"This place has terrible customer service and doesn't care about small pool purchases (they only prioritize big projects). As of May 14, 2020, I paid (down payment) for a 16' pool from Russo's Pools. I was told my pool would be installed in July 2020. The installer was to go out to look at the site within 1 week. They never did. I called and got no one, only leaving a message or the phone just ringing. This was all last summer 2020 with no communication. I contacted Russo's pool in March 2021 and was told they didn't have my pool nor had any idea what happened. They have given me the run-around since. I was told the installer would call me, and week after week, they did not. Not until I asked to speak to the owner that the installer called me, stating he had JUST gotten my number. The owner discussed them obtaining and installing an 18' pool to make things right. Anthony Russo is now stating he never said that; he says he only said he would look into it. All discussions about pool and site were about 18'. Even the assistant I have been talking to this week has been checking deliveries for the 18' pool and working on getting one. Anthony Russo says he can't do that, and I am here 334 days later and NO pool."

We are a small, family-owned and operated business with 13 full-time employees. We all live locally and are proud to provide excellent service and excellent quality products to all our customers. We invite everyone to visit us in person so you can see who and what we are about.

"Back in 2006, Hearth and Home installed a gas insert into my wood burning fireplace. Their work was superb. Over the years, they serviced my gas insert every other year (cleaning). In 2017, I decided to redo the look of the fireplace. I contacted Hearth and Home. The staff was excellent throughout the entire process. I had some ideas, but they helped those ideas become a reality. The gentleman in the showroom helped me with the materials and look of the fireplace and provided and estimate. Then someone came to my home to ensure that what was being requested was feasible. While at my home he mentioned a couple of ways some situations could be done. I was thankful for his expertise. We were able to eliminate an electrical cord that had been used to power the blower on the fireplace. They also eliminated a big price of the insert which allows the stone of the fireplace to shine through. The gentleman arrived on time each day and cleaned up before they left each day. I am thrilled with the results. I can recommend Hearth and Home without hesitation."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

In most states, it is a legal requirement to have a fence around your pool. Laws vary by state and city, so check with your state and local government for regulations specific to you. Additionally, most homeowners' insurance providers will require some type of fence surrounding a residential pool before they provide coverage.

Depending on your budget, wants, and needs, a pool enclosure can be a worthwhile investment. It all comes down to how much you use your pool, and what it would mean to you to have year-round access to it.

If you know that you'll swim in your pool a lot, then having an enclosure means you don't have to worry about the weather. It's also a lot easier to maintain the water, because you don't have to deal with leaves falling into the pool, and the water's chemical levels tend to be more stable.

If you live in an area where pool enclosures are expected, like in Florida, having one won't necessarily increase your home value. However, it's worth noting that in warm climates, a pool can add $11,600 to $95,000 to a home's value. 

On the other hand, if you're in an area where pool enclosures are not common, having one might set your home apart from the crowd. Depending on the appraiser, you may see an additional $25,000 to $27,000 or more for an enclosed, inground pool when it comes time to sell.

There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.

Yes, with proper heating or cooling systems and energy-efficient glazing.
