  Replacement Projects Add Value for Buyers and Sellers in Somerset County, NJ   According to Remodeling magazine’s 2011-2012 “Cost vs. Value Report,” replacement projects perform better in resale value than other types of remodeling projects.

A ring pool is fairly inexpensive and easy to set up; however, they are smaller than other types of above-ground pools.                     ·         Frame pools ar... 07/13/2012
