I have been researching fiberglass pools and have so far gotten price lists for a basic install from San Juan Pools and Barrier Reef Pools. I’m in the Jacksonville Fl area, and there are not many fiberglass pool dealers in this area. Leisure Pools just contacted me and asked me a bunch of questions and sent my info to their “pool designer.” I emailed him asking for their price list and information on who would install the pool. This was his response:
We don't have a prebuilt price sheet. I can tell you that a complete pool package will begin around 35k and go up from there. I would want to talk to you about what it is you are looking for in a pool and I get you a better idea from there. Also, we install our pools.
The lack of transparency about prices concerns me, along with the lack of info about who exactly would be installing the pool. I looked the “pool designer” up in the Florida license website and he is “eligible for exam” , which I translate as unlicensed and inexperienced. And he can’t be installing the pool without a license.
Am I being too paranoid and distrustful or are my instincts correct and I should just move on.
