"We had been dealing with a broken seal on our pool for several months with our previous pool company with no success. One phone call to Chris of Pools of Dreams and he responded immediately and was at our home fixing it within hours! Pools of Dreams is now our pool company and I strongly recommend them."

Customers say: True professional

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
