Is it cheaper to build or buy a swing set?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/swing-set-cost.htm">average cost to build a swing set</a> is <b>$514</b>, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.</p></div>

Q: Are backyard playsets worth it?

• <div><p>Choosing a suitable backyard playset that&rsquo;s age-appropriate and entertaining for your children is worth the cost. A backyard playset you can update and upgrade as your kids grow offers even more benefits. Although a playset won&rsquo;t substantially increase your home&rsquo;s value, it won&rsquo;t negatively affect it either.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a good playground installer?

• <div><p>You can start by finding playground installers in your area that have amassed mostly positive reviews online. Next, search for the companies on the Better Business Bureau&rsquo;s (BBB) website to see if any consumer complaints have been filed. Once you rule out companies with poor reviews and a history of complaints, contact the remaining options and ask the following questions to find the right installer for you:</p><ul><li><p>Will you pull permits if required?</p></li><li><p>Do you offer a warranty?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect the installation to take?</p></li><li><p>Do you have experience working with the specific playground material I want?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should I build my own swing set?

• <div><p>It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren&rsquo;t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won&rsquo;t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.</p></div>

Q: Does outdoor living add value to a home?

• <div><p>In most cases, yes, an outdoor living space adds value to your home. The trick to your best return on investment is to choose high-quality building materials that will look nice and durable without crossing the line into total luxury that becomes cost-ineffective. For example, there&rsquo;s no need to install marble tiles around your pool, but a durable and aesthetically pleasing deck will go a long way.</p></div>

Poor service, relatively high pricing. Consistently failed to maintain pool and then would blame the equipment and ask to pay hundreds of dollars to fix it, only for it to be working entirely fine. When I called to cancel service, they refused to let me.

Brennan's is very thorough in their fall and spring inspections. They have saved us from needing new air pumps by noticing that the lawn maintenance people were cutting the coils when they trimmed around the units. They make recommendations for additional services but are not pushy. We have had...
