We take pride in our work and create value through competitive pricing and unbeatable warranties.
"How did it go? Not well. Sales guy said we did not need replacement and only quoted a repair. When the carpenter showed up and said it needed replaced, not repaired but they could go ahead do the lower deck and fence stain while they were there. I came home that day to find stain dripped down the driveway and splattering my grille and pool cleaner covers ( which were no where near the fence or deck) and the top rail of fence was not stained. I was also peaved that they damaged a hose connection when they apparently used my pool fill hose to spray something down after staining. I contacted Shane and he had Wade the satin guy come out and power wash the stuff off the driveway, but they were not able to remove stains on the grille cover nor the pool cleaner cover. About 10 days later the carpenter returned with the wood to replace the pergola. The carpenter and helper did a good job. They took two days to tear out and replace. Wade returned after a few more days to stain that new wood and touch up scrapes left by the carpenter' ladder. I immediately noticed where parts of the new work did not get stained. With the stain being dark brown and the wood being pressure treated Yella wood it really stood out to me. The unstained areas were easy to reach and easy to see from the deck. It looked like he just forgot to hit those spots. I reported that to TBS. The admin assistant said she would speak with crew and the owner and get back to me. Two or three days after no response I contacted the office as they were sending final invoice for the work again. The lady I spoke with had Wade call me and he explained that he was going to take care of the grille cover and touch up work. I explained that it needed to be done ASAP and I was not happy that they left me in the dark thinking they were not going to follow up. He said he would not be back anytime soon as I was 2 hours from his house, but could return the following week. A couple days later I got the invoice notification again and i contacted them to say I can pay the invoice when they get the work completed or they can pay me $350 to finish it for them. A week went by before I got a reply that said the owner would like to accept my offer to finish it myself. So, I had to go buy some Behr and brushes and finish it after all. Now I'm left feeling that this contractor lacks quality control. If the sales guy came out after the work and sort of inspected it with the crew before trying to collect the invoice they would probably catch this stuff themselves and prevent the back and forth BS we endured. If they knew somebody was coming out to QC their work they might be more careful. And yes, I did contact Rocky. He said the hose they damaged was old and rotted anyway ( like that was the issue) and claimed I did not give them a chance to make it right. I guess it's too late now. caveat emptor"

Yes, you can add a pool heater to an existing pool. Many homeowners install a pool heater during pool remodels to enhance their overall pool experience. Heaters offer various advantages, such as consistent and precise temperature, property value boosts, and more opportunities to enjoy swimming regardless of weather conditions.
No, a pool heater doesn’t need to run all the time—instead, most homeowners use the heater to raise and maintain the temperature as needed during use. Pool heaters require between 24 and 72 hours to fully heat a pool, so you should prepare and run it well ahead of time. If you plan to use it frequently, use a pool cover to retain heat and reduce energy consumption.
Pool heaters can freeze if left exposed to extreme conditions. Freezing can damage internal heater components, potentially leading to costly repairs. Cycling water, covering the heater, and regular maintenance servicing help prevent freezing. Sealing or winterizing your heater also protects it during the season—this involves draining water from the heater and its components.
Pool heater lifespans vary depending on the type of heater and maintenance, but they can last between seven and 30 years. Gas and propane furnaces have the shortest lifespans, about seven to 12 years, while electric and solar pool heaters can last up to 30 years.
