"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 :)

Great, Two technicians showed up and began work. I was called in to view the original builders work. Really! My builder did not even have an electrical box to feed the lights just a wire. I was told some drywall would be removed to feed the wires for the 2 lights. OK.. Well they cut the wall ran the wires set the boxes and replaced the piece of drywall with the scraps. I now have 2 perfectly centered and level locations for my lights. They even left me some drywall scarps from the holes they cut to fill the hammer holes the original builder left.

A great job from a great crew. My wife loved the  sound of the Vac when they cleaned up whatever mess they made. I never saw the mess. Great! Great! Great!

I/m looking for more electrical work just to have them back.....

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

The average 12-by-24-foot in-ground pool costs $48,500, but depending on the features and materials, prices can trend even higher. You’ll spend less on a rectangular vinyl or fiberglass pool than on a concrete pool in an elevated style (think infinity pool or lagoon pool). Added features like heating, lighting, diving boards, or decking will increase your overall cost.

Aboveground pools take between one day to a few days to install, depending on the pool size and type. Your project may take longer if you’re planning to complete other projects simultaneously, like building a deck around the pool. If your land is hilly or rocky, you’ll also need to budget time for the land preparation. Aboveground pools need to be installed on a level surface.

In most states, it is a legal requirement to have a fence around your pool to protect both swimmers and pool owners. These laws can vary by state, city, and county, so you must research the specific regulations in your area before installation. The rules may also differ for inground versus above-ground pools, with inground pools typically requiring a full fence. Additionally, most homeowners' insurance providers will require a fence around a residential pool before providing coverage. As a general rule, it's always best to have a fence for everyone's safety.

The cost to maintain a pool depends on its size and condition. A one-time pool cleaning session costs around $250, and regular weekly maintenance costs $25 to $40 per week. You can get a discount if you buy services in bulk. Regular pool maintenance helps limit the number of repairs and identify signs of trouble.

A good rule of thumb is to add one or two 40-pound bags of salt for every inch of rain, but you’ll want to test your salt levels first to ensure you’re adding the right amount. Rainwater can dilute the salt levels in your pool, so after significant rainfall, test the levels and add the appropriate amount of salt to bring it back to the ideal level.
