"Joseph and Sons just completed a retaining wall install for us and we could not be more pleased! Angelo used precise laser measurements to get everything exact. He offered expert suggestions and options that made decisions much easier. He explained the process in detail and kept us informed as work was being done. Angelo and his team are professional and courteous. Pricing is very fair and he takes pride in his work. Results are exceptional and we will definitely use his services again for other projects!"
"I took a chance with CSZ construction because Home Advisor reviewers were so positive-- and I am glad I did. Cesar, the owner, is a very competent professional who did most of the work himself. He weatherproofed my balcony door, fixed a window and replaced the water line of my refrigerator. His prices are very competitive and he will be my go-to repairman from now on."
"The services provided were done in the most efficient manner. Workmen were polite and professional. Communication with team members was top notch and responsive. I would use Handy Man of So. Or, Westfield, Scotch Plains, and Metuchin for any repairs I need. I am sure you will be equality satisfied should you chose to use them."
"Bryan was awesome! He put three pieces of furniture together for me. All had electrical components to it. He also dismantled and unloaded all of the furniture that was here already. This was all after a fresh 4 inch snowfall. He was dedicated and friendly and made sure everything worked and was to my liking. Additionally, communication with A1 was exceptional and they were very reasonably priced. I would 100% use them again. My son is so happy for his new bedroom setup and my back is so happy for my new standing desk. Thank you Bryan and A1 Construction!!!"
Pool Table Assembly questions, answered by experts
Yes, adding a pool to your property will almost always increase your homeowners insurance premiums. This is because pools are considered hazardous, which increases your home's liability risk. The replacement cost of the pool itself is also factored into your home's rebuilding cost when determining coverage limits. The amount of the increase can vary from as little as $50 to several hundred dollars more per year, depending on your insurance company, location, current coverage, and installed safety features. It is best to contact your insurance agent before installing a pool to get an estimate, understand their specific guidelines, and factor the ongoing cost into your budget.
The best time to buy a lap pool is during the fall. While you might not be able to enjoy it for long, you’ll be happy with the money you save. Since fall and winter are the slow seasons for pool companies, they may offer specials or discounts. Talk to a pool installation company in your area to see what deals they have available.
You don’t need to drain the whole pool to patch a pool liner, but be prepared to dive in with your swimsuit and goggles to patch a leak below the water level. By draining the pool, you can actually expose the liner to more harsh conditions, like wind and sunlight, that cause the tears to worsen. It’s best to use the ink test and waterproof patches or tape to identify the leak and patch it up.
It's not ideal, and if your pool’s pH is seriously low (below 7), swimming can be dangerous until you raise it, potentially causing severe irritation and damage to the skin and eyes.
Keep in mind that low pH can also be responsible for damaging the pool itself. Acidic water can contribute to the cracking of your pool's liner, which may cost up to $2,500 to replace, making this an expensive fix.
Yes, it’s possible to put too much salt in your saltwater pool, and doing so can cause a number of problems, including corroding metal parts and causing the chlorinator to stop working correctly. In general, slightly elevated salt levels won’t cause serious problems beyond salty-tasting water, but you should dilute the water in a pool with extremely high salt levels to prevent damage to its components.
