Hello, what is the depth of the pool going to be? You may want 2 skimmers. How many returns? Which Pebble is the upgrade ($7,900 is a lot if it's just the first level pebble). I am no expert but I thought gunite was supposed to be at more like 4,000 psi...I would ask why only 2,500? Are you doing the decking separately? You will definitely want to get at least 2 more quotes. What are the dimensions of the baja reef (make sure that's specified) when you sign a contract.
