"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."

"We are extremely pleased with the job Anthony & Sylvan did with our inground swimming pool installation. Our designer, Brian Montgomery, spent a lot of time with us to get the design right. Our Project Manager, Jake Driver, was extremely responsive. He was very good about keeping me informed and he always answered my calls & Texts immediately when I had a question. The support staff in the office did a great job of keeping us informed about all the steps along the way. The project was finished on time even though they had some water issues with our property that I expected to delay the project but this was not the case. I would and have, highly recommend Anthony & Sylvan for your swimming pools & spa needs."

Pool Construction and Installation questions, 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.

Yes, new home construction will always require building permits, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.

Costs depend on material quality, labor rates, and additional features like lighting or custom finishes.

If you or your mortgage lender think your land survey needs to be more accurate, double-check the survey report and get at least a second opinion from the original surveyor and an inspector, if possible. Although it’s unlikely, even reputable surveying companies can make mistakes. An inaccurate survey can cause problems down the road in the case of any property line disputes, so it’s best to resolve any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.

While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.
