"BJ Pool & SPA is a first rate company.  Bob, the owner, has been working with pools for decades and knows everything about pools. He is actually willing to try to repair equipment, unlike many other lesser companies that merely put in new stuff.  If you have any issues with your pool and spa, these are the people to call: they will fix anything and will always provide you with the best options.  Bill, the specialist who came to work on the unusual configuration of equipment for my small indoor pool and spa, demonstrated a great deal of experience, ability and honesty.  BJ Pool & Spa might not seem cheap, however, given their vast knowledge, experience and technical ability, they will provide you with quality service and advice that will save you money in the long run.  Their competence and integrity is extremely reassuring.  It isn't always easy to find a good pool company (this industry isn't as regulated as other professions), and it took me a while to find this one. BJ Pool will be the company I call when I want honest and reliable service

Hristo did everything possible to get the job done. This particular June 2016 was filled with many rain days and made his schedule hectic. He kept me in the loop and was up front and honest about the delay noting vinyl liners must be installed in dry, sunny weather - none of which came for a few weeks.

The job was handled quickly and professionally while his team made several visits to complete the job. During this time we got even more rain but the liner was installed by then and they finished all well within the timeframe.

I write all this because Hristo kept me informed which I appreciated and which has earned him and his team my respect and gratitude.

A job more than well done! Also, within budget :)

"They did a pretty thorough job. We've been pleased with them so far. Everybody has been very nice. They've pretty much been reliable. When they say they're going to come, they come. They get back to you. It's a good recommendation. They showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves and seemed to work pretty steadily. They were friendly. We didn't have any problems. They did what they were supposed to do and their prices were reasonable for what we thought they did. They said it would take about a day and they did it in about a day. They were upfront. There's not that many companies that do what they do, so we didn't do a lot of comparison shopping, but we thought the price was fair. I've been using them for maintenance work."

"Happy with pool surface...mini-pebbles with glass beads. Weekly maintenance during pool season since 2016. Paul and his team are professional, courteous, caring, hardworking and kind. Paul even came over on Labor Day weekend when our pump was not working...now that is above and beyond! Paul really cares about his clients and their satisfaction. Prices are fair and comparable. The water is always crystal clear and thankfully no one has ever gotten sick from swimming in our pool. Thank you, Paul and VIP Crew!"

"It was great, the pool technician was very helpful and kept us updated on what repairs were needed. He followed up after his visit to ensure we knew the next steps. 10/10 would have this technician again."

"The owner of this company serviced our pool for over 15 years.  He was extremely responsible and professional.  He always responded to my calls promptly and made whatever repairs were necessary as quickly as possible.  He was always sensitive to costs of replacement items.  He also spent the off season going to classes and manufacturer training to be current in the industry.  His rates were reasonable.   When we were remodeling our pool deck and pool, he coordinated with the pool and deck contractors.  When our heater needed servicing he was knowledgeable enough to conduct the service himself.  Our pool was always crystal clear.  If he hadn't cut back with servicing our area, I would still have his company service our pool. "

"Christian and his team were fantastic! We needed our basement re-finished after some flooding with the recent rains. They responded promptly with a quote and came in to do the demo before the waterproofing company installed a sump pump. They were flexible when we ran into some delays with the waterproofing, and showed up when we were ready to start. They provided creative solutions for how to re-finish the space to make it even more functional than before. Communication with the team was great, quality workmanship, and all at a great value. We'll definitely look to them again for any future work. Thank you!!"

FAQs for swimming pool cleaning and maintenance service projects in Washington, DC

Removing an above-ground pool takes about a week, similar to the installation timeframe. The exact duration depends on your pool's size, complexity, and any additional structures like decks that need dismantling. Weather conditions, site accessibility, and the contractor's schedule can also affect timing. Simple removals without complications might be completed more quickly, while projects with extensive decking or difficult access may require additional days.

After pool removal, the ground beneath will likely be compacted and may have uneven spots. Most homeowners choose to have the area graded and prepared for new use. You can install fresh grass, create garden beds, or develop a patio space. The soil might need amendments to support healthy plant growth since it has been covered and compressed. Many professionals recommend waiting a few months before making permanent installations to allow the soil to settle naturally.

Above-ground pools are considered temporary structures rather than permanent property improvements, so removing one has minimal impact on property taxes. In most jurisdictions, these pools aren't factored into property value assessments the way in-ground pools might be. However, tax regulations vary by location, so it's worth contacting your local tax assessor's office for clarification about your specific situation before proceeding with removal.

The reclaimed space offers numerous possibilities for enhancing your outdoor living area. Popular options include creating a patio or deck, establishing a garden or play area, installing a fire pit, or simply expanding your lawn. Consider how you use your yard and what features would provide the most enjoyment for your household. Many homeowners find it beneficial to live with the space for a season before making permanent changes, allowing time to observe sunlight patterns and natural drainage across the area.
