Hey everyone! I just found this site yesterday, so I have been non-stop reading since then. Or at-least it feels that way. I was just looking to get a few opinions on how people feel about the pricing/information below. We have already signed our contract with the pool builder (September dig). We had thought we were using another builder to install earlier this year, but they didn't put us on the schedule and decided to not respond when I asked about an install next year. That was about status quo for at least 5 other companies I either spoke to once or attempted to call without response. The company below has been very responsive to all questions and prompt in getting us set up quickly and to do an install in September this year. They do 2 installs a month and have done several community pools in the area. So they are highly rated and we have seen their work.
So that brings me to the below information and what we are paying for our pool. We are expanding it to a 16x32 which adds $8k right off the bat as well as the $6k tanning ledge. So we are sitting at $87,900 before any other additions we might want to make. Just looking for opinions on if we are getting a fair deal for what we are getting. I know markets vary widely from area to area, but just looking for a general idea. We are in the Birmingham area. I'll ask for a breakdown of what make/models we are getting for the pool equipment. Thanks for any and all feedback!
