"BUYER BEWARE- Frank came to our house in October to give us a quote to resurface our cabinets, put in a new counter and sink. The cabinets were installed on December 1, 2020. Everything seemed to be above board. Frank was very nice, very professional. Two cabinet doors were measured incorrectly. Frank said he ordered the new doors and would call us when they arrived. He asked for full payment on December 1 and we agreed since everything seemed to be alright and he had been responsive to our calls. Two days after the installation our dishwasher stopped working. We called Frank because he had done work on the electrical installation. He never responded. We would call him, text him, several times a week, asking that he call us back regarding our doors and dishwasher. He never responded. It is now almost February 2021. We still have not received our kitchen doors that were wrongly measured. We have had to purchase them ourselves and hired someone install them. We have never heard back. Even if all work is completed, imagine what his response might be to warranty work. I am in the process of filing a small claim suit to get my money back. Buyer beware."

His rates are reasonable and he saved me a lot of time by providing materials for the job. I am definitely going to use him for my other bathroom. I like that my project was his sole job for the week and I didn’t have to extend the project with off days. He had a helper who was so respectful and kind.

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.
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.
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.
