It came down to three strong contenders, Riverbend, Advance and Gold Medal Pools. All three had good recommendations and made very professional proposals. The prices for the project ranged from over $100K to $65 for the stripped down version (so yes, there are big differences in price). Riverbend fell roughly in the middle and they were willing to move on price to meet where we wanted to be. Advance (Brian) Pools is a much smaller company, but very competent so would absolutely consider them in the future, but in the case they were not very competitive in terms of the product offering compared to the two larger companies. In reviewing their proposal, I would highlight following strengths: - 1/2" Rebar (much stronger than the 3/8" that most pool companies use) - Very competent in terms of equipment offering (I personally like Jandy) - Smart approach to plumbing your pool by running pipes through a single trench so they are easier to service -Design in terms of Spa - recommended a Captain's Chair (4 jet chair) in the spa, which was a great idea. -Most of the people who would work on your pool are their employees (higher accountability), but still some contractors (ask this question) -They use dry gunite, which is shot in place (stronger) -Gravel rock base instead of just sand and they build walls on own footing (not on deck) Weaknesses: -They tend to use the cheaper rocks and boulders for copping (Oklahoma River & Flagstone) instead of Arkansas, which is harder -Hank is a nice guy, but got a bit impatient with us toward the end and was ready to move on to the next customer -Design was not as good as some of the others (less creative) and they did not have the 3d modeling demo that most places use, which really helps you visualize what its going to look like. -they push Salt systems, which have more reliability issues and require more maintenance for your rocks and decking Ultimately, it was a very tough decision and I feel we would have likely been happy if we had gone with them as they are quality company. Interestingly, when we made the decision to go with their competitor I held off communicating to them for a few days in case anything went wrong (which we know can happen) and I never heard from Hank. I would have thought he would contact me to find out what I was doing, but never heard from him. Made me feel a little better about our decision though. I would have shared this feedback with him as well. Ultimately, I would say they are a quality organization and if you like their design then you could do a lot worse than working with them. A couple of tips for people building pools: -Negotiate the sewer and gas reroute into the cost of the pool (unless you are 100% sure its not going to be touched as it will) -Negotiate ANYTHING you think you want upfront as the day you sign the contract, EVERY change costs you. -Over estimate your decking as you will want more, trust me. It doesn't cost anything to reduce it later as the cost is 2X once you agree to move forward... -Review the plans in detail, THEY ALL PROMISE things that don't show up in the plan. Over-clarify and GET IT IN WRITING! They quickly "forget" what they promised to do. I have had to do a couple times already... -IT will take longer than you think, it always does...6 weeks? No way, 8-10 weeks is far more realistic if its an intricate pool. -Negotiate any landscaping repair you want UP FRONT, or you will get your yard back looking like a moonscape...they do not replace grass unless you specifically ask in the contract... -All pool companies try to get as much up front as possible, keep in mind that you want to hold back about 10% to make sure they finish the job. They will push back, but will take the work and you get piece of mind that it gets done.

The sales person was very professional and knew his business. They worked with us on the date and were flexible in that they allowed us to move half one and half the next. They will give you free (used) boxes if you move with them, which will save you money and their people at the warehouse are very friendly. All of the pre-move experience was A+, the rating comes from the day 1 vs day 2 experience. Day 1: They showed up on time and ready to go with a 5 man crew. They were professional and worked quickly to load our belongings. They moved everything we asked without damaging our belongings or our home(s). They loaded until about 1:00 and then unloaded until close to 6pm. They put the boxes in the rooms as labeled and assembled beds, furniture for us. Great first day. Day 2: They showed up on time again, but with only a four man crew. The foreman was the same, but clearly he was in a hurry to get us moved and the results reflect it. They loaded up our home until about 1:00 (leaving several things behind). They came to our new house and began unloading. The first couple of hours were ok, but as the day wore on they began to get sloppy. The scratched our furniture, our hardwood floors, and walls. By about 5, they were clearly ready to go (really the foreman was, which impacted the rest of the crew). We noticed that they were starting to put boxes wherever just to get done (we had to tell them to move them and still found them all over the house later). Post move, they were very professional and have so far fixed all of the damaged furniture (they don't replace, but repair really) so you have to weigh the $500 for insurance. They have repaired the damage to our carpets (cleaned), but have not come to fix the damage to our walls yet (which is too long as our move was a month ago). I think they are basically good people, but would be very aware that the attitude of the foreman will significantly impact the quality of your move experience so to make sure you get a good one and if you sense issues, call their Rep immediately so that things get done correctly.

What a huge surprise!! He clearly explained what was going on with my home and detailed the exact services that I was needing. In addition to this good news, he didn't even charge me a service call.

Concrete Repair questions, answered by experts
No, hairline cracks in concrete are generally not a problem as they do not impact the strength and longevity of the concrete. Generally, cracks less than 0.3 millimeter wide don’t impact the structure. Hairline cracks can grow over time and weaken the structure, such as in a home foundation. Some hairline cracks can also cause leaks in a foundation. It’s important to watch the cracks to see if they grow. Contact a concrete contractor if you notice cracks exceeding 0.3 millimeter wide.
No, house settling is normal as your home’s foundation settles into the soil below and as the framing of your home shifts as it expands and contracts with changes in temperature and moisture. However, if you get to the point where your doors and windows aren’t opening easily, your floors are uneven, or you can visibly see that your roof line is wavy or uneven, you are more likely to have foundation issues.
Yes, sustainable mixes and sealants minimize environmental impact.
Foundation repair can affect home value positively or negatively. If you address the underlying issue and hire a foundation repair contractor to complete the work—especially one that includes a warranty for the work—then your repair will likely increase your home’s value. If you fail to pull proper permits and cannot prove that a licensed expert completed the work, there’s a chance buyers will view your home in a negative light and end up offering less for your property.
Visible cracks, scaling, flaking, and uneven surfaces indicate a bad concrete job. Additional signs vary depending on the project. You may notice poor drainage or even exposed rebar. Quality issues result from using the wrong concrete, rushing the work, or inexperienced workers completing the job.
