"With the guidance of Z&Z we were able to totally update our pool, cool deck, and equipment. Ozzie and his team of professional installers worked hard to move the project along. Some spring showers caused delays but we were always kept informed. The work area was kept clean. The first order of business was to repair a leak at the skimmer. Once that was done, Z&Z prepped the pool for replacing the old waterline tile and replastering. We were provided with a number of plaster options and encouraged to consider add-ins that we didn't know existed. The results are amazing! The coping is gorgeous travertine that will be sealed with a gloss finish to show off its texture and colors. The cool deck was updated and a lingering problem from the original pool construction (the electrical line from the light was placed above the deck but once hidden by a diving board removed long ago) was addressed. We can't wait for swim season! Pricing was transparent and fair. We recommend Z&Z to anyone looking for a solid company that provides great service."

"Norris Pools has been maintaining our pool for approximately six months now and we couldn't be happier. Bryan is always on time and very knowledgeable about the chemistry and mechanics of pools and spas. I wanted a company that would look after my pool the way they would there own and I found that with Norris Pools. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone.

"We had just finished demolition of a shed attached to our garage, and were trying to figure out the best option for getting rid of the debris - shingles, 2x4s, rafters, and so on. First we'd thought we'd rent a dumpster, but that looked too cumbersome and would take longer than we would want, including having a dumpster sit in the driveway for a week.
I found One's Junk on Angie's List and gave Manny a call. It was Saturday evening. We asked if there was any way possible to have them pick up the junk the next day - a Sunday. They were so very nice. I sent them some pictures via the phone, they gave me an approximate cost, and committed to being there at the house the next day to give us an exact quote - after which we were under no obligation to hire them. 
They came when they said they would, they were super, super friendly, went above and beyond the job by helping us remove some pesky bolts from the cement of the demolished shed with a saw (our saw had broken in the process), and our garage and backyard were clean and free of that mess of debris that would have been an eye sore and extra work for us had it not been cleared away by them.
It's been our experience that most contractors or folks working in and around your house do mediocre work that's just enough to get by.
Manny and Gregory are different. Feels like they actually do want to do the best job they can do. Thanks, Manny & Gregory! We hope to have you back soon when we do more home reno!

"We had Everic Pool replaster our 19,500 gallon pool back in 2020. We were super happy with the quality of work and super impressed at how good of a job they did. We decided to contact them again in January 2024 to have our pool retiled. It’s a family owned business, which impressed us in the first place. We had contacted other pool contractors and Everic Pool beat all their prices. Thank you Everic Pool! ?‍♀️"

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to kill off an algae bloom in an aboveground pool is to shock it with a large dose of chlorine. Shock typically kills off algae in about one to three days, although it can take longer if the pool water is in poor condition. After the shock treatment, add algaecide to prevent algae from growing back, and test the water every few days with test strips to ensure the pool’s pH doesn’t get out of whack.

The best paver for your pool deck depends on your budget, style, and how much maintenance you’re willing to invest. Granite is one of the best low-cost pavers for pool decks. It’s very slip-resistant and durable, too, making it a top pick. Travertine is a high-quality material that resists freeze-thaw cycles, looks stunning, and won’t get hot in the summer. The only downside to travertine is that it costs more than granite.

Installing a pool chiller can give you more control over the temperature of your pool, especially if you live in a climate with hot summers. Just a few degrees of cooling can make your swim feel more refreshing and allow you to use fewer pool chemicals by slowing down the growth of algae. You might not need a pool chiller if you live in a climate in which temperatures tend to dip at night.

You should always run your pool pump in freezing weather to keep the water moving. Doing so prevents the pool water from freezing and protects your pool from the damage that often comes along with frozen water. You should also run your pool pump when temperatures are approaching freezing, as a precaution. There’s no need to run a pool heater during the winter, as keeping water moving is generally enough to keep it from freezing.

A qualified pool contractor who is familiar with local regulations can assess your yard and let you know if it’s feasible to install a pool. Whether or not your yard is suitable for a pool depends on a number of factors, including the size of your yard, the placement of utility lines, your yard’s terrain, and more. It’s a good idea to see if it’s even possible to put a pool on your property before you get too far into planning.
