"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."
"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."
"Tyler just charged his low hourly rate to cut down two fruit trees and cleaned up all the debris in less than 2 hours. He even took some other stuff to the dump for me without charging extra. I'm so pleased with his service, and look forward to having someone I trust (Tyler) come and take care of future needs."
"It sounds excellent—genuine, detailed, and enthusiastic. I’d make only a couple of small adjustments for smoother flow: Monty’s Handyman Services did an amazing job transforming my bedroom closet. They removed the old builder-grade wire shelving and replaced it with beautiful built-ins that completely transformed the space. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism were outstanding. I honestly could not be happier with the finished product. If you’re looking for high-quality work from someone who truly cares about the end result, I highly recommend Monty’s Handyman Services."
Pool Table Assembly questions, answered by experts
Yes, you should keep your pool pump running when adding salt, and leave it running for 24 to 48 hours. This will help circulate the salt to ensure even distribution. You will want to turn off your pool’s salt chlorine generator before adding salt and leave it off until it fully dissolves. Check your manufacturer’s instructions for steps specific to your saltwater pool maintenance.
How often you should add water to your pool depends on how quickly the water evaporates. Keep an eye on your skimmer box, if you have one. Top up the water in your pool if you notice the water levels are lower than the bottom third of your skimmer. This helps prevent damage to your pump.
Replace all the water in your pool every five to seven years, depending on how often you use your pool, the weather, and whether or not you close your pool for the winter.
An above-ground pool with a deck can increase your home's value by as much as 4% to 7%, but it depends on your local climate, potential buyers, and the size and condition of your pool. Some buyers see a pool as a liability instead of a luxury, especially if it's at the end of its life span. In general, it's best to add a pool and deck to your property if it will bring you enjoyment—not because it raises the value of your home.
Generally speaking, you should expect to wait 24 to 48 hours after filling a pool before you use it. However, the actual timeline depends on a few factors. Most importantly, you need to shock the water with chlorine or an alternative to swimming pool chlorine and let the concentration come down to a safe level before using the pool. Additionally, most water sources will be cold, and it can take days before the sun or your pool heater warms your water to a comfortable temperature. Alternatively, getting water professionally delivered could have you swimming in just a few hours.
Both above ground and inground pools can have pool liners. Inground pools made of gunite don’t need pool liners, and you’ve probably walked along an unlined pool and felt the ripples and ridges on the floors and walls. But adding a liner over gunite or other pool types helps protect the wall panels from algae growth.
