"I initially hired Mr.Handyman to investigate and fix a leak around my window. They told me on the phone based on the photos I provided that the estimate for the job will be about $775 to find and fix the source of the leak and replace the drywall. I believe they use predatory and deceitful practices to inflate the final pricing, as it ended up being far higher than original estimates. When their handyman showed up, the estimate changed to $1010. I was never verbally informed that any of these estimates did not include materials. After removing the drywall, the handyman never found the source of the leak. I had to drive out to the property to find and fix it myself. I then called the handyman to re-install the drywall after the issue was fixed. I was then given another invoice for $977, so now we are at a total $1433, of which they claim $371 is materials. They never found or fixed the actual issue as promised but still charged for the full job. I thought we were being overcharged, since the original estimate was for finding and fixing the actual source of the leak, which they never did. When I questioned the materials charge and asked for receipts, their manager told me he would not send me any receipts even though they have them in the system because "its not their protocol" and that they put an upcharge on materials. When I questioned how much % the upcharge is, or if they can provide actual pricing of the materials, he said “when you buy at Publix, you don't ask them how much they upcharge for your food". This makes no sense, as at the store I see the price before I buy something, so I can decide if I want to buy it. Mr.Handyman never provided me with pricing of materials upfront, they just sent me one final price at the end without a breakdown of materials purchased, which they can make up to be anything. This is highly unethical. If this is a cost-plus contract, they should be providing receipts."

During design - we could see realtime changes made to the computer rendering and get a great look at how the finished product would turn out. During construction, our project manager kept us abreast of everything and the crew worked hard, were respectful to our property and family & completed the job within the communicated timeline.

The best tile for your in-ground pool depends on your style preferences and budget. If you're seeking an elegant look and don't mind a higher price tag, glass tiles might be ideal. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are popular choices among homeowners for a balance of affordability and durability. Consider what's most important to you to select the perfect tile for your pool.
Pool tile deep cleaning costs can vary, but it's a worthwhile investment to restore your tiles' appearance and longevity. Techniques like high-pressure glass bead blasting effectively remove buildup and polish the surface, enhancing aesthetics and durability. Regular deep cleaning keeps your pool looking great and protects your investment in the long run.
Aside from tile, you have several other pool finishing options like plaster and aggregate finishes. Plaster gives your pool a modern look and is cost-effective but may require more frequent maintenance. Aggregate finishes offer improved texture and durability, enhancing your pool's safety and visual appeal. Consider these alternatives to find the best fit for your needs.
The lifespan of your pool tiles can vary widely based on the type of tile, installation quality, and maintenance. Generally, pool tiles last between 10 and 20 years. However, when properly installed and maintained, durable options like ceramic and porcelain tiles can last up to 100 years. Regular care ensures your tiles remain in great condition for decades.
Retiling your pool is a perfect time to tackle other home improvement projects. Since you'll be draining the pool anyway, consider replacing the vinyl liner, repairing any structural cracks, or upgrading your pool heater. By addressing these tasks together, you can enhance both the functionality and appearance of your pool.
Proper pool maintenance significantly extends the life of your pool tiles. By consistently cleaning, balancing chemical levels, and ensuring good water circulation, you preserve the strength and color of your tiles and prevent degradation. Taking care of your pool means your tiles stay pristine, and your pool remains safe and beautiful for many years to come.
