Swimming Pool Designers & Installers Near Me

If you’ve been dreaming of relaxing summer days spent poolside, it may be time to consider hiring a pool builder. A professional can not only help with design and swimming pool construction, but also aid in appropriate maintenance once it’s complete. Whether you're at the beginning stages of planning or want to revamp your existing pool, a local pool company will be able to get you on the right track.

What exactly do custom pool builders do?

If you are planning for a new pool, a swimming pool builder will analyze your outdoor space and your aesthetic wishes to determine an appropriate design for your yard, installing it once the plan is developed and approved. Once installed, some pool companies can handle the necessary cleanings, water testing, renovations and equipment replacement or repairs for your pool or spa. If not, many can also suggest swimming pool contractors or maintenance services to help with upkeep or repairs down the road.

Before hiring a swimming pool construction company to create your new pool, determine how you'll be using it. Will it be for fun or for lap exercise? Will the primary users be children, adults or a mix of the two? Knowing the use can help you find pool builders who share your aesthetic.

Once you find swimming pool contractors who share your style, research is critical. Review customer references and comments, collect at least three to four estimates to compare, meet with potential pool designers and builders in person and ensure that they are certified service professionals and licensed with the registrar of contractors before making any final decisions. In addition, get a sense whether they plan to complete the pool installation and be done with it, or whether they seem interested in building a long-term relationship with you. Be wary of the former: it's likely a reflection on the level of quality of the pool construction they do.

Questions to ask prospective pool installation companies:

• Can you provide me with references?
  
• Are you licensed and insured? (Check liability insurance and workman's compensation.)
  
• How do you charge, and what does that include?
  
• Can you give me a written estimate?
  
• What do your swimming pool services include?
  
• What is your experience with similar projects?
  
• When can this job get done?
  
• What happens when the cost exceeds the budget? What about changes due to materials or labor pricing changes? What kinds of situations do you foresee that would cause extra costs?
  
• What will I need to provide?
  
• Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
