What should I consider when deciding to build an in-ground pool?

• <div><p>There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to heat a swimming pool?

• <div><p>The best way to heat a swimming pool depends on your pool and location. Those living in sunny environments may find that a solar-powered heater works just fine, but you may need something more reliable, like a gas or electric heater if it&rsquo;s often cloudy where you live. When in doubt, try a few lower-cost options first to see if they meet your needs before going all in on a more expensive heater.</p></div>

Q: Are you required to have a fence around a pool?

• <div><p>In most states, it is a legal requirement to have a fence around your pool. Laws vary by state and city, so check with your state and local government for regulations specific to you. Additionally, most homeowners' insurance providers will require some type of fence surrounding a residential pool before they provide coverage.</p></div>

Q: What is the safest pool fence?

• <div><p>The safest pool fence depends on what you&rsquo;re trying to protect against. If you&rsquo;re concerned about children and pets, a fence with gaps between or under the material isn&rsquo;t advisable, as they could get through it. Mesh fences tend to reach the height requirements needed for pool fence safety, although they are not the most durable. Solid fence types, such as wood, concrete, or stone have the best chance of protecting the surface area around a pool, so long as they are high enough to discourage anything, or anyone, from climbing over them. </p></div>

The toilet was adjusted, but I need to replace the flooring underneath. The water pressure problem turned out to be a bigger issue, but they called the people necessary to fix the problem. The price and installation of the water heater was fair and professional.

Things have not gone very good so far. They are having trouble getting the parts. The water heater will cost about $700 and to get it installed will cost about $3,000. I think they are a good outfit.
