"WOW - working with Jaime and his crew was remarkable. They plastered my 44 ft X 18 pool, changed out two pumps, replaced jets, fixed my heater, and spent meticulous detail to make sure the pool was open and running before they wrapped up the job. They were professional, courteous, responsive, and truly cared about my concerns. Jaime came out and gave me a quote the same day I requested it on Home Advisor. They addressed everything perfectly. They also made certain to clean up after each day so there was no mess around since the job took 6 work days in total. The crew arrived promptly each morning between 7 and 8, and stayed until the day's work was done. I received quotes from many other larger firms - all were about 20 - 25% higher cost that JV's Pools. You should have no hesitation using a smaller firm like JV's! I was concerned at first since it was such an important job but was SO GLAD with the decision. What I noticed was that working with a smaller 'boutique' firm like JV's pools made the personal experience and customer service that much better. I could always call the owner on this cell phone, even in the evening, and he could answer any questions I had. Jaime and he lead foreman all have over 30 years experience with pool construction and repair before they started their own firm (I cannot verify this but this is what they told me - and I believe it). Also important to note - other pool companies I have worked with in the past always tried to 'keep me stupid'. I am a new pool owner (I bought a home with a pool in 2010) and the companies would services the pool, open the pool, and close the pool in a way that felt like they were intentionally avoiding me so I could never ask questions, thus always be dependent on them. Jaime and his team did the opposite. They gave me tons of practical advice on being a pool owner - - - and the guy who does service that they work with took the time to even show me how to use the complicated chemical testing kit that i never really understood (I used test strips, but now I will use the test kit). I even learned more about my heater - - - who knew! Thanks Jaime, Freddy, Raymond, Herman and the rest of the crew! Well done."

"There was a terrible storm overnight and my pool and spa looked horrific my pool was green and had a bunch of leaves and branches in it, I was hosting a big party for an engagement celebration the next day, so I was very stressed out, I had called other pool companies and received no response, when I reached out to Marco, he responded right away, was very empathetic to the urgency of my situation and he was able to come first thing in the morning and he made my pool look amazing! He’s a very honest and extremely professional person, I will only ever trust him to work on my pool from now on! He’s the best person you can ever hire to work on any and all of your pool needs!"

Pool Construction and Installation questions, answered by experts

While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

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. 

A professional land surveyor ensures accurate property boundaries and prevent legal disputes.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.
