"My contractor, Todd, was beyond excellent! He was extremely professional and helpful! His maneurism was very pleasant, and I enjoyed working with him on what needed to be done at my house! Todd put my mind at ease because I was extremely upset with the job that was done from a previous contractor. Todd was able to fix their mistakes, and he did it in a very prompt and courteous way. I feel that Todd went above and beyond for me. He did research on handicap ramps and found an economical and great handicap ramp. He traveled to pick it up and put it in for me. Not to mention all the great work that he had to undo from the awful job my previous contractor did. With all the work that Todd did, I found him extremely financially reasonable and economical! I will be hiring Todd to do more projects around my house! I fully recommend Todd to anybody. I have extreme confidence and faith in his abilities Todd has great work ethics and is a pleasure to work with! I look forward to working with him on my future projects around my house!"

"One oven doesn't work at all ( my choice, see above), the "working" oven was never calibrated properly so using it is hit or miss. It's time to call American Home Shield to see about replacing the entire unit. I'm waiting to finish other home projects before calling them. I don't know if I'll request Greenway again."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

You should add one 3-inch chlorine tablet for every 5,000 gallons of water in your pool. If you have a smaller pool, it’s better to use 1-inch chlorine tablets so you don’t accidentally add too much chlorine. Alternatively, you can add two to three ounces of powdered chlorine or half a gallon of liquid chlorine for every 5,000 gallons of water.

The steps to fill a swimming pool will depend on your local building codes. However, it starts with draining the pool of all water using a submersible pump. Then your pro will lift the pool shell from the ground or break it into pieces for individual removal. The next step is filling the cavity with dirt and gravel and topping it with topsoil. Once a structural engineer deems the site safe, landscaping can start.

You can build a plunge pool in an 8-by-8-foot space. Many plunge pools are about 8 to 12 feet wide, 2 to 24 feet long, and 4 to 8 feet deep. While these pools are smaller than your average swimming pool, you may want additional space for a deck or patio to surround the plunge pool.

The total time to install an inground pool typically ranges from 8 weeks to 4 months. This timeline can be influenced by several factors, including permitting, site preparation, and the construction process itself.

Key phases and their typical durations include:

  • Permits: Obtaining necessary permits can take anywhere from two to six weeks.

  • Excavation and Site Preparation: This phase takes about a week but can be extended by problematic soil, unexpected ground conditions, or the need to move underground utility lines.

  • Construction: The actual build, including plumbing and electrical work, often takes one to two months. The pool material is a major factor here; a concrete pool needs about 30 days to cure, while installing a fiberglass or vinyl liner is much faster.

External factors can also cause significant delays:

  • Contractor Availability: Spring and summer are busy seasons, and high demand can lead to long waitlists, potentially adding months to your start date. It is often recommended to start planning and getting estimates up to a year in advance.

  • Other Delays: Weather, material shortages, complex designs, and other unforeseen challenges can extend the project timeline.

A pool booster pump costs between $700 and $4,000 on average. The type and size of pump are the biggest factors that influence the cost. The average price of labor will also play a role since you should hire a pro to install a pool booster pump for you.
