"After having a horrific experience with a previous pool person I found shark pools. Owner called me immediately upon my inquiry and came out to assess the situation asap. Joe knew exactly what would be needed and put my pool back together with a new beautiful liner. I’m beyond pleased!! I’m so thrilled I found them!!"

"We love our new pool so much and its health benefits , we wanted to be able to use it 365. Until now nobody could provide us with the perfect solution. Per the attached installation video, our new automatic pool cover from East Coast Pool Covers will keep our pool warm enough to swim year round. We are also delighted with the extra benefits it offers including preventing animals from falling in, reducing pool cleaning time, improving our carbon footprint, and saving us lots of money in heating costs. â ¤ï¸ ð â â ï¸ ð ©ºð â ³ð ð µ"

"Paul is fantastic to work with and knows his stuff. Could not be any happier with the job he did replacing our pool liner. High quality job! My only regret is that I did not have him install my pool originally. Highly recommend them."

"Too many delays. But when it was all said and done?!! It was well worth the wait. They did an excellent job! Some of my neighbors who own pools and did not use A&S said they did a better job than the company they went with! That made my day, being this is our first pool. Thank you!"

Pool Construction and Installation FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.

This is fairly rare, but sometimes the local government or a group like a historical society will label a tree as a landmark, or historical item. These designations almost always come with a small, on-site plaque for identification, but you should also be able to look up protected trees in your area on a city website or similar list. If the tree in question is a landmark, call your local government and ask how to proceed before making any plans.
