"I hired George Hunt to build a Trex deck last year. He was professional about estimates and issues with the build. I needed a dog ramp for my dachshund since the deck is over 5’ high . George worked with me to design a highly useful, yet attractive integral dog ramp to my backyard. His crew was courteous, helpful and worked very well together. The lumber needed for the deck was high quality, as was the decking material. I was impressed with the careful work they did and with the results. I love my new deck and have used it for most of the seasons. I love the views I have from the deck. My dog also enjoys the views and the cleverly constructed ramp. I am so glad I hired George to do the job."

"I am so happy that we found Krain Construction. Brian and his crew really brought our vision to life. We wanted to build 2 stories on top of an already existing foundation that only had a roof on it. We had a hard time finding someone to do it but Brian had no hesitation. He drew up a floor plan and we loved it. His crew built the new frame for our house, did the siding, doors, windows, decks, gutters, hvac. My husband and I are going to do the interior part of the house. If we had any issues we could easily text Brian and he would resolve them quickly. If we had any last minute changes, he would work with us. Very personable and professional. If we ever needed anything else done I would use them again and I would recommend to anyone needing a remodel. I will post some pictures of how our house started and how it is now that they’re done."

"We couldn't be happier with our new 4-season sunroom, and we can't say enough about the people at Better Living Patio Rooms! We've had a lot of work done at our house over the years, but the crew from Better Living stands above the rest. Once the project began, work continued - without pause - until it was completed. From Anthony in sales, Mike in project management, Michelle and Jenn in the office, and Frank and Justin (who did the work), they were professional, detail-oriented, and friendly. I highly recommend Better Living. Brian in McCandless."

"Horrible Experience. I contracted with Blackwood Group, LLC in July 2024 for a driveway demolition, wall build and decorative stamped concrete driveway installation. During the course of the project, representatives of Blackwood lied to me, screamed at me, hung up on me, used profanity directed at me, sent a crew that refused or didn’t know how to follow the engineering drawings or guidance from Versa Lok for the wall build, and generally made the project a miserable experience. The job was not completed in a workmanlike manner and to the quality that was described in the contract. The work stopped in August 2024. The quality of the work was so poor that Pete Blackwood (owner of Blackwood Group) came onsite to look at it and agreed that it needed to be ripped out and re-done. He agreed that he would do that. Pete spent the Fall of 2024 attempting to find a suitable contractor that could complete the job but was not successful. Additionally, there is damage that the Blackwood Group work crew caused to the front of our house - concrete spatter on front door, concrete spatter on the front trim (newly painted) around door, concrete spatter on the brick front of the house, and concrete spatter on a planter. Blackwood Group work crew also damaged our in-ground sprinkler system so that the zone near the front of the house doesn't work any longer. As of today, no work to fix the issues has been done. We had paid him $37600. He offered to refund $18650 and stated that he still wants to do the work and then when complete, we would pay him the remaining amount outlined in the contract. He did refund $18650. He informed us 2 weeks ago that Blackwood Group was for sale and he was in talks with a buyer. At that point, we told him that we want all of our money back. Pete has agreed to refund the balance back to us, but has yet to refund us. He still owes us ~$19000 not including the legal fees that we have incurred because of this situation. In summary, I DO NOT RECOMMEND."

The best above‐ground pool brands are those that exude exceptional quality and reliability. Intex, Doughboy, Kayak Pools, Bestway, Coleman, and Summer Wavesdeliver robust construction, safety, and longevity. Each brand comes with rigorous quality standards, strong warranties, and engineered durability. Evaluating product features and aftersales support ensures you choose the optimum option for your project.
Above‐ground pools built with high‐quality materials like heavy‐gauge aluminum or stainless steel can last between 10 and 20 years with diligent maintenance. In contrast, soft‐sided or inflatable models have a shorter lifespan if the installation and upkeep are not rigorous. Consistent cleaning, proper chemical balancing, and timely repairs extend the pool’s service life significantly.
The cost to hire a moving service to relocate your aboveground pool varies. The size of the pool, its weight, and the distance you’d like to move it all factor into the cost. Be sure to ask your movers ahead of time if they can take on this project, as not all pros offer this service. Professional movers charge $25 to $50 per hour, per mover.
An aboveground pool installation requires between one day and several days, depending on the pool’s dimensions, design, and site conditions. The process begins with thorough site preparation followed by the systematic assembly of pool components. Additional tasks, such as constructing an adjacent pool deck, extend the overall timeline. Efficient planning and execution ensure a secure and properly functioning pool.
An aboveground pool installation requires a consistent, level base for optimal performance. Suitable surfaces include dirt, sand, concrete, and well-maintained grass areas. Avoid rocky or uneven terrain, as it jeopardizes the pool’s stability. Preparing the site with a uniform layer of smooth sand or soil, measuring 3 to 4 inches, secures a stable and long-lasting installation.
Yes, you can convert your aboveground chlorinated pool to a saltwater pool with a dedicated conversion system that costs between $750 and $2,000, depending on pool size. This conversion enhances water quality and reduces maintenance frequency while eliminating the need for constant chlorination. It is a practical upgrade that boosts overall pool efficiency and comfort.
