"Santiago worked on a Sunday to help me install a very heavy fountain. He measured perfectly and also made the fountain level on the patio that had a slight slope. He communicated clearly and was eager to work. I would recommend him as a great handyman and I will definitely hire him again this summer."
"There are a couple of ways to get this faucet that we needed to remove. This man did things right, all five pieces of tile removed stayed intact, he was very astute about getting the old minerals off, was very through with the assembly of the faucet (trying to keep it low) and finally he assembled the rest of it so it could be done all at once. I would highly recommend Steve. He’s a keeper."
"Scott from SURV of Ogden was professional. He showed up on time and got the job done fast. He did not go over the estimate he gave me and fixed my closet shelving so it won’t fall off the wall again. I will use them again in the future."
"Team performed excellent work on bathroom cabinet and caulking tub. They arrived on schedule, performed quality work, and were pleasant in providing additional guidance on possible future projects."
"Justin contacted me the same day I put in my request for bids. He came the next day to give me a bid and it was so reasonable and fair I didn't feel the need to get another bid. He completed the work the same day. He came to give me the bid at 10:30 am and completed the work by 1:00 pm. the work was excellent and high quality. He was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend his work."
"They were super professional! Quick to respond and knew their stuff. We didn't end up needing them but we will definitely consider using them in the future since we know they will be reliable, professional and prompt."
Pool Table Assembly questions, answered by experts
Concrete pools have the longest life span. As long as you properly maintain your concrete pool, you can expect it to last 50 to 100 years. That said, you will need to resurface your concrete pool as it ages. Fiberglass is durable, but fiberglass pools generally only last around 25 to 30 years. That said, some high-end fiberglass pools can last more than 50 years if they’re well-maintained.
Yes, pool pumps use a significant amount of electricity, making them one of the biggest energy consumers in a home. A pool pump can use up to three times as much electricity as a refrigerator. Typically, a residential pool pump consumes about 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) for every hour it runs. Because pumps often need to run for about eight hours a day to properly filter the water, this can add up to an annual consumption of 3,000 to 5,000 kWh, which can cost between $480 and $800 per year based on average electricity rates.
The amount of electricity your pump uses depends on its size, energy efficiency, and daily run time. To lower your energy consumption, you can choose an energy-efficient or variable-speed pump, ensure it is correctly sized for your pool, and run it only for the minimum time required to keep the water clean.
Calcium lumps in a pool are calcium deposits that form when a pool's water parameters are not in the normal range. They can float around on the surface of the pool water, making it look and feel dirty. The most common causes of calcium lumps in pools are calcium hardness above 1,000 ppm, alkalinity over 120, and a pH over 7.8. Keeping your pool’s calcium levels, alkalinity, and pH levels within the normal, safe ranges is the best way to prevent calcium lumps and other problems, including damage to the pool surface.
Round and freeform pools are popular choices for a small backyard, although a small yard may be able to accommodate a variety of shapes. When planning a pool for your small yard, remember to take into account pool deck space, fencing requirements, and other pool-related factors that may limit your choices.
Pool leaks most commonly occur at joints or where different materials meet. The most frequent leak spots include:
The Pool Skimmer: Where the plastic skimmer meets the pool's liner or shell.
The Pool Liner: Tears can develop in vinyl liners, especially those between 5 and 20 years old. Leaks also occur around the liner's edge.
Fittings and Accessories: Areas around return lines, the main drain, and pool lights are common culprits.
Pool Equipment: The pump, filter, and filter housing can also leak.
While leaks in underground pipes are less common, they can be costly to fix. It's usually best to check the more common spots before investigating the plumbing system.
