How To Choose A Pool Builder

If you live in Champaign and are in the process of making a decision on owning your own swimming pool this summer, what steps should you take to choose a pool builder in Champaign?

There are several items to consider both before, during and after your pool research and they include:

·         First and foremost will be the budget you have for your project. You don’t want to meet with a pool builder with a $10,000 budget and a $100,000 pool plan in mind! Let your potential pool builder know how much you have to spend, what you’re hoping for in your pool project and then work from there. Your pool budget may also determine the style and building material for your pool as well.

·        You need to determine the size and shape pool you want that will fit into your existing backyard landscape. Having a pool builder come out and inspect or survey your property will help solidify that aspect of the project.

·         Find a pool builder that is known in your area, has experience with the type of project you want and one that comes with referrals from satisfied clients. Ask for references from current and past clients – a quality pool builder will be happy to supply you with names and contact information of his past clients.

A swimming pool is a major investment and one that will be with you and your family for decades to come so you need to research both the pool builder as well as the building material and any accessories you will want to have installed as part of the project.
