How Can Inground Pools Increase The Value Of Your Home?
When it comes to home improvement projects, there are usually two reasons home owners even both with them. The first reason is because they want to add comfort and quality to their home. The second reason may be because they want to add value to their home - have it be a new renovation or a simple add on a home improvement project can definitely add value to your home. The nice thing about adding value is that if and when you decide to sell your home and you keep the project maintained, you can actually tack on an extra dollar amount because of that project.
Take inground pools for example. These might cost you a little more than you originally anticipated, but they will allow your family to enjoy them and they will allow you to tack on a few thousand dollars as far as the price tag goes for the home. So many people these days WANT to build swimming pool areas, but they simply do not have the time or money to do it.
You doing it, essentially for them, allows you to hike up the price a little higher for the concrete swimming pool because it's an addition to the home. Inground pools are especially loved and wanted when it comes to warmer climates. I can tell you right now, when searching for a home in Australia, my number one goal was to find a home that had a concrete swimming pool.
Not an above ground, not one of those chintzy little plastic ones, but a true and beautiful concrete swimming pool! When it comes to finding a company to install your concrete swimming pool for you, which I do suggest that you do instead of doing this yourself, you need to take a look at a few different factors of the business. First off, I know what you are saying to yourself right now - why can't I just build swimming pool myself?!?
True Story: My dad actually tried doing this on his own. He has a very nice home in Naples Florida that he bought in 2001 - with no pool. He wanted to add to the home value, but he's a go getter. Usually when it comes to home projects he does everything himself, so he thought this was easy. 2 Chiropractors later and a long medical bill, he ended up hiring someone to do it for him. Hey, if you have the equipment, fine.
But, this takes more than just a shovel and a pick axe! So, back to the factors when it comes to build swimming pool. You need to make sure the company offers an array of designs. Different people like different things. You might like tiled backsplash, whereas I just want something simpler like a concrete backsplash. You might want a fancy set of retaining walls design, whereas I want something a little simpler.
Find a company that suits your needs - no matter what the topic at hand is; size, extras like a waterfall, retaining walls design options, shape of the pool, where the pool sits, what type of a landscape it should have around the pool (fence, plants, trees, stones, etc). Find a company that has the options YOU want.
Second off, you need to make sure that the company that offers the concrete swimming pool, retaining walls design or whatever else, has a good reputation in the community that it services. Not only should they do good work, but they should have good work ethic and have a friend staff - staff that can answer any questions you have, a staff that doesn't mind taking the extra time to explain things to you.
The third thing you should be looking for is if the crew they hired are qualified to do the job. Ultimately, you can ask to see any certifications from the company, but you should also make sure you hire a company that has its own crew for installation. If you hire a company and they use subcontractors, in some situations you might see a problem happening and a lot of "he said she said" nonsense.
This is the last thing you need when you build swimming pool. The inground pools are supposed to be a relaxing and fun experience when they are finished, the last thing you need while the pool is getting installed is a ton of stress!
