Text me pictures of your job to 203-578-5260 and let me know where in the Connecticut the job is located to get a price for your project. I personally do every job myself, I don't send out a less experienced technician or try to bait you with an incredibly low price just to get your job or take any shortcuts to reduce the price. I'd rather do the job right the first time as my reviews on Angie's List speak for themselves. I take pride in my work and and value my customers and give them the best job and service possible. I have over 20 years experience and refinishing bathtub and wall tile and resurfacing Kitchen counter tops is my specialty as that's all I do.
"Outstanding experience working with Ernest on our reglazing project to our shower. This project was completed May28th. Everything went exactly as planned and it looks better than we imagined! The price was just a fraction of what we would have paid to rip it all out and replace it! You absolutely can not go wrong using Ernest! Highly recommend !!"

We have more than 25 years working in swimming pools and ceramic tile inside and outside
"The new surface tiles are chipped all along that they were cut. the tile on the steps are sloppy and not aligned. The plasters are latchy. I had to find and buy the new patio stones because the replacement of the cooping stones were sized differently than the old ones. Finally at pool filling day the owner Marcelo was drinking beers on my pool deck while the crew did not meet the time for the water fill. I have another fee from the water company and I have to pick up their beer caps after they left. Too many issues to lift! Poor communication, poor scheduling, poor job. I have raised my concern both angi and Marcelo and that most offered $1800 for a $35000 job. Still not resolved. Thought i was protecting myself by using angi for their happiness guarantee but I only heard crickets. DO not make my mistakes and considered yourself warned."

"I had a bathtub reglazed. Within six months it started to peel. Despite one year warranty, Tom accused me of purposely damaging the tub and refused to repair or reglaze it without charging me more than double the original price. He then never returned my calls. Falsely advertises warranties and then gets nasty when you outreach for repair. Shameful"

Various pool types can support hot tub additions, though installation methods will differ. Concrete pools provide the most flexibility for integrated designs, while vinyl and fiberglass pools may require specific approaches to maintain their structural integrity. Aboveground hot tubs offer versatile solutions for any pool type, as they don't require integration with existing pool systems. Consulting a pro is essential to determine the most appropriate installation method for your specific situation.
The value of premium features depends entirely on your preferences. High-end jet systems, advanced control panels, and enhanced insulation can improve your experience and potentially reduce operating costs through better energy efficiency. However, these upgrades substantially increase your initial investment. Consider how frequently you'll use your hot tub and which features will genuinely enhance your experience before committing to luxury options.
A hot tub addition increases monthly electricity costs by $20 to $50. Factors affecting this include your climate, usage frequency, temperature settings, and insulation quality. Consistently using an insulated cover, maintaining lower temperatures when the hot tub is not in use, and selecting energy-efficient models can help minimize ongoing expenses. Regular maintenance also ensures systems operate at peak efficiency, preventing unnecessary energy consumption.
While these terms are often used interchangeably, they traditionally refer to different installations. A hot tub describes a self-contained unit with its own heating and filtration systems, while a spa refers to an in-ground feature integrated with a pool's circulation system. Spas share water treatment systems with the connected pool and are constructed from matching materials. This distinction helps explain why in-ground spas cost more to install but may be more economical to operate when combined with pool systems.
