We are excited to begin our pool-building process, and we have our first preliminary bid in hand . . . we are still working on some design details but I wanted to get some opinions on what we have so far to make sure we are headed in the right direction.
We are in Cypress, TX (just northwest of Houston) and what we are finding here is that if you're not building a $50K plus show-pool, many builders in this area won't even return your phone calls. We're trying to keep our build at around $35K. Here's what builder #1 has given us so far:
Pool Features
Geometric Shape
82' perimeter
409 sq. feet
Max Width - 16'
Max Length - 32'
Depth - 3.5' to 6'
Tanning Ledge - 40 sq. foot
7' square spa elevated 12"
6 spa jets
1 bench at spa spillway
12' of 6" raised beam
20' of 12" raised beam
Coping - TBD
Waterline Tile - TBD
325 sq. feet acrylic deck (Kool Deck)
Equipment
Tristar VS Pump
1 skimmer
4 returns
cartridge filter
Pentair Rainbow 320 chlorinator
250K BTU Natural Gas heater (for spa)
500 watt pool light
100 watt spa light
Intermatic timer
Navigator pool cleaner
Of course, we don't have all of the final details yet, but based on the info above are there any glaring omissions? Any questions we should be asking the builder?
Thanks!
Heather
