"The Salesperson (Stephen) is great to deal with, although, at times, very difficult to contact. This is understandable as he is not only managing his Employees but the Sales portion as well. The person who answered the phone when calling was, in my book, the worst Customer Service rep for this company anyone could hire. She was vague and told me lie after lie regarding many aspects of this project. That issue has been resolved. Fortunately, Stephen took care of our issue personally and all worked out for the best! The Installation crew (Rob and his 2 Assistants) were the best! They were cordial, knowledgeable and informed us with every aspect and any changes that needed to be made. They were awesome. In conclusion, Outdoor Installations came through with flying colors and would highly recommend."

The most important part of our estimating process is that there is no pressure to buy. We’ll give you our best price, answer all your questions, and let you sleep on it. This is the only way we do it. APCO is a family business that opened its doors in 1962 in a barn along the Scioto River. What sets APCO apart from other home improvement companies is that APCO, now one of the largest home improvement companies in Ohio, is a wholesale distributor. That means lower prices for our customers from a very experienced staff.
"We hired APCO to remove and replace a wood deck with a larger composite one. We signed up for an estimate after seeing them at the home and garden show. They promptly followed up by phone and made an appointment to come out to see our needs. They did this and promptly followed up with a quote followed by taking detailed measurements and drawing up plans. We liked the plans and found the price acceptable so we hired them without getting any other quotes. They estimated about six weeks before they would start. We heard from them roughly after the six weeks and told us a crew would come out and get started. First they took out the old deck and then dug holes and put in footers for the new. They got the framing done for the new deck and we found that the crew had left some items on the ground such as several flagstones. These items were apparently under the old deck and we were surprised they didn't move them before framing. My wife and I got those out from under the frame. Once they started putting the decking on we began to notice some quality issues. What surprised us was that the issues were obvious and the crew did not seem concerned enough with them to get it right. First we noticed that they had miscut a decking board about a third of the way across, yet they put that board into the deck. A couple of other badly scratched boards were also installed. The deck includes a single step from the house down to the deck and then two steps from the deck to the ground. My wife and I immediately noticed, with the naked eye, that all three steps were not level. While most of the screws in this deck are hidden, there are a few places where screws needed to be visible. This includes the surface of the steps. On one of the steps there was no attempt made to line the screws up so they at least would look neat. They were put in haphazardly and frankly looked like a ten year old had put them in. All of the above items we corrected after we brought them to the attention of the manager. A couple of the items took a second call back to get satisfactorily resolved. Generally we were disappointed in the crew's lack of pride in making sure the deck looked professionally finished. Also surprised that supervision of the crew wasn't tighter. The crew was good about cleaning up their scrap and disposing of it in the dumpster APCO provided for it. The crew was not a good about making sure we ended up with a clean finished deck. During the course of construction, they tracked mud onto the deck. The manager eventually noticed and had them power wash it. They got the worse of the mud off, but we still ended up needed to power wash it ourselves once they were done to get it completely cleaned off. A couple of things that we are just living with: First, when the gentleman came out to measure and get the plans started, he told us they would build some type of enclosure around the sump pump pipe that exits the house and would be visible above the deck. This made perfect sense as it would be needed to give the deck a nice finished look which is what we expected from APCO. Unfortunately, we failed to notice that this did not make it into the plans and APCO did not honor that commitment. Rather they said that isn't something they normally do and the gentleman should not have promised it. They suggested we figure out a way to hide it. With it not being in the plans, and the gentleman having left the company, we ended up figuring out a way to hide it. Secondly, the new deck is slightly lower than the old one it replaced. The result of this is that a 'scar line' is visible on the walls of the house where the old deck surface met it. Most contractors we have used in the past have had enough pride in making sure their work looked great that they would have found a way to hide that with some type of molding (even if they would have to charge for it). Not APCO. Currently the scar is still visible and we will probably hire another firm to help us with that. In conclusion, while the crew sometimes showed up a day after we were told, APCO generally did this project on schedule. With a couple of exceptions mentioned above, we have a nice looking deck that seems to be solidly built. We just felt that for a project in this price range a little more care and pride could have gone into the project to get a more professional looking final product. Also if you do contract with APCO, make sure every detail you agree to is spelled out in the paperwork or plans. They will not honor anything said but not in writing."

The lifespan of automatic pool covers varies by component. Cover fabrics require replacement every five to six years, costing between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on size and material quality. Mechanical elements like motors function for five to ten years before needing replacement at $450 plus labor. The tracking system and housing unit can last considerably longer with proper care. Scheduling professional maintenance one to three times yearly at $150 to $200 per service helps maximize the operational life of all components.
While automatic covers require a larger initial investment, they provide significant advantages that often justify the premium. The convenience of one-touch operation encourages more consistent use, maximizing energy savings that can reach 50% to 70% on heating costs. The enhanced safety features, reduced chemical requirements, and decreased water evaporation deliver ongoing operational savings. These benefits outweigh the higher upfront expense for households that use their pools frequently.
Most existing pools can be retrofitted with automatic covers, though rectangular shapes accommodate them more easily than custom configurations. On-deck track systems offer the most straightforward installation for existing pools since they require minimal structural modifications. Recessed track systems necessitate more substantial deck alterations but provide a cleaner appearance. A professional assessment is essential to determine which system best suits your pool's specific layout and structural characteristics.
Proper maintenance includes promptly removing standing water and debris to prevent excessive weight on the cover. Use manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions for periodic washing according to recommended guidelines. Keep tracks clear of dirt and obstructions that could cause alignment problems or motor strain. Professional servicing one to three times yearly allows technicians to inspect mechanical components, lubricate moving parts, and make necessary adjustments before minor issues develop into major problems requiring costly repairs.
