Apologies if this has been asked before!
In my search for pool companies, there is a local one that has done a few pools in my area (5 I think). The guy has quite a bit of experience at a large company in another city, and recently struck out on his own. I haven't asked for a design or quote from him yet, but I'm intrigued because I believe he does all the supervisory work himself, and that the bottom line would be (should be!) quite a bit cheaper. BUT, when it comes to pools, what are the risks? Is having a bigger PB with a long track record (and warranty?) that much better than a small guy? I really am conflicted. Anyone use a small guy, and how did you get comfortable with it?
And yes, I would only do this for a substantial cost savings, or not sure what the point would be.
Thanks
