PB #1 came today. Details of the bid:
Total $27,000.
Deck Jets - I was advised against deck jets. The PB said sometimes in the winter water gets in them, freezes and they break. You then need to rip up concrete/bricks to replace. Also, need to add another pump for this.
Slide - PB said I order it and he will install for $1,000 - $1,200.
Basketball Hoop - forget to ask, figure same as a slide, but a little cheaper.
Current Fence - They will need to take out vinyl fence posts to access the backyard, they are not responsible for putting these back up when complete.
Spa - Cost of adding an overflow spa was $9,200, I passed for now. I want to ask if the work can be set up so if I wanted to add in the future I can. Do you think this is possible?
Heater - Is this worth it? Any idea how many degrees the pool will increase at what estimated cost of the increased heating bill?
Since I'll have the inground pool and slide (no spa or water features), is the automation Omnilogic worth it?
For after installation I was quoted $1,800 for a Hayward TriVac 700 Cleaner. Was also quoted $2,600 for a safety inground pool cover installed.
PB suggested we start the build October since he is booked all September. Let the pool sit, then he'll come back in the Spring after the pool has settled and put in the liner, finish up for swimming. I can then call a mason to come in and add brick work around the pool. Am I better off starting now or waiting until March 2018?
Thank you so much for your help in advance!!! PB #2 coming tomorrow morning...
