New IG Build Fort Worth, TX

[adam]

I'm starting the process of meeting with builders in Fort Worth to build a pool at my new House. My first pool had already been installed at a house I bought in 2011 but circumstances forced me to move. My primary desires are a great jumping board and length for laps. I'll likely get the spa as well.
Anyone in DFW that has advise on builders- I'm all ears. I think PM is the rule w 'names'

PS- Thanks for your help learning how to run that first pool. This website was very helpful.

Hi! I can't wait to help you build this fun pool! Have you talked to any PB in the area at all? Try to get at least 3 quotes (more if possible). Share them here so we can go over them with you.

I met with one at the house 2 days ago and went to meet another at their showroom today. Three more are coming over to my home this coming week.

Welcome Adam...

My PB Collie was awesome so send me a message if you want his info. Great guy who does excellent work on schedule at a very attractive price point.

As you are probably well aware of diving boards are an insurance nightmare so use caution...

Adam. don't listen to the naysayers!! Get a deep pool and a diving board!!! I feel a true diving board and true deep diving well are a lot safer than those folks who don't have them and everyone is always trying to dive off the sides into non-diving pools anyway. Less hassle is to have an obvious diving area, IMO.

Lord knows I miss not being able to dive <sniff! sniff!> And not all insurance agencies will have a problem as long as you're well covered. When we put out pool in USAA didn't even ask us about a diving board. Shop around. Umbrella policies are smart with or without a diving board.

I'll enjoy watching the build. Send in lots of pics please!!

The diving board is happening. No worries. I still have Farmers as i had at the last house and the diving board was a nonissue. I emailed them to confirm its still a non issue with the current home and umbrella I carry with them and can adjust with them or I will find another company to commit to it before i sign a contract to build.
The builder i met with yesterday is recomending the interfab (that's who they use) baja base with 8 Ft board as their most 'springy' option. Trying to confirm with interfab which base/board combo is their bounciest.
