Hi Everyone!!
We've met with 2 PBs so far that seem to be somewhat near each other but we would really love more eyes on these bids. They seem high to us but our only real comparison was my parent's pool that was built in 2009 in Austin...so not a great one. Haha. We are building in Houston, TX and just want to make sure that these seem reasonable or high or what. And if there is anything else we should be asking about or was left off? Seriously, ANY help is appreciated! Any of the pool experts we know are out there - please share your knowledge!
