"I highly recommend Brad We were in the process of selling our home and had to open repair and resurface our gunite pool that was 30 years old. He was able to drain the pool safely from all the debris, and repair any damage concrete, resurface and painted the pool. He also replaced the motor on the filter and re-piped all the pool lines. This was a huge job as the pool had not been opened in 4 years. He worked with our budget and was able to complete the entire job at a very reasonable cost ."

"One oven doesn't work at all ( my choice, see above), the "working" oven was never calibrated properly so using it is hit or miss. It's time to call American Home Shield to see about replacing the entire unit. I'm waiting to finish other home projects before calling them. I don't know if I'll request Greenway again."

"Our long relationship with Barcena’s was the result of our pool company using them as a preferred vendor for their customers concrete services. On top of the standard pool coping, decking and surrounding patio, our project included an inground spa vault and a sheer descent water feature. It was a significantly large project that required a very competent concrete company to build. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control this project took much longer than we ever anticipated, much of the delays were due to the cold weather months and extensive rain. I did feel the workers were a rough on our yard at times, but the work they do is quite intrusive on any property, it is concrete after all! Rest assured the quality of the concrete pour and stone work is impressive and built to last. All roads are tough, but you have to choose the one you know you’ll never be sorry for taking! Although the road we traveled with Barcena’s as our concrete contractor seemed long and hard, they do own up to any and all shortcomings appropriately and do stand behind their work. The key here is awareness, you have to make them aware and they will respond. Brian even made a special trip to evaluate our semi-finished product in person and vowed to deliver a product we will be proud of, and as promised within 48 hours we had the beautifully finished product we have been waiting for. We are exceptionally happy with the concrete work Barcena’s delivered in the end."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

A solar cover can heat your pool anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit over the course of 6 to 12 hours, depending on how much full sun your pool gets and how big it is. When used in conjunction with a solar pool heater, your pool will heat up even faster, all while using less energy than a traditional pool heater.

Hire a licensed pool contractor in your area with ample experience in your particular pool design. Pool contractors will walk you through both the design and installation process. They will also recommend or hire a team of subcontractors to manage clearing the land, excavating for the pool, and adding all the design and electrical touches that make your pool run smoothly.

You can spend less time and money on plunge pool maintenance since they are smaller than standard pools. These pools are easier to clean and maintain yourself than a swimming pool. But like any pool, you’ll need to clean the pool walls and floor, balance the chemicals, check the electrical equipment, make necessary repairs, etc.

There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.

The most expensive part of building a pool is typically the excavation and labor, which can account for 25% to 50% of the total project cost. This is particularly true for inground pools that require significant excavation, potentially including the rental of large equipment, and extensive construction labor. In contrast, above-ground pools are generally less expensive as they typically do not require excavation and can be installed much more quickly. Concrete in-ground pools are among the most labor-intensive options.
