How to choose a pool: Advanced Pools, Inc. contractors offer tips.
You’re going to take the plunge and get your own pool this year. It’s a great thing to do to add value to your home and fun to your life! A swimming pool adds grace and charm to any yard and can also add to the home’s resale value.
How to choose a pool
The swimming pool contractors from Advanced Pools, Inc. offer these tips for your consideration:
- Cost – Above ground pools are less expensive than in-ground pools. The average price of an above ground pool runs around $7,000 compared to a traditional in-ground pool which costs around $25,000. In-ground pools add value to your property. In-ground pools are also longer lasting investments.
- Space – What type of space do you have available for a pool? What are the zoning requirements for pool installation? If your space is limited, consider a lap pool or swim spa.
- Choice – The choices for size, shape and materials are varied. Research gunite, fiberglass and vinyl liner pools and make an informed decision.
- Installation – In-ground pools are installed by professionals. A swimming pool contractor will let you know how long it will take and the steps involved.
- Portability – Above ground swimming pools may be portable. Homeowners who think they may move soon, may not want to invest in an in ground pool and an above ground might be a better option. For most homeowners, though, in ground pools are the pool of choice.
- Durability – Above ground pools are not as durable as in-ground pools. The average lifespan of an above ground pool is about five years. Installing an in-ground pool is an investment of a lifetime that offers many dividends.
Take your time when researching your pool project. It is an investment that will be with you for decades and you need to be happy with your choice.
