I highly recommend...
Prestige Pool ServicesGreat service so far. My pool has rarely looked as nice.
The project was completed in a very professional manner. The final results were exceptional with the highest quality you could hope for. I will hire them in the future and will highly recommend SEA Services Unlimited to friends and neighbors.
SEA Services UnlimitedThey were quick to respond and listened to us about the problems we were having with algae in our pool and the filters needing to be cleaned. Willing to take the extra step to help even though what we needed wasn't usually the service they provided. Did not have to be reminded...
Woodlands Pool ExpertsContacted Parrot Head Pool Service by email. Their service department responded the same day to schedule a service call. The service tech Jay was polite and professional. Every question I asked he answered and seemed to be very knowledgeable. After he diagnosed the problem he got to work...
Parrot Head Pool ServiceIt is very difficult to find a quality person to take care of you pond and these people are absolutely excellent and we've gone through like five services. They've been able to maintain my pond in excellent condition when nobody else wasn't able to. I don't have green water anymore. The guys...
We tried two other pool service companies before staying with Esposito Pools. They had a great price with chemicals included, were punctual and had no problems with our dog in the backyard. We move in December 2008 to an area that they did not service.

"I engaged CFP Remodeling & Construction (out of Pearland) for landscaping services at my East End property, which included installing approximately 165 sq feet of St. Augustine sod. Shortly after installation, I observed that a significant portion of the sod was not healthy. I reached out to Jessenya Akerman at CFP Remodeling & Construction, who indicated they would inspect the issue. Despite several delays, Ms. Akerman suggested that increased watering might resolve the problem. After spending $90 on additional watering, the sod remained in poor condition. I contacted Ms. Akerman again; although assurances were made about revisiting, no follow-up occurred. Eventually, I received an email explaining that personal circumstances had caused the delays and promising efforts to rectify the situation. However, subsequent correspondence stated that the company considered the installation complete and did not plan further action. Based on my experience, I found communication inconsistent, scheduling unstructured, and customer service lacking in follow-through. Therefore, I am unable to recommend CFP Remodeling & Construction and would advise considering other reputable landscaping providers on the island for your home improvement needs."

Installing an outdoor water fountain costs $2,700 on average, not including the cost of the unit. Prices range from $150 to $10,650, depending on your location, the type of fountain, size, and accessibility to the site. Self-contained fountains and water features recirculate the water within the unit. Depending on size and features like multi-tiered cascading bowls, they typically cost from $50 to $5,000. More elaborate fountains with waterfalls and ponds can cost from $450 to $10,000 or more.
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
You can choose several types of fountains to add to your backyard, ranging in size, number of basins, and special water features.
Check out the price ranges of common fountain types:
Birdbath fountains: $40 to $1,100
Cascading fountains: $40 to $2,000
Tiered fountains: $100 to $6,000
Kugel fountains: $150 to $5,000
Glass wall fountains: $100 to $3,000
Consider the pros and cons of installing a water fountain in your backyard:
Pros
Fountains can add beauty to your backyard.
Creates a relaxing space to enjoy in your yard.
Water features can add more value to your home.
Cons
Regular maintenance is necessary.
Upfront and maintenance costs can escalate quickly.
Space may not permit you to install the fountain you want.
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
