How will you pay for your swimming pool?
- Choose the size and shape of swimming pool and the material from which it will be constructed. Before you can make an informed decision on the pool construction material you need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type: fiberglass, concrete/gunite, or vinyl liner.
- What accessories will your budget allow you to have? A diving board, slide, beach walk-in, sun shelves, fountains or rock waterfalls all add beauty to your swimming pool, but you need to weigh the costs against your budget.
- There may be additional costs for construction permits and licenses.
- When you’re getting construction costs, you want to ask whether the costs of pumps, excavation, filters and other systems and plumbing and electricity associated with the project are added into the cost or are a separate cost.
- Will a swimming pool cause your homeowner’s insurance to increase? Call your agent and ask about this aspect of pool ownership and budget for that.
- Don’t forget to figure in the cost of a deck and outdoor living space. You will spend more time around the pool than in it and you want a comfortable place to relax.
Going into an appointment with your pool contractor in Memphis, TN armed with your budget and what you can afford will help him craft a pool that will fulfil your family’s wants and wishes and stay within budget.
