Hello all! We are looking to build a pool and are looking for recommendations on subcontractors in the DFW area. We will need sub's for excavation, rebar/steel, concrete (gunite or shotcrete), plumbing, masonry and carpentry. Thanks!!

We have narrowed it down to the PB we would like to go with, we agreed on a price, but now we are at the next hurdle which seems impossible to pass. PB gave us a copy of the template contract that they use to review and upon doing so I found numerous things I was not thrilled with, were...

Hello all! We are meeting with a PB Saturday to finalize the specs and options on the pool. Anything we need to change, add, remove? Thanks!! Standard 1) All permits and plans 2) 6 bar box beam 12” x 18” with ½” steel 3) Walls 8” to 10” thickness 4) 4000psi gunite 5) 2 skimmers, 2 main...

We are in the final stages of pool planning and now comes the non-fun part...finalizing how we will be paying for it! :pth: We are in Texas and see that Lyon Financial apparently has terms for 3.99% for up to 20 years, with no prepayment penalty...seems to good to be true :scratch: I know one...

PB said it is not necessary because we want a cartridge filter, plus the City we live in does not require it. When we asked "how do you drain the pool, if need be", his response was "draining the pool is the worst thing that you could do". We said "okay, but what if repairs to structure or...

We have an approx. 12,000 gallon pool (+/- 100 gal). We originally were going to go with a VS pump based on their high rating however, since we have such a small pool design, no spa and no water features we decided a good cost cut was to change to a 2 speed pump which should be equally efficient...

DISREGARD POST - I sorted it out already :rolleyes:

Doesn't this seem high?! The pool seems only slightly high at $41,324...we have a bare bones pool with no added features. 15x24 gunite, SWCG, stairs and tanning ledge. No fountains, no spa, etc. Does that seem high to you? Specific question - we are getting a cartridge filter, why would we need...

At first I thought that you would select water line tile, coping and flatwork from the PB. Like at their showroom they would have options for you to select (that's how we designed our house when we built it, went to a showroom and picked floors, cabinets, countertops, etc.) but the PB said we...

We met with a PB and during the discussions, my husband (who is a project manager and has experience building multifamily properties with pools in Texas) asked about whether the PB puts crushed rock under the gunite to help mitigate movement, he looked at us like we were crazy and said he wasn't...

I met with a PB on 06/06/15, he took all the info down and said since it is busy season it should take "a few weeks" before he can get back to us with the 3D rendering and proposal. How long is "a few weeks"? What is the average wait time for this? How long should I give him before I follow up...

We are looking to put in a pool. Our home has a zero lot, shared fence, with our neighbor. Unfortunately the size of our tiny strip of land isn't big enough to drive the backhoe through, we need to spill over onto our neighbors yard. The backhoe will likely tear up all the grass in between our...

We are meeting with the first PB tomorrow and want to have an idea of what we want before meeting with the first PB that way we can get a quote from multiple PB's for the same exact work. We have started a list of items we will need to select...can you help us think of anything else? System...

Hello everyone!! We are in the process of planning and designing our pool. It is just us two (30ish) with no plans for kiddo's so we don't need diving boards, etc. What we can't decide is depth! Husband is 6'2" and I'm 5'3". Our layout is geometric (rectangle), so the question is - should we...
