I had used Alternative Energy Resources Inc. 10 years ago to do my solar hot water system and was very pleased with them for several reasons which I will get into later. When I made the decision to do a photovoltaic system I looked at several other companies. Alternative Energy Resources Inc. was cheaper than two and about the same as the third. I chose them and I am so glad I did. Barbara and Wendy in the office took care of almost everything from there on out and walked me through the few things I needed to do. They went so far as to explain and fill out the tax forms for the state and federal tax credits and to explain how the Envoy Monitor worked and how to go to the internet to monitor my systems performance. The installers could not have been more pleasant and professional. Our roof was over 30 years old and although we had not had any problems with it, I was unsure about putting a PV system on an old roof so I had the roof replaced first. The roofers called two to three weeks early and wanted to start the next day (long story why). I called Steven at Alternative Energy Resources Inc. and he sent his people out the next day to move the solar hot water panels to another area of the roof so the roofers could replace the roof under the panels. When the roofers had finished the area under the panels Steven at Alternative Energy Resources Inc. had his people come back to return the solar water panels so the roofers could finish. As soon as the roofers were finished Alternative Energy Resources Inc. came out and installed the PV system in two days. Then we had to wait a few days for the building inspection, the power company inspection and the new net metering meter to be installed by the power company. When all that was done I turned on the system and all was good. It has been about a month now and everything is working great.
One last comment. When we did our Solar hot water system 10 years ago I ask Steven from Alternative Energy Resources Inc. about repainting our metal roof before the installation and he said it was a good idea and even talked me through the process and then waited for me to finish. He could have just said it's not necessary and made the sale much sooner. This is just another example of why I feel that Steven has his customers' best interest at heart.

The original request was to reshape the fireplace. That ended up OK but she wanted to add pieces of tile directly in front of the fireplace. It sounded like a good idea so we agreed but halfway into it it looked awful so we asked her to make it the same as it was. She agreed and then charged us extra to restore it even though that was easier than if she had finished what she was doing. She also said she would get a nice piece of old barn wood for the spot for the TV. She showed up with pieces of lumber she had to fit together and it wasn't even close to what she described. There were also spots that she could not get smooth after several requests. We finally gave up and will fix it ourselves. During all this she did put plastic up to try and protect everything from dust but dust got everywhere. They partially cleaned mid-job but not at the end. I was left to clean the whole house. She said she had a cleaning lady we could hire but we feel that clean-up should be part of the job! During the initial meeting Erin made additional recommendations for the rest of the house, which is fine since we want to put the house on the market and we were open to suggestions, but as we found out, she promises more than she can deliver. She is very enthusiastic and has interesting ideas but she wanted to paint the whole house and it didn't need it. We did agree to have the lower room painted but she also suggested we remove the tile in that room and replace it with carpet since we were having problems with it cracking because it wasn't installed properly when the house was built. That was OK but she painted the room during the process of removing the tile and sanding the floor so huge amounts of dust landed everywhere in the house. She washed down the newly painted walls but you can tell where she did this and it still isn't clean. She also could not get the floor sanded smooth enough for the carpet installer. He had to leave the first time he came to install. She sanded more and the second time he came it still wasn't smooth enough so I had to pay him to do what she promised. I asked that she subtract the amount of money he charged from her bill and she did. She hired a handyman to install the baseboard in the room and to install new tile in the bathroom. Erin kept saying she would stain the baseboard to match the other stained wood in the room but it does not match. The quality of the baseboard is questionable since it appears slightly warped in spots. The tile was installed in the bathroom but then it was never sealed. I will end up doing that myself. The bathroom was left completely filthy. I told her I didn't understand how she could leave a workspace filthy so she had the bathroom cleaned. She also forgot to give the handyman all of the bathroom baseboard to install so he had to return the next day. We also had issues on our stairs where the previous owners had put some type of treads that left indentations. Erin assured us she could repair this. All she did was put more stain on the stairs. Erin's specialty is faux painting and we did not have that done. Perhaps she should stick with just that. I have never written a review this long or this negative but it was such a completely frustrating experience for us that I felt it was necessary.

FAQs for sauna installation projects in Volcano, HI
Pool repair costs vary depending on the type of pool. Repairing an inground pool ranges from $350 to $2,700, depending on the extent of the repairs needed. Repairs to an above-ground pool usually cost $100 to $700. The most common repairs include patching or replacing the vinyl pool liner, fixing plumbing or electrical lines, and repairing pumps, filters, and other equipment.
The cost to repair a hot tub or spa ranges from about $170 to $550, depending on the repairs needed. Some of the most common hot tub repairs include leaks, clogged filters, and tripped GFCI breakers. If it’s an electrical problem, you should contact a professional hot tub repair service. Don’t DIY electrical repairs on a hot tub, as poorly repaired wiring can make the hot tub a serious electrocution hazard.
The average cost of an above-ground pool is between $1,100 and $5,700. Costs will vary depending on the type of pool you install. The low end of the price range includes a DIY kit for around $800 and goes up to about $15,000 for a custom pool with extra features like a deck and water features. Building an above-ground pool is much faster than installing an inground one. The cost tends to be much lower for an above-ground pool than for an inground pool because there’s less labor involved, especially when it comes to excavation and running plumbing and electrical lines.
Installing an inground pool costs around $55,000, on average. The typical price range is between $39,000 and $70,000, depending on the size and type of pool and accessibility of the site. This project requires an experienced pool installation contractor as the project usually involves extensive excavation, plumbing, electrical, concrete, and careful grading of the concrete or pavers around the pool.
From start to finish, building an inground pool takes anywhere from two to four months. Factors that impact time to completion include any weather delays, material delays or shortages, scheduling conflicts, and any unforeseen challenges. The project may take most of the pool season, depending on where you live. Because of this, it’s a good idea to start getting estimates and finding a qualified pool company at least a year before your anticipated installation. Spring and summer is the busy season for pool contractors, which impacts their availability as projects are typically booked for several weeks if not months.
