"I have a unique above ground pool and Brian and his team were right on time (in fact, called 45 mins ahead of their arrival to tell me when they'd be here) and opened my pool for the season. They gave me tips on how to maintain it myself (types of brooms, chlorine tablets, etc.) and opened it quickly and professionally. I'm new to this and knew nothing about pools but now, thanks to Brian et al., I also feel like a pro who can handle my own pool. Thanks guys!!!"

We called the plumber because the toliets were stopped up.  When he came out, there was one problem after another.  Apparently the pipes in the bathrooms were cast iron and had completely rusted out.  They had to jackhammer the concrete in both bathrooms to replace the pipes up to where the pipes were good.  They found mold when they remove the tile in the bathrooms, so they had to deal with that.  When installing the overflow valve in the front of the house they found that the sewer pipes were made out of clay and had tree roots in them.  They had to dig a trench from the house out to the sidewalk and replace those sewer lines and cut down one of my trees.  They also replaced the washing machine hookup and some other things.  After it was done, they retiled and repainted the bathrooms.  The job took about a week, which was less time that Alex, the plumber, had estimated.
I would give everything an A or B, except they left rock and clay pipe fragments in my front yard where they dug the trench.  All other debris was cleaned up.  Some of the tile in the half-bath is not quite level and the paint around the base boards is not good.  The prior baseboard was 3" vinyl, which they replaced with standard 1" wood.  That was ok, but they didn't remove the adhesive from the wall where the vinyl baseboard was, so the paint is all lumpy there.  Also, the door on the main bath is not quite right.  It's functional, but it has a little hitch when you open it all the way.
I'm mostly satisfied.  I'm not sure about the price.  I don't know the going rate for this situation. $17,160.00 is a lot of money, but they did a lot of work.  I kind of wish I had asked for a second opinion, just so I'd be sure that it was a fair price, but I don't really feel like I was ripped off.

"Your Denver Metro Construction, (Lucy Hastings) was highly recommended to me by a colleague in the real estate industry. When I contacted Lucy about our concrete job, she responded very quickly and provided me with photos of recent work along with a list of references to contact. That really impressed me, as I've never worked with a contractor who provided that information upfront.

She and I corresponded for about a week discussing the scope of work, and I provided photos and some basic measurements for her to give me a and quot;ballparkand quot; figure for the cost of the job. Once I decided to hire her, she came to the house to see the job in person, take measurements and discuss some of the design elements of the patio and front stoop. Once we finalized our contract, her foreman got started on the work right away, he and his crew had the work done within one week and it turned out very well. As with any project there were a few minor bumps and small delays, but they worked through it, communicated very well and did a fantastic job. I would definitely hire Your Denver Metro Construction again!

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

Installing a pool chiller can give you more control over the temperature of your pool, especially if you live in a climate with hot summers. Just a few degrees of cooling can make your swim feel more refreshing and allow you to use fewer pool chemicals by slowing down the growth of algae. You might not need a pool chiller if you live in a climate in which temperatures tend to dip at night.

It is generally not recommended to place a pool directly on grass. Doing so will kill the grass underneath, and the surrounding lawn may also be damaged by heavy foot traffic and splashes of chemically-treated water. For best results, create a clean, level surface by removing the grass and debris. You can then install a sturdier base using materials like sand, a concrete pad, or solid foam.

Detecting a leak in your pool costs about $300 on average. The price ranges widely from low $100 up to $1,000. Here are the costs involved in leak detection services for your pool:

  • Pool inspection: $125–$250

  • Above ground pool leak detection: $100–$700

  • Inground pool leak detection: $400–1,000

  • Vinyl liner repair: $350–$3,600

  • Fiberglass lining repair: $300–$400

  • Concrete liner repair: $75 per linear foot

  • Pressure test pool lines: $200–$500

  • Skimmer repair: $100–$250

  • Main drain repair: $400–$700

  • Pump repair: $50–$300

  • Tile repair: $20-$30 per linear foot

It's not a good idea to drain an aboveground pool into your yard since the pool water's chemicals can harm your plants and the surrounding ecosystem. Instead, it's best to drain the pool into an appropriate sewer so it can be processed at a water treatment plant. You might also be able to drain it into your storm drain, depending on your region. Check with your city to learn about any relevant regulations.

It’s a good idea to wait at least 24 hours after opening your pool before you swim in it. Pool opening often involves shocking the water, and the chemical levels need to come down a bit before it’s safe to swim. You can continue testing your water pH and chlorine levels if you’re in a rush. It’s wise to wait until your chlorine levels drop to under four parts per million (ppm) and you have a water pH of between 7.2 and 7.8. You can artificially lower your water pH to speed up the process.
