The Preface
Well for this chapter we can start with I sent my list of requirements to 17 perspective pool builders. I got six we are booked through 2021, five we are not interested in my project, one “I never had anyone tell me how to build a pool in 35 years and we build everyman pools and yours is not a type of pool we build”. Two that said they would have their salespeople schedule something but never did. And three that set up appointments for consultations.
The current builder I am feeling really comfortable with has spent 3 hours at my home, 10 hours over a week on the phone talking details and a call from the owner this morning to go over for a third time to make sure everything I wanted with the build process and components and equipment was in the estimate I had gotten from them.
Will you all please take a look at where I am leaning at this point and give me any feedback or areas I have missed?
