We just went through the pool build process with my mom's pool. (see signature- after 8 or so interviews) Unfortunately I didn't find this website before. Fortunately, we are just starting our own pool build while finishing our house build.
We've talked with 3 builders:
1st PB previously built mom's pool but it's been since July 1 and it's still not done. He's sent us a basic design without some features we requested. Did not ask our budget and has not returned a new design which we requested 2-3 weeks ago. Maybe he's busy in the off season- don't know. His designs are attached.
2nd PB had very good references, reputation, etc. He met us at the house. We clarified all we wanted included. 3 weeks to get us a cookie cutter design with only 1 of 3 features we asked for.
3rd PB was today. He had good references, reputation, etc. He actually owns a SWG pool IN TEXAS! When I asked why all the other PB decline to build them, he said it's all about the materials and chemicals surrounding the pool. He asked for a budget and said he would have a design by next week.
So now the waiting begins....
