Who did you receive bids from and what led you to choose Ocean Quest? You say on a budget, which I take to mean the goal was low cost, but that looks like a very nice pool? Could you message me what the total bid cost was? I am just starting quotes for my Austin area pool and was debating whether or not to put ocean quest on the list - I was thinking hey may be cheaper since they are from outside Austin a bit? Pool quotes are very high, higher than I would have guessed for sure.
If you are in the Austin area then you are probably referring to the actual Ocean Quest. I’m going through Ocean Quest by Lew Akins up in Belton. Lew was the original owner of the Austin Ocean Quest but sold it when he decided to retire. He ended up coming back from retirement and started up his business again in Belton as a separate entity. So, long story short I can’t attest to how the Austin guys are or their pricing compared to farther north. I did like Anthony & Sylvan as they were my second choice albeit a little more money, but they are down in Austin if you haven’t checked them out.
I say budget because we do have a dollar amount that we are currently at to the penny...not necessarily because it’s cheap. There were a couple other routes we could have gone if we wanted to really limit ourselves dollar-wise, but wouldn’t have the design we truely want or at the quality that I expect.
Best of luck to you though! Everything in Austin seems to be more expensive than up here just because of the growth.
