Hello All,
I appreciate any guidance you can provide. So we finally moved into our new home 2 months ago. We have had 6 pool companies come by. 2 pool companies came about 3-4 weeks ago and no call back or email. 2 other said 2-3 week, with one it has bee 2 weeks, the other going on 3 and nothing. We did like one company called Eclipse pools where the owner was very very relaxed, professional, and new what he was talking about, he is the 2nd best communicator, but lately he hasn't responded quickly usually 3 or 4 days and then I have to send a reminder email. The new company we met with last week Thomas Pools the guy was awesome, on time, has taken the time to respond to our calls or emails right away and he is coming back tmrw to trace out the pool for us because I asked him if he could do that so we can get somewhat of a visual. I've also asked him to make the deep end and shallow end 3ft. wider to add more area to the pool. We have 3 young kids (5, 7, 11) who are like fish and our last house had a pool, so they are for sure fish out of water right now. We asked each what they would like and they either said, a bridge, a waterfall, and a slide. I think we achieved this. So the pool companies that did get back to us all ranged between $73k - 85k. Thomas pools who we are leaning towards right now came in originally at$74k but with the addition of the 3 ft. to each end of the pool it added another $1600 making the new price $75,600 which seems very fair. The pool is 16,187 gallons. I don't have sq. ft. & perimeter ft. for new expanded design but it was 477 sq. ft. & 110 perimeter before the change and the pool layout PDF also shows the width BEFORE the 3' ft. expansion to the deep end and shallow end. I have attached the pricing of everything as well as several renderings he has sent us and our Lot plan which shows our build area within the yellow lines. The left side of the yard with big X's is for gardening
Also, there is a grotto that will be big enough for 5-6 adults with tall ceiling which will have lights and speakers inside of it.
THIS IS WHERE WE NEED THE COMMUNITIES HELP PLEASE : ) Other than the Filter list in the attached price file (we are upgrading that to a Pentair DE filter), how does everything look and is there any recommendations of what we SHOULD or SHOULDN'T do, lessons learned etc.. You will see also that Quartz bottom is included in the pricing they don't charge more like the other builders.
ANY insight to design, pricing, styling, features (do's & dont's) etc.. we are totally open to. Want to minimize the mistakes as much as possible. Thank you all very much!
Mike
