How will you choose a swimming pool builder for your project? You will certainly want to do more than pointing at a name or number in the telephone book or on an internet search and calling it a day. Because a swimming pool project is a major cash investment and because you will be working closely with your Memphis, Tennessee swimming pool contractor during the project, you need to make certain you are a fit both personality-wise and experience-wise. You need to hire a contractor that not only understands the type of project you’re hoping for but also one who has the experience to make the project go smoothly.
There are a few things you need to keep in mind while hiring a pool builder for either a new pool construction project or for a swimming pool remodeling or renovation project.
- When identifying a swimming pool contractor to work with you will want to check out their website presence.
- Do they have a website? Is it current? Are there photos of projects they have completed?
- Does their website show any information on professional swimming pool contractor affiliations?
- Memberships in pool trade organizations?
- Does the site list any special training or pool building specialties?
Once you’ve identified information on the website and feel you want to get further information from a potential swimming pool builder the next step would be to contact one and either schedule an appointment to go to their showroom or have him pay a site visit to your home to see what needs to be identified as part of your potential pool project (ie you may need to have trees removed, grading leveled, etc.)
Ask the potential pool builder (and you should interview at least two, preferably three) to speak with current clients so that you can ask them about their experience both before, during and after the pool construction project. You may even want to ask if you can come and visit the home — especially if the pool you would like to have constructed mirrors one your pool contractor has completed.
When you’re meeting with a pool contractor from Advanced Pool Care make certain you have an idea in your mind of the overall budget you have for your swimming pool project — even if you just know you can afford to spend XYZ a month for a payment on a pool, this will help you understand the type of project you can get for the money you have available. Once you know what you can afford to spend you can determine the accessories you could have installed along with your pool (ie, diving board, sun shelves, slide, etc.)
