I had a great experience and came back to them again when I needed help with my back yard this year. They gave a competitive quote and we're working the next business day after we agreed to the job. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone who needs landscaping work done."

"We are so pleased with our new backyard! We have so much more usable space, and less grass to water. Andrew was awesome to work with for the design aspect. Saul and his crew did an amazing job - hardest working guys I have ever seen. They demolished an existed cement patio, installed pavers, moved 2 big pygmy date palms, installed gas lines, put in new drip system, installed new sod. We had a few plants not make it and they were quick to get them replaced. We highly recommend California Smartscape and will use them again when we do our front yard."

"I purchased this deal because I have thought about putting a bathroom in the top floor of my home in imperial beach. I need a design and they couldn't do it because I don't have an existing bathroom where I want one designed. I rated the experience as an A despite the fact that they didn't perform any services because they were incredibly professional and straightforward."

"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."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

When designing your dream pool, it's important to leave enough room for safe walkways, patios, and extras such as outdoor kitchens and fire pits. Your local building codes may specify the minimum space between your pool and your house, utility lines, and property line. In most cases, the area of the patio around the pool should be equal to or greater than the surface area of the pool.

You’ll need at least 50-by-10 feet for a residential lap pool. Endless pools need as little as 15-by-8 feet. Deciding which type of pool is right for you and your family will depend heavily on the size of your backyard and what can comfortably fit. Don’t forget to leave room for other structures and activities in your yard, such as a swing set, shed, garden, or outdoor grill.

Generally, you should run your pool pump for eight to 12 hours a day to keep your water clean and chemical levels balanced. The ideal runtime can vary depending on your specific pump type. While running the pump as much as possible is ideal for cleanliness, it can increase electricity costs. To save money, you can run the pump strategically during non-peak hours when electricity is cheaper, which is often in the evenings or at night. The hours do not need to be consecutive.

Certain pools serve as a middle ground between traditional swimming pools and hot tubs. The two main options are plunge pools and swim spas. A plunge pool (or cocktail pool) is smaller, but you can add spa-like elements such as heating and jets. A swim spa is more similar to a hot tub, but it produces a current that allows you to swim in place (similar to how a treadmill lets you run in place). 

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.
