Yanover Constructions sole mission is to offer the best quality service at a competitive rate. We are a licensed General Contractor and also offer Remodeling and Renovation services! We offer professional interior and high-quality exterior painting services as well. Our promise to our clients is that we will use only the highest quality materials on their home or business. Our tradesmen are customer oriented and trained to deliver the highest quality service in the industry. Our workmanship speaks for itself. We don't cut corners to save a little money like other contractors, we want your repeat and referral business and we treat you like it.
"I hired Yanover to build a deck and porch, but I would not recommend their services to anyone. Throughout the process, it became evident that customer satisfaction and effective project management were not priorities for them. Here’s a timeline of the most critical issues I experienced: Excessive Project Timeline and Disruption: This project spanned nearly five months, from early April to late September, turning my yard into a construction site for the entire summer. Yanover's repeated delays and lack of coordination meant that I couldn't use my yard or deck for most of the season, resulting in significant inconvenience. Initial Delays and Communication Issues: After making my first payment in April, I received plans that had errors, were incomplete, delivered late and required revisions, causing delays. Over the following weeks, their communication was inconsistent and vague, often providing excuses rather than clear updates. On multiple occasions, work was postponed with little to no notice due to "rain," even when weather forecasts showed otherwise. Unreliable Scheduling and Inspections: Yanover’s scheduling issues became a pattern, with crew members no-showing or being sent without necessary materials. Inspections were scheduled, canceled, and rescheduled with no communication until I reached out myself. Yes, I reached out directly to the county because I could not trust my contractor that I had paid tens of thousands of dollars. Changes to Agreed-upon Plans and Poor Execution: A couple months into the project, they altered the roofline, which added more delays and required additional work to ensure proper drainage. Even after these changes, final inspections were repeatedly failed due to oversight, and issues were corrected only after extensive back-and-forth. Lack of Accountability for Drainage and Paint Quality: When water drainage issues arose after the project, Yanover was unwilling to correct the issues caused by their work and then offered to install french drains for 5x the amount quoted to me by other companies. Later, their painting crew provided poor-quality coats of stain, leaving brush strokes visible. After two coats of the semi-transparent stain I chose, I had to settle for a solid stain to cover the poor work, adding even more time to my already delayed project. Throughout this process, Yanover demonstrated poor communication, unreliable scheduling, and a clear disregard for client satisfaction. I expected professional oversight and clear communication from a construction company, but instead, I faced ongoing frustration and an end product that didn’t meet initial expectations. I would not recommend Yanover to anyone seeking a reliable, customer-focused contractor."

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.
