Finding the Right Swimming Pool Contractor

by Kevin Smith Author

Installing a swimming pool in your backyard is an exciting, yet daunting prospect. Perhaps the most important decision you'll make (among many) throughout the installation process is who you hire to design and build your pool. Fortunately, if you consider a few important factors when looking for swimming pool contractors in Peachtree City, you'll find one to build the perfect pool at the right price.

Design Possibilities

Unless you want a cookie cutter pool, you need to find a contractor that offers numerous design possibilities. Not only does this ensure you'll have a custom, unique pool, but you'll also have a pool that perfectly fits the space you have in your yard. While many contractors may claim superior designs, let their work speak for itself. Ask to see pictures of different pools the company has designed and installed not only to find inspiration, but to see the experience the contractor has in different pool designs.

Custom Features

It's also important to consider what custom features you want to incorporate into your pool. Once you've researched these options, like wading areas, swim-up bars, slides, fountains, attached spas, automation, lighting, and more ask the contractor if they offer these features. A quality contractor will offer numerous custom features to ensure you get everything you want in your new pool.

Experience

Although experience isn't everything, it does have a lot of value. Choose a contractor that has experience in both pool design and installation. Many homeowners also find it's valuable to have a contractor that has experience doing other work that compliments the pool. This may include fire pits, decks, or other hardscape elements.

Recommendations

Once you've narrowed down the list of possible contractors to hire, look for specific reviews on their website as well as other consumer ratings websites. The contractor should be a member of the Better Business Bureau as well as other professional organizations.

Written Estimate

Finally, be sure to obtain written estimates from the swimming pool contractors in Peachtree City you're considering. These estimates can vary widely depending on the material they use as well as equipment that's used during the construction. Obtaining quotes from a few different contractors can help you get a good idea of the industry standard for prices. The contractor should be happy to answer any questions you have about the estimate and clarify any points. You shouldn't feel rushed into signing a contract until you fully understand the estimate.
