Can you build a pool yourself?

• <div><p>Evaporation causes up to 70% of outdoor pools’ energy losses, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Installers were on time with scheduled appointment. They took care to protect our flooring and bathroom sink. All prep work was done outside. They kept us informed of what they were doing, why they were doing it, and put up with my husband very well!!! They went above and beyond in...

The installer was very polite and did a good job with the shower/tub conversion to a walk-in shower. The install process was relatively smooth and quiet with minimal interruption to our house. I am glad I hired BathPlanet to do the install.

Took a lot of time to go over my options including financing if needed. Were able to do the install within a few days of my purchase. The installers were very experienced and worked through their lunch in order to get the job done as quickly as possible.

The owner's demeanor is rough and abrupt and hung up the phone a few times and even told me not to call back...what kind of business does this? He seemed upset that we did not hire him to build our pools and did not seem to have the time for small jobs.

Clearview has been very quick to open the pool. They work on weekends to accommodate pool openings. They do a good job and remain the most reasonable in price in the area.

Installed a drip system through my yard. He had to wait for the plants to come in but had it done right after they arrived. He also, installed pavers on one side of my house. He had to do a lot of cutting but it came out really nice.
