Hello everyone, my wife and I are very close to pulling the trigger on a new pool here in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. This forum has been an invaluable source of information, and so glad I found it when I did as we have zero experience with pools and this will be our first! We have talked with 4 different pool builders in the DFW area, and have narrowed the selection down to two different builders. I would love to get the forums feedback in the two quotes we are considering. Thanks all!!
