"We had an outstanding experience with Chris and his team. They removed an old waterfall feature from our fiberglass pool that was constructed around 20 years ago. They removed existing brick coping and ceramic tile, and we replaced the coping with concrete coping, and added new glass tile. They also installed a new light (old one never worked for us) and a salt system. Chris listened carefully to our needs and delivered exactly what we were hoping for!! It looks new and we can’t wait for the warm weather to return!"

"Overall very pleased. Roger was the first to respond to my request for service. He was also quickly able to schedule time to asses my hot tub repair. He was generous in sharing his knowledge and recommending actions and equipment for good maintenance. He sent another person, Preston to install the new part. Preston also went out of his way and repaired the door to the cabinet of the hot tub."

"My electrician was TJ and he did an amazing job. First up was installing a new heavy chandelier in the dining room. He determined the junction box wouldn't hold the weight of the new chandelier and installed one that would. Chandelier install went great. He moved forward to installing electrical two wall sconces in the dining room. Going into this project I was fulling expecting the whole wall to require drywall repair. In the end, I have one small, very neat, hole in the kitchen that will need repair. The chandelier had two single wall switches in the dining room. He placed a dimmer on one switch and on the second he changed it out to two switches. One for the chandelier and one for the two wall sconces. This exceeded my expectations for the room. He wrapped up the day by installing a new bar light fixture of the vanity. TJ is a thoughtful and talented electrician. I'm more than pleased with the work performed and would recommend Fairway Electric."

"Scheduling was a breeze-I called about two weeks ahead, but it appears they could have helped me sooner(if only my schedule would have allowed). Scott called the morning of the appointment to confirm and give me his ETA(he was traveling from SC to Charlotte). Scott was very friendly and professional. His work was excellent and I feel much safer with the new smoke detectors in my home. He answered a number of questions I had about the installation process for the chandelier and the smoke detectors. He didn't charge me for installing the new doorbell button/cover and gave me a discount for buying and installing four smoke detectors. Tri City guarantees all their work for one year. Overall, I was very pleased with the entire experience."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

The average 12-by-24-foot in-ground pool costs $48,500, but depending on the features and materials, prices can trend even higher. You’ll spend less on a rectangular vinyl or fiberglass pool than on a concrete pool in an elevated style (think infinity pool or lagoon pool). Added features like heating, lighting, diving boards, or decking will increase your overall cost.

There are pros and cons of in-ground vs. above-ground pools, which you should consider when choosing the pool of your summertime dreams. Some factors to think about include: 

  • Above-ground pools are semi-permanent and movable, whereas in-ground pools are permanent structures.

  • In-ground pools are more expensive to install than above-ground pools. 

  • It takes one to three days to install above-ground pools and several weeks for an in-ground pool install.

  • You can install an above-ground pool in smaller yards, but you need plenty of space for an in-ground pool.

Building a pool yourself will take at least eight to 12 weeks. After all, this is the building timeline after hiring a pool contractor who knows how to draw up plans, analyze your landscape, and apply for proper permits. If you choose to tackle any part of the process alone, assume building a pool will take two to three months at a minimum.

There are a few differences when it comes to winterizing above- vs. inground pools. Above ground pool winterization usually involves less hassle, time, and expense than the process for winterizing an inground pool. All the lines on an above ground pool are easy to access, making draining easier. Plus, above ground pools are typically smaller, meaning cleaning is quicker, and chemicals cost less.

Spools can come as small as 10 x 6 feet, so they don’t take up a lot of room in your yard. You’ll want to plan for pool decking, fencing, and other features that may take additional space, but for the most part, a spool’s small footprint makes it a great choice when you don’t have much yard space to spare.
