Thanks Casey. Just had A. Sylvan at the house. Their quote ($51k) was well over over $10,000 more than a local PB ($41k) we had out last week for the exact same pool (16'x35' fiberglass same maker). Pretty close to apples to apples, but the price differences were odd: local PB charges $1800 for a dark gel coat, but A/S only charged $250. A/S deck jets were only $200 each, local PB $450 each. A/S charging $2350 for mesh safety cover, local PB $1300. A/S $900 to bond pool, local PB included. Local guy cheaper on heat pump rough in, cantilevered deck, and extra return. Only thing we don't like about local PB is that he uses sand as base and back fill. We're probably going to go with local PB and tell him he want gravel base/backfill. Both A/S and local PB had similar included items, i.e. water trucks, 3' concrete decking, etc. Last difference A/S says we could be (could be) swimming by August, local PB says pool would be done mid September. A/S subs out their work, local PB does it all (except electric) so I can only assume when you have to pay the subs for all of the work, the price has to go up.
