"We recently hired Serenity Pools to build our in-ground swimming pool and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional. They took the time to understand our vision, gave great suggestions, and kept us in the loop every step of the way. The quality of work is outstanding and the pool looks amazing. They left the site clean each day and finished on schedule. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a pool."

"I found Pleasure Pools very accommodating to work with. They went out of their way to aquire some of the unique materials needed to make our pool look and feel like we wanted including a waterfall and natural stone boarder. They created a beautiful pool and spa in my limited backyard space. Their ongoing service has been excellent. We love our pool. We would recommend their pools and service to anyone looking to get a beautiful, quality pool at an affordable price."
"USE THIS COMPANY! A+++++++++++++ JD is easy to work with. His word is his bond. Honest, trusting, does what he says. You will not go wrong with JD and his company. Now the details! I a SO happy with the result. I just hated to look at the old pool. The pool was probably 30 years old. Someone had painted the surface in places and overall the pool was in sad, sad shape. There were other things I could have done but I just didn't want to spend the money. But, what I did was well worth it! There were 3 phases of the project: Phase 1 = Remove the old plaster. There was a crew of 5 men that us jack hammers and other various tools to remove the majority of the plaster down to the gunite. I have to note that I did not expect that amount of work - I had an idea it would just be a skim coat sort of job. That took 2-3 days. Phase 2 = Replaster the surface. Again, 5-7 men working on that phase. That was 1 day because the plaster moves fast. These people were "artisans" for lack of a better word. The stairs had been chipped away in phase 1 and I never thought they'd make them look right. WRONG - they look great, as does the rest of the surface. Then the pool had to immediately be filled with water so the pool doesn't come out of the ground and to set the plaster (I guess). I used ground water and it tood 3+ days to fill. Of course the pool water looked brown from all the minerals. JD the owner came out and added chemicals and things looked better in a few hours, but took a few days to look like pool water. (this was expected). Phase 3 = form up the opening that the old pool cover sat in and then pour cement. After that 2-3 people came out and tiled over the cement. The great part of this was that the old tile was not available and the replacement tile that was chosen couldn't get in a small supply. JD the owner thought outside the box and bought brick and cut the brick down (sliced it). IT WORKED - it looks great. JD is a very nice guy. He had a number of projects going, but never forgot my project. The project didn't quite come in on schedule because it's the rainy season and all this had to be juggled. But seriously, most projects take longer than originally scheduled. "
"Jake and his team were amazing from start to finish. They went above and beyond, in my opinion, and made sure that everything was done correctly. Our pool is beautiful and he literally did have us swimming in days! I highly recommend."
"Customer service was great to work with. However they said I was responsible for chemicals but the first thing the text did was put chemicals in the pool and charge me for them."
Pool Construction and Installation questions, answered by experts
Land surveys are worth it in several scenarios including selling your home, building an addition, constructing a fence, or making major changes to your landscape. A professional land survey can help you avoid legal issues with your neighbors and confirm the value of your property. In many cases, you may be required to order a land survey to receive a construction permit or mortgage loan.
Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the professionals you hire if you need a perc test. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails.
If a buyer pays for a survey, the surveyor they hired will only provide results to them. It’s up to the buyer whether they share the survey results with the seller or not, even if they ultimately walk away from the deal. It’s considered good faith to share the results with the seller, though, especially if you back out of the deal, as the seller can then provide that survey to future interested parties.
Land surveying can help give clear guidance on your property boundaries for numerous situations. And in some cases, having your land surveyed is a requirement. Some common reasons to have your land surveyed include:
Planning for construction projects, like building a fence
Locating utilities, such as plumbing fixtures
Settling property line disputes
Creating subdivisions
Meeting mortgage requirements
Selling your property
A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:
Boundary surveys describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued.
Location surveys provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property.
Mortgage location surveys are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy.
Site-planning surveys are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements.
Topographic surveys provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements.
