"I called several HVAC companies and none were able to respond immediately. Then I spoke to Shawn at Climate Master. He was able to diagnose the problem over the phone . It wasn't something that could be fixed that day. But Shawn stopped in on his way to another call just to verify that he was correct in his assessment. It was so reassuring and he called the office to make sure someone could come the next morning. Chuck came out Monday morning and took care of everything quickly to have our AC up and running. Turns out part of the problem was an improperly set fan speed when the AC was installed. This is a great company, trustworthy and efficient. Thanks so much to Angie's List for helping me find them!!"

"John answered on the first call and came by the same day to see the work and give me a price. 2 days later he had his crew there on time and ready to work. They went above and beyond and made sure to not only remove everything from the home but also haul everything away so I wouldn't be stuck with all the garbage. I would hire them again and will be referring them to people."

"We had let our pool go, lots of leaves and debris in the pool. John was great! Came out the following day, performed all that was asked and then some. Trouble shooted our filter, made recommendations for future maintenance. I would definitely recommend them to perform all your pool service needs. Jason-Mokena"

If ANYTHING wasn’t exactly how I wanted it- Masonry Doctors: Rolando and his team ensured it was corrected immediately. He cares a lot about leaving his customers happy. You are in good hands with Masonry Doctors."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

Hire a licensed pool contractor in your area with ample experience in your particular pool design. Pool contractors will walk you through both the design and installation process. They will also recommend or hire a team of subcontractors to manage clearing the land, excavating for the pool, and adding all the design and electrical touches that make your pool run smoothly.

Costs depend on size, additional features, and site preparation requirements.

Yes, you will need building permits for an inground pool, and your pool installation company should pull them for you. The permit filing fee will usually sit between $400 and $1,800, and it should appear on your contract or invoice. You may want to confirm with your contractor that they will pull all necessary permits. You might also need a permit for a new fence, as many municipalities have special fencing requirements for properties with pools. A fence permit costs between $50 and $500. This expense may not be included in your pool installation estimate.

Losing some water from splashing and evaporation is normal. However, if you notice a rapid drop in the water level or are adding water more frequently than usual, you might have a leak. Other common signs of a pool leak include:

  • Unexplained soft, mushy, or wet spots in the yard.

  • Cracks in the pool's structure or falling tiles.

  • Higher-than-normal water bills.

  • Persistent algae growth or water discoloration.

  • Standing water near the pump, pipes, or other pool equipment.

Most importantly, you should never cut corners when building a pool. Whether it’s an in-ground or aboveground, poorly constructed pools are dangerous to both the swimmers and your property. Leaks can even lead to home foundation damage. While you can DIY smaller elements of pool installation, always hire a contractor to oversee the process.
