    1st Pool Build - Freeport, TX

    Re: 1st Pool Quote - Freeport, TX Food for thought - PB's are comming into their "busy" season of the year so I'm thinking they probably get away with charging a premium, I wonder if waiting till the "off season" to get a bid might be beneficial cost wise. We received our quotes in...

    1st Pool Build - Freeport, TX

    Re: 1st Pool Quote - Freeport, TX Hey TommyBoy, Yes, $ seems higher considering it does not have a spa. I'm thinking the slope of your yard is adding to the cost. I would ask for a itemized price listing of all equipment and find out how much you are paying for decking. I believe I paid $8...

    Houston Pool Builder Suggestions?

    We went with Premier pools last year. See thread below for build. Premier offered the most bank for the buck. i.e. water features, equip, travertine coping etc. were standard. We interviewed about 5 other PB in the area.

    Does the concrete truck cause damage to your driveway?

    During the dig the bobcat will create a path of dirt from the hole site to the awaiting dump truck, the dirt road will help minimize the damage to the drive way, also the bobcat should have this rubberized tracks vs. steel tracks.

    Does the concrete truck cause damage to your driveway?

    The gunite truck should park in the street and pump the gunite through a hose. You driveway may sustain light damage during the dig phase when the bobcat or other diggin machine is travelling back and forth with payloads of dirt to haul away. Our dig was at least 100+ trips from the backyard to...

    Depth Help - if you could do it again - what would you choose?

    We have a sports pool 3.5 on each side 6 in the middle. 2 small kids 5 and 8 years old and no issues. Everyone is able to hang out on either side of the pool. With deep pools everyone hangs out on only one side. Its totally personal preference. Congrats on your build!!

    bubblers vs aerators, baja size, width of pool

    Re: will 10 feet wide be too narrow? Its personal preference, but yes 10ft wide is way small. Also no one ever says "I wish I would have made this pool smaller"

    Signed contract, then found out PB is selling his business

    I would definatly use him selling the company as leverage, if you decide to re-bid with the new owner. I'm assuming the old contract you signed is now null and void.

    In Pre-Design/Concept Phase

    Howdy neighbor, nice backyard man. I would caution on the side of slanting your seating in the spa There was someone on this forum who designed it this way and said they have issues with floating when they attempted to lay back. I'm sure whatever you decide will be awesome! -Yes to the...
