"Terrible. I've never had such a bad experience with a company like this before. I would never hire AllStar again. Their sub-contractors are fast but messy. They threw trash in my attic thinking I wouldn't find it. They left nails, screws, sheet metal trimmings, etc. all over the ground. Cigarette butts and plastic spoons too. I had to call the General Manager and Production Manger out to my house to hear my complaint and clean up their mess. That still didn't work. I had to borrow a lawn sweeping magnet from another roofing contactor working in the neighborhood. I filled up the bottom of a shoe box. Although the building permit included a sound plan for safety precautions, the sub-contractors didn't follow it. There are OSHA safety standards to follow, and not one on them carried a card. I asked. Never once did I see them harnessed up and tethered to a 5000# safety point. They throw shingles up into my backyard trees and bushes and walk away. Busted up a cap on a post on my deck and didn't do anything about it. The installation of the gutter screens is not complete. I called twice about this. All-Star has no control over their subs. All-Star even ordered the wrong color gutters. I wanted a staircase installed off my deck, so as long as AllStar was there I asked them if they could do that as well. "Sure" their general manager said, and he quotes me a little over $2800. Next, he shows up with a contract for $4100. I sign it but realize I'm getting taken for a ride. AllStar doesn't do anything for several months. Next, I get an email from their sales rep assigned to my project, that additional costs are needed in the amount of $2000. Come on, $6,100 to build a wood staircase that is 7' tall? This is already a signed deal! Not an add to a contract. You eat the cost. The general manager doesn't return phone calls, text messages, or emails. The production manager (the one bright aspect of the company) does."

To maintain crystal-clear water and prolong your pool's lifespan, establish a regular cleaning schedule. Skim the pool for debris and clean the wall tiles every week. Test the pH level every week or every other week to maintain a balanced level of 7. Additionally, vacuum the pool, inspect the equipment, empty the pump baskets, and check the filters every month. Following this routine helps protect your pool’s surface and maintains a consistently healthy swimming environment.
If you've added too much chlorine to your pool, it's important to act quickly. Expose the water to direct sunlight to help break down the excess chlorine, heat the water to accelerate the chemical reaction, and add fresh water to dilute the concentration. You can also apply a chlorine-neutralizing product to bring the chlorine level back to the safe range. These actions maintain water quality and protect both your pool surfaces and swimmers.
One of the easiest ways to save on pool maintenance is to start completing some regular pool maintenance tasks yourself. While more serious repairs should be left to the professionals, routine tasks like skimming your pool to remove debris or checking the pH are tasks that can be accomplished on your own.
The lifespan of your pool is determined by its construction and materials. In-ground concrete pools offer a lifespan of 50 years. Fiberglass pools deliver over 30 years of service. Vinyl-lined pools have a 20-year lifespan with a required liner replacement every six to 12 years. Above-ground pools typically offer a lifespan of eight to 15 years.
It’s best practice to drain and refill the pool every three to five years to maintain the water's purity and flush out accumulated solids. Avoid draining the pool completely, as this can damage the structure. If you're not experienced in pool drainage, it's best to have a pool professional handle the process to protect both your pool and its surroundings.
