"Dave arrived at the property on time and from the start I appreciated his professionalism.  He was very knowledgeable about the home's construction and immediately noticed safety hazards that I had overlooked upon my own, limited, cursory inspection.  None of the items he pointed out were deal-breakers, but before we went into final contract I was able to get the Sellers to repair these deficiencies (loose front pavers and handrails, leaking basement sink, uneven pavers around the pool, etc.).  He indicated which parts of the outdoor backyard wooden deck were subject to wood-rot and he also pointed out parts of the roof that might need a professional roofer to later address.  He pointed out that the water heater was ending it's useful life (over ten years old) and his concerns about the electric panel box (wattage input and wiring) were later addressed by the Seller to my satisfaction.  The professionals he brought in for the septic tank inspection utilized fiber optics, permitting a full examination of the septic tank, verifying that a new septic system had indeed been installed, correctly, as the Seller had asserted.  From the darkest corner of the basement to the dimly lighted attic, Dave gave valuable insights as to the construction-quality of the house.  I was very satisfied with his thorough report and the reports of the other inspectors.  Without reservation, I recommend Dave Polo & Associates very much!"

"Gregory and his staff did an excellent job! They collected and bagged leaves and cut grass in a very timely manner. They also neatly stacked up the bags of leaves on the curb and cleaned our gutters. We will definitely hire again!"

"From our first meeting with Mike we were sold on Custom Pool Pros and Paver Pros. We met with may other "custom" gunite pool installers who gave us the book to pick a shape from, not really custom when you pick a shape. Mike designed a pool to fit our yard and budget and provided us with a drawing of how it will look when its done.



Custom Pool Pros handled all the paperwork for permits and once approved the work started. Despite some rain delays the whole project, which has now grown from the original idea, is finished. Every time i had a change or question Tom was there to answer the question and provide his input when needed. Overall the experience has been great and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a superior quality "custom" pool.


Just to touch on details, Tom's guys are professionals, they take great pride in their work and it shows in every detail. They are very particular in everything they do down to the placement of each boulder or paver they place. We can't wait to enjoy our new pool and patio for years to come.



Custom Pool Pros handled our whole job from digging the hole, forming the pool, setting the slide, placing the boulders around the slide, installing the perimeter fencing and all 3200 sqft (give or take a few feet) of paver patio surrounding our pool.


This is a large expenditure and I don't regret one penny of the incredible backyard dream that Custom Pool Pros delivered."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

In most states, it is a legal requirement to have a fence around your pool to protect both swimmers and pool owners. These laws can vary by state, city, and county, so you must research the specific regulations in your area before installation. The rules may also differ for inground versus above-ground pools, with inground pools typically requiring a full fence. Additionally, most homeowners' insurance providers will require a fence around a residential pool before providing coverage. As a general rule, it's always best to have a fence for everyone's safety.

Building an inground pool is a job best left to the pros. Excavating the area and building the pool requires heavy equipment and specialized training, and pools have complex plumbing and electrical systems. Unless you’re experienced in these areas, you’re better off hiring a pool contractor to make sure the job gets done safely and correctly. 

You can build a plunge pool in an 8-by-8-foot space. Many plunge pools are about 8 to 12 feet wide, 2 to 24 feet long, and 4 to 8 feet deep. While these pools are smaller than your average swimming pool, you may want additional space for a deck or patio to surround the plunge pool.

No, pool jets should not have air coming out. While it’s a common problem, making it seem like air coming out is the norm, bubbling pool jets are a sign of loose bearings or fittings, or low water levels. You should get to the bottom of your jets releasing air bubbles because it could be a sign that there’s air entering the pump, which can shorten the lifespan of your pump or lead to costly repairs.

Because frogs require fresh water for survival, they can die from repeated exposure to swimming pool chemicals. Chlorine dehydrates frogs, which can lead to their deaths. To ensure frogs don’t hang out in your pool for long periods, safely remove them once you spot them in your pool and install a frog log so they can easily hop out on their own.
