Does a pool enclosure increase home value?

• <div><p>If you live in an area where pool enclosures are expected, like in Florida, having one won't necessarily increase your home value. However, it's worth noting that in warm climates, a pool can add $11,600 to $95,000 to a home's value. </p><p>On the other hand, if you're in an area where pool enclosures are not common, having one might set your home apart from the crowd. Depending on the appraiser, you may see an additional $25,000 to $27,000 or more for an enclosed, inground pool when it comes time to sell.</p></div>

Q: Are you required to have a fence around a pool?

• <div><p>In most states, it is a legal requirement to have a fence around your pool. Laws vary by state and city, so check with your state and local government for regulations specific to you. Additionally, most homeowners' insurance providers will require some type of fence surrounding a residential pool before they provide coverage.</p></div>

Q: Can a retaining wall be a pool fence?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-retaining-wall.htm">retaining wall</a> can only function as a fence if it&rsquo;s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn&rsquo;t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall. </p></div>

Q: How do I keep animals out of my pool heater?

• <div><p>Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater. As a final measure of protection, you can cover the pool heater in hardware cloth or wood paneling to further block entry points.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What is the safest pool fence?

• <div><p>The safest pool fence depends on what you&rsquo;re trying to protect against. If you&rsquo;re concerned about children and pets, a fence with gaps between or under the material isn&rsquo;t advisable, as they could get through it. Mesh fences tend to reach the height requirements needed for pool fence safety, although they are not the most durable. Solid fence types, such as wood, concrete, or stone have the best chance of protecting the surface area around a pool, so long as they are high enough to discourage anything, or anyone, from climbing over them. </p></div>

The installers were courteous and great to work with. We had over 30 windows installed, which obviously took some time. It was obvious towards the end that they were getting pressure from the top to get done. There were some issues with our new patio door that did not get completed correctly....
