Schedule An Estimate
Adding a pool to your backyard can be an exciting home improvement project. But before calling the pool builders and digging that hole, there are some key things you’ll want to keep in mind. Doing the prep work ahead of time will help ensure your pool building goes smoothly, and you end up with your dream oasis.
1. Determine What Type of Pool You Want
The first big decision is what type of pool you envision for your yard. Your expert pool-building team will be able to go over various options with you. Consider aspects like size, shape, depth, and features. An L-shaped inground pool takes up more area but provides additional lengths for swimming laps. This first step is crucial to ensuring your pool is what you’ve always dreamt of.
2. Create a Pool Building Budget
Pool building involves hard costs like construction materials and labor. But there are soft costs too, like permitting, decking, and patios. And let’s not forget ongoing maintenance expenses after filling that pool with water. Sit down and tally realistic estimates for all these pool building costs. Determine what you can afford before moving forward. Having a budget will also give you guidelines when it’s time to choose fixtures and finishes.
3. Hire a Reputable Pool Company
Research pool construction companies in your area and vet a few to meet with. When interviewing pool builders, ask about their experience, areas of expertise, typical process and timeline, and examples of previous clients’ pools. Verify that they have an active license and insurance. Most importantly, make sure you feel comfortable communicating with them often during the pool-building process. This partnership is key to bringing your dream pool into reality
The pool-building process takes serious forethought and preparation on your part too. But the end result will be worth every bit of effort. Follow this advice, and soon you’ll be cannonballing into your stunning new backyard oasis. According to Test Hut, it takes about 8 to 12 weeks to have a pool built.
