"Over two months to get house plans. Communication was dismal and the majority of my phone calls and emails were ignored. After I put down my initial deposit. I was ignored for so many weeks, I was beginning to think the company was fake. Draftsman never asked a single question. Not a good look when each round of revisions are charged by the number of changes. My final payment was requested before receiving house plans. Payment was sent and plans were immediately provided despite never having discussed or seen electrical and plumbing, etc. There was an error on the final plans and it took an act of Congress to get it changed. To be fair the final product was excellent but the ulcers I developed over this whole process would make me rethink using Evolution."

A+ Pool Designs is your best choice in the Pool Design Industry. We have amazing pool designs and use only the best pool equipment with over 45 years of combined experience. We would love to come for a consultation today so give us a call or click for an estimate today!
"I regret hiring A+ Pool Designs to remove my old pool and install a new one. My previous pool lasted 33 years and collapsed after water leaked from the drain last winter. The project manager assured me that my new pool would not leak. The day after my new pool was filled, I noticed the water level dropped two inches. I called the project manager who was in the UK for six more days, he informed me his partner was unavailable and the A+ Pool Design staff had no technical knowledge and could not help. When the project manager returned to NJ, my pool had leaked over 10,000 gallons of water. He said the leak was not from the drain as I thought because it passed his pressure tests. He focused on the seal around the pool’s steps which did not make sense, but he was the specialist. I reluctantly refilled my pool after he fixed a gap that didn’t exist, and it leaked again at the same rate. Despite all logic the project manager continued to deny the leak was in the drain, so I called Lester the salesman who convinced me to trust A+ Pool Designs with my project. I left a message describing the situation and asked him to call me back. He never called back but two days later I saw the project manager at my pool filling it with water. He acknowledged that the drain was the source of the leak and blamed it on the masons he hired and should have supervised. He had poured bottles of a leak stop liquid that he claimed was better than the products sold in pool and spa stores. He refused to address my concern that it was a quick, temporary fix and would not provide the name of the product, manufacturer nor any documentation. He told me the pool isn't leaking the job is done. I told him I have no choice but to share my experience in this negative review. I didn’t use the project manager’s name because the A+ Pool Designs’ management are equally responsible for building me a new pool that leaked thousands of gallons of water and may leak before I open it this Spring."

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200.
The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
