Essential Extras, Inc. creates unique outdoor spaces and structures such as screened porches, gazebos, pergolas, shade arbors, and custom fencing and privacy screening. Designs and projects often include landscaping, hardscaping, and low voltage lighting. We design to match the scale, look, style, and flow of the existing area. Our full portfolio has thousands of pictures of our decks, pergolas and other projects. We use many different railing and decking materials–mostly woods, plastics, composites and aluminum. We do most types of residential remodeling from small repairs to major projects like room additions and basement refinishing. Our process begins by determining the function or desired end result. Then we work back to the physical project so that our designs integrate the rationale, the physical setting, and our clients' taste. We strive to be truly custom and creative. No two people or projects are alike. Essential Extras, Inc. easily accommodates unusual projects, situations, and unique custom original designs. We make interior, exterior, added, or remodeled space blend into existing space structurally, functionally, and aesthetically–we make it look like it "belongs". Depending on your preference, we offer design and plans service, construction supervision, design/build agreements, or complete turnkey service.
"Terry was very informative and provided lots of input during the initial design process to help us determine the best use of our space. He is very thorough and kept us informed during the construction process. Marty, is a great installer and was very tidy and meticulous with his work. Jeff from Monarch Concrete is great to work with as well. His team did a great job forming our new concrete patio and finishing it. We love our new deck and patio and would recommend Terry and his team at Essential Extras to anyone who needs this type of installation."

"Mr. Barrett was sensational. My home is 35 years old, and the faucet handle was so badly corroded that it was difficult even to turn off the water. In spite of the corrosion and difficulty in removing the old fixture and installing the new one, Mr. Barrett never lost his patience and continued to work on the fixture at a time when most plumbers probably would have given up and tried to sell me lots of expensive new piping. I used Handyman Barrett for the first time just one week ago for an entirely different project, and I will certainly call him again for any home projects."

A well-maintained pool filter lasts anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on the type. Watch for inconsistent PSI readings, leaks, or wild chemical swings—these red flags tell you the media is spent. Most cartridge models clock in at two to three years, while a DE unit can push the full decade. Staying on top of maintenance avoids surprise repairs and keeps water sparkling.
Run the pump eight to 10 hours a day to give the water a full turnover and keep chemicals balanced. That schedule stays ahead of debris, eases the load on the filter, and helps the equipment last longer.
On scorching summer days or after a big pool party, tack on an extra hour or two, but skip nonstop 24-hour cycles that waste energy.
Skip routine filter changes, and you invite costly repairs. A clogged filter overworks the pump, leading to burnout or leaks. You’ll also see cloudy water, algae blooms, and roller-coaster chemical readings.
The CDC warns that poorly maintained pools can irritate skin and eyes, so stay on schedule with filter swaps to keep swimmers—and equipment—safe. Left untouched, debris can cement inside the housing, pushing replacement costs even higher than a simple filter swap.
