"We made the mistake of not using Ari and her team and we regret it... They were super professional! Unfortunately we used someone our contractor recommended and didn't get what we had hoped for. Don't make the same mistake we did :)"
"I contracted Josue Deleon to renovate the interior and exterior of a single family residence that was in disrepair. He was professional, hardworking, and knowledgeable regarding construction practices. He completed the project timely and on budget.
Mr Deleon was very conscientious about saving money. He spent a considerable amount of time researching and evaluating needed materials and supplies at the most reasonable and practicable prices. He communicated the alternatives and options for decision making.
I have no reservation recommending Mr Deleon for your project. I'm confident you'll be pleased with his performance."
"The team approached our interior remodel with focus and steady progress. They kept communication clear and respected our schedule. EcoStar Remodeling Seattle delivered updates that feel thoughtful and cohesive throughout the home."
"Ed came out at 8:00a.m. Thanksgiving morning to deal with our broken pipe. He stayed, working in the frigid temperatures, until the job was completed correctly."
"Eric was very friendly. He helped us make a repair on a failing bulkhead. He came up with a new method of driving stakes that made the work much easier and quicker and helped us to weld the pieces necessary to make it work."
"We were extremely pleased. The project turned out beautifully. In addition to the flat (PVC) roof, they put on a composite deck and a beautiful railing system that was a new product I had requested. It was complicated but they figured it out and honored their bid, even when it required more time to install than anyone expected. Their pricing was very fair and people excellent to work with. The owner, Mike, was responsive when I called and Sean, the foreman, did a great job, as did all the people who worked with him."
Pool Table Assembly questions, answered by experts
The time it takes for a pool heater to heat a pool can range from eight to 48 hours, with an average of about 12 hours for the initial heating. For a more specific example, an average-sized 15,000-gallon pool may take six to 10 hours to heat up by 10 degrees. The exact duration depends on several factors, including the pool's size, the type and size of the heater, the starting water temperature, and the outside air temperature. It may take some trial and error to determine the precise time your specific pool takes to reach a desired temperature.
Yes, you can absolutely use a sand filter with a saltwater pool, but you’ll have to make sure you have the right grade of sand to catch smaller particles, just like in a standard pool. To choose the right pool filter, consider the degree of filtration you’ll need. Cartridge or diatomaceous earth filters can remove smaller particles, so they’re better suited for a less chlorinated saltwater pool.
An easy way to know whether your sand filter has enough sand is to check how full the filter is and what the sand looks and feels like. The filter container should be two-thirds to three-quarters full of sand. Look for interior marks indicating the ideal sand level. If you put your hand into the sand, it should flow through your fingers without clumping. The filter pressure gauge is also an easy indicator—the right amount of sand leads to normal pressure, while too much or too little sand can cause high or low pressure.
It’s a good idea to call in a pro to fill in your pool, because there are many potential hazards to doing it yourself. Unless you’re careful, you can damage your septic tank, plumbing pipes, and sprinkler lines. It’s also possible to damage your sewer connections, utility lines, driveway, landscaping, and sidewalk.
Infinity pools do require slightly more maintenance than other pools because you’ll need to constantly monitor the water level. If the water level is out of whack, it won’t correctly flow over the edge, which gives the pool its infinity look.
That said, the rest of the maintenance is largely dependent on the type of material you choose. Concrete needs a little extra care to prevent algae growth, and you will eventually need to resurface it. Fiberglass and vinyl liners are algae-resistant but they’re not as durable.
