Austin Pool Builder Recommendations?

[michoumonster]

Hello all, we are new here. We are looking to get started on our pool building journey. So happy to have found this forum!

We just moved to Austin and I was wondering if there are any Austin area people here who could recommend your pool builder? We have been having problems just getting quotes.

I called up a couple of big pool builders and so far they just blew us off. One guy came out to our house and said he would give me a design in 2 days but then, *crickets*.
Another sent me a long list of questions to answer via text and then never heard from him again. Is this typical behavior?

I am hoping to find someone to build a simple 18x40 saltwater lap pool with infinity edge. Is there something I should be telling the pool builders to get them to agree to come out for a quote even? We have never built a pool before. Thank you for any advice!!

Hi and welcome to TFP. You are doing some of what I would tell you to do. I wonder if the infinity edge might be scaring them off. It is bit harder to do and not everyone has the skills to do it.

I would reach out of your "Nextdoor" or Facebook market place to see if there is anyone else in your area that had a pool built and were happy with the results.

Hi Kimkats, Thank you! I didn't know infinity edge was harder, since there are so many pics of them. It might be a feature that I can leave out too. Thanks for the advice! I will search around nextdoor too.
