Tips for choosing the best pool builder for you

By: Eastern Eye Staff

It is great to have a swimming pool in your backyard, and now that you have decided to have one, you find yourself in a problem of deciding who will be the best candidate for building your swimming pool. Choosing a builder is crucial because the swimming pool is such a commodity that you and your family will use for a long time.

Finding a top builder is not an easy task because only those builders will build the swimming pool exactly according to your needs and wants those who have plenty of experience.

Here is the guide which will help you finding pool builders that tick every box of requirements.

Search in your areas

Begin your quest of finding a perfect pool builder by taking the help of yellow pages, several directories, and most use the internet. You can also consult with your friends, families, and colleagues, and people in your social circle; you will find many with experience of getting a builder to build a swimming pool at their houses. Their wisdom will come in handy for you to choose the best builder for you.

I will suggest you create an Excel sheet for the potential candidates to do the work for you. Divide the Excel sheet into columns mentioning the name, the contact number, address, and website of the builder. Practicing this will become very convenient for you.

Choose the builders who are considered premium by many reviewers because pool builders with such recognition ease down your search for the best builder for you.

Compare every potential builder

Any perfect pool builder will know about the design and construction and enough experience to advise you about how big or what type of pool you can build with the space available. So, once your excel sheet is ready with enough candidates for that, you can draw a comparison between each one of them.

You can choose a rating scale on your parameters. If you go with my suggestion, then developing a scoring scale based on the builders’ experience and their certification, portfolio, and other parameters will be beneficial. But remember this the basis of your judgment is personal research through online reviews without contacting them personally.

Get a quote from them

The whole comparison process helps you reduce the list further. Now contact the top 5 candidates for the best builder. Get quotes from them directly, and remember to update and reshuffle the list based on the response time, professionalism, and price.

Its meeting time now

The best pool builders take the help of the latest technology to understand the customer’s needs better. They enroll software that generates a 3D model of your place and where the pool will be built; due to this 3D model, you can envision how your pool will look after getting built, and it gets very easy for you to choose the best design and look of your swimming pool.

Now that you have chosen the best builder according to the highest rating for building a swimming pool, it is time to meet the builder. I will advise you to contact them and arrange a meeting at their place directly.

If the builder is the one you are looking for, he will sit down to discuss your every need with keen ears and ponder the information you provide.

The swimming pool’s design entirely depends on the space available, and you might not be able to get what you’re looking for with the space available to you. In this case, the pool builders will work with you to find a design that suits your needs and wants and enhances the property value.

A quality builder will ask you a ton of questions, and those questions will make your head spin and consider yourself in a serious situation if you don’t get those questions.

You must beware of the ones who look good but in actuality are not that, some will be fraud also. It’s a kind of business where new companies come and go but very few stay because of various problems. The companies and builders will pretend that they have been in the business for a long, but if you do a little investigation, you’ll be surprised that the company was just a year old and doesn’t have enough experience to be called a good swimming pool builder.

Visit their clients for a firsthand experience

Ask the chosen one to present their portfolio and see what other projects they have completed. If the builder allows you, you must visit their clients and take insights about those clients’ experience and if they were satisfied with the builder’s services. And how is the quality of work if the pool is standing still without renovation or reconstruction? See, it is very clear the honest and best will not have anything to hide and will provide you the information of their clients to help you choose them.

Now that you are satisfied with your choice, the next step is to choose the design, and you and your builder need to agree on the design and the materials that the builder will use.

It is recommended that you inquire the Better Business Bureau and check how complaints have been filed against your chosen builder and how many complaints the builder resolved.

And if everything goes perfect and accordingly, then arrange another meeting with the builder in your backyard or the place where you will be building your swimming pool so that the price could be refined.

Get everything in written

This is the final and closing step in your quest to search for pool builders suitable for you. Everything your chosen builder offers you, like the warranty, guarantee, or discounts, you better get them written on paper.

This is it take a breath of relief search for a builder is over now. Leave everything on the builder and wait for your swimming to get built. And to enjoy the latest instalment at home.
