"Project went as communicated. Russo's communicated all the steps and the project went as expected. Installed a 30x15 fiberglass pool with slide. They recommended great features with lights and the pool slide works great. The pool was great to use over the summer and is ready for 2016 as well. We have an auto cover which is highly recommended to keep out debris from the pool. The pool is beautiful and we love it."

"The technician that worked on our above ground pool, I believe her name is AJ, is wonderful and very knowledgeable. She thoroughly inspected all of our equipment and managed to get our pool filtration system running better than it has in years (we tried several other pool services before JIT). When we eventually needed a replacement pump, she did a wonderful job installing the new one and we have had no problems since!"

"I brought the damaged lamp in for repair on August 8th.  The base was very loose and off center.  They repaired the lamp in less than 10 minutes.  We discussed the repair of the existing shades for both lamps and it was determined that this would be very expensive.  We looked at some similar oval shades in the shop, but only could find one that looked good on the one lamp that I had brought in.  The shop told me it would take 4-6 weeks to order and receive the two shades.  I decided to place the order and put down 50%.  Before I left the shop he gave me two harps to accommodate the new shades when they arrived.  On September 23rd I got a call that the shades were ready and picked them up. 

They were very accommodating and friendly.  I would use them again and recommend them to anyone who has a broken lamp.  They also have a large array of antique and collectible lamps and chandeliers as well as shades.  It was worth driving from Mundelein  to Chicago to have this work done, but hated paying that miserable Cook County 10% sales tax.

Pool Construction and Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property’s boundaries is needed. While you’re not required to file survey documents, it’s a good idea to do so. 

Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the cost of land development projects.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

To hire a land surveyor, you need to start by searching online for reputable professionals in your area. Here are a few steps to take when making a shortlist:

  • Browse land surveyor service website

  • Check credentials

  • Read customer reviews

  • Find their contact information

  • Call or email to inquire about more information

  • Ask how far they travel, if you’re some distance away

  • Find out how they charge for their services

  • Ask about schedule and turnaround times

  • Repeat these steps for one to two other services and compare pricing

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
