Been reading like crazy on here trying to get up to speed. I am in South Florida and have spoken with 4 Pool Builders concerning my new pool build. Out of the 4, one has already been written off due to lousy communication (amazing that people do business like this). So far I have been pleased with the other 3 and are starting to get quotes in and some renderings.
Home is on an ocean access canal with a very small yard, retaining wall is going the length of the dock. Going for a geometric "L" shape with sun shelf and the deck is going to be close to 850 sq.ft. Soil test/Engineering Report to be completed next week. So far, I have the following quote:
Total Cost: $58,500.00 ( Travertine would be around $3,000.00 less )
This company touts the 11 returns as being superior to anyone else. Not sure this is necessary or specifically "better" than having 3 wall returns plus the 2 drains that another company told me they use.Hoping to get some clarification on that and looking forward to some comments/concerns.
