Are you tired of your pool? Does it get used more than once a year? You may want to consider retiring it. We drain it, then build a deck over it so it can be retired until you sell the house or decide to un-retire it. Not sure if that's a word, but it best describes what we are talking about.
Deckover decked over my pool and it looks okay. For the amount of money I was charged, okay isn't good enough and so I cannot recommend them. To note, if you don't live in the Phoenix area, the cost is double as they have no workers in Tucson. At several points in getting this organized, I was made to feel not very bright. The workers were on-time, cleaned up after themselves and were polite. However, in several places around the entire perimeter of the pool, the planks are cut unevenly. There is the old adage of "measure twice, cut once" and this did not happen here. Because my review at their website said this, the owner called me. He asked for photos which I sent. He texted me back, "I would agree that this could be done better." And that was the last I heard from him. So he's okay with mediocre work. Lesson learned.
Description of Work: I needed my in-ground pool covered with a deck.

Response from Retire My Pool Inc.
Hi [Member Name Removed], I’m sorry that we didn’t do a better job of communicating the cost of lodging for the crew but I assure you that the charges added to your job were no where near the cost of building your deck. As you can imagine, it's a long drive from your place to our place. We strictly regulate the costs for lodging for the crew. They stay in the most efficient locations that we can find and we try not to add much to the total cost of the job. I'm certain that our profit margins are reduced to come to a location such as yours in order to keep the total costs down. Regarding the cut on the perimeter of the pool, you sent me one picture of two planks that were cut a little short. There are well over a hundred of those cuts. Please send more pictures of the areas that need attention. As I said before, we will certainly replace those planks and fix any problem areas. Thank you, Jeff

Description of Work: I retired my pool and had a deck installed over the pool shell in 2013. I like the deck a lot and enjoy not having to take care of the pool. The drain equipment(sump pump and float) have had to be replaced several times and from the start every time I called with a problem I was told I would be charged $136 for a service call. I did not have to pay it because it was always their equipment with a problem. After a year of dealing with Jeff Getz(my only contact) and getting an argument every time, I told him I was through talking to him, that I would file a complaint. From that time I have had good service and the equipment was replaced and is working. |This is not maintenance free and I don't feel I can go away for several weeks without someone checking it. If it doesn't drain the water will stagnate. Last month I had to shovel mud from the pump area as it clogged the equipment. The mud comes from dust storms and rains and leaves that get through the cracks. I am not sure I would do it again. They have no competition and no service dept. It will probably pay for itself in 9 yrs. because my water and electricity bills went down dramatically. |

Hi Mr. [Member Name Removed], Thank you for your business. It's true that the pumps don't completly empty that last bit of water at the bottom of the pool. Most all pumps have that problem but since we are in Arizona, we rely on the dry air to dry out the bottom of the pool fairly quickly. It might seem like a lot but it's really not very much and has not been a problem on the hundreds of decks we have done just like yours. There are other ways to solve the problem but they all seem expensive compared to just letting it dry out. Please feel free to call us with any other questions or concerns.

Description of Work: Deckover installed a well constructed deck covering our pool and spa. We were not using either of them, costing us a considerable amount of wasted money yearly. We also needed to invest in replastering and retiling. The deck is extremelly solid, and looks great. There are access doors installed so one could store things under the deck. There are two sump pummps installed if it rains. Even though the price was higher then thought, our pool was larger then some, it will save us considerable amounts of money in maintenance. Future owners can remove the deck and refurbish the pool if desired.

We made arrangements to have the work done while we were on vacation without complications. The work took about a week and when we returned we had a beautiful deck instead of a space eating, costly to maintain pool. The work was done professionally and we are happy with our new deck and dealing with Deckover.
Description of Work: We very seldom used our swimming pool but to maintain it we paid a monthly fee to a service company. We considered having the pool filled which would have been expensive and would depreciate the value of our home. Apple Homes, Inc.( dba Deckover) gave us a better option. Deckover drained our pool, installed a sum pump to drain out rain water and constructed an attractive custom deck over our pool. If at some future date we want to resurrect the pool - it can be resurfaced and refilled at minimal cost. We can then enjoy the pool or give a future buyer the option of a pool.
