Frequently Asked Questions
- - How do I select the right pool builder?
Our suggestion is to look for a pool contractor that has the experience to match the job. Many of our customers also appreciate that they are working directly with the owner of the company.
- - I sometimes see advertisements promising pools at very low prices. Can I / should I buy a pool like this?
Every contractor knows how to save on building costs. You need to be sure that the savings won't become liabilities after the project is complete. Our experience with pool remodeling has shown us many of the problems associated with "low priced" swimming pools.

Pool contractors have different overhead concerns. You need to be clear that the proposals offered are for the same quality of equipment and materials.
- - What if I have a small or difficult yard to work with?
We don't claim to be magicians, but our experience at creating a pool, spa, or both in tight spaces has been called magic. A phone call can often help to overcome concerns for accessibility.

Care for your swimming pool is relatively easy. Pool equipment such as pool sweeps, filters and chemical injectors can provide much of the needed maintenance. (See our Pool Care page for specific care instructions)
- - Should I consider building my own pool as a homeowner?
