"Backyard Ponds of Beltsville, MD., installed my koi pond 2 years ago, replacing one that was horribly installed by another local landscaping company. They were quick, cleaned up when done and gave me an exceptional deal. I called them back this year to clean the pond. They emptied the pond, contained the fish and scrubbed it squeaky clean. No more dangling algae or dirty water. When I came home from work, it was crystal clear, the waterfall was adjusted for settling and the fish appeared healthy and happy. I would clearly recommend them to anyone interested in putting in a fish pond!!"

"BJ Pool & SPA is a first rate company.  Bob, the owner, has been working with pools for decades and knows everything about pools. He is actually willing to try to repair equipment, unlike many other lesser companies that merely put in new stuff.  If you have any issues with your pool and spa, these are the people to call: they will fix anything and will always provide you with the best options.  Bill, the specialist who came to work on the unusual configuration of equipment for my small indoor pool and spa, demonstrated a great deal of experience, ability and honesty.  BJ Pool & Spa might not seem cheap, however, given their vast knowledge, experience and technical ability, they will provide you with quality service and advice that will save you money in the long run.  Their competence and integrity is extremely reassuring.  It isn't always easy to find a good pool company (this industry isn't as regulated as other professions), and it took me a while to find this one. BJ Pool will be the company I call when I want honest and reliable service

Hristo did everything possible to get the job done. This particular June 2016 was filled with many rain days and made his schedule hectic. He kept me in the loop and was up front and honest about the delay noting vinyl liners must be installed in dry, sunny weather - none of which came for a few weeks.

The job was handled quickly and professionally while his team made several visits to complete the job. During this time we got even more rain but the liner was installed by then and they finished all well within the timeframe.

I write all this because Hristo kept me informed which I appreciated and which has earned him and his team my respect and gratitude.

A job more than well done! Also, within budget :)

"We contracted with 5th Gen Group for repairs to flooring, subfloor, and floor joists in the lower unit of our condo building. 5th Gen Group was very helpful and responsive, and offered a detailed estimate for the project at a competitive rate. The owner of 5th Gen Group went above and beyond to answer our questions and ensure that our needs were met. The workers and foreman that 5th Gen Group provided were extremely professional, the quality of the work was excellent, and the job was completed quickly. I would definitely recommend 5th Gen Group to others, and will happily work with them again on future projects."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

The best way to kill off an algae bloom in an aboveground pool is to shock it with a large dose of chlorine. Shock typically kills off algae in about one to three days, although it can take longer if the pool water is in poor condition. After the shock treatment, add algaecide to prevent algae from growing back, and test the water every few days with test strips to ensure the pool’s pH doesn’t get out of whack.

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.

Your pool should only lose around 1/4 of an inch of water per day, give or take. More wind, sunlight, and heat will cause this number to increase, while rainy or cloudy days will decrease the amount of water that evaporates.

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.

The amount of time your fiberglass pool project will take depends on the size of the pool and whether you are installing add-ons like decking and landscaping. Overall, you should expect it to take four to six weeks to install. If you are dreaming of summer pool parties, make sure to budget enough time into the installation schedule to have your pool up and running in time for the swimming season.
