But with owning a pool comes with great responsibility, which is why you want to do your due diligence first. To get you started, we’ve come up with a list of five factors you’ll want to consider before you break ground on a custom swimming pool project.
Tip #1: Find a pool builder you can trust. This point may seem a bit obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people fail to vet their pool builder before signing a contract. Be sure to use the research resources at your disposal, from online reviews to customer testimonials, to determine whether the pool company you choose can handle the job. If they’ve been recognized for excellence by the Better Business Bureau, then that’s a good sign that they’ll do a good job for you as well.
Tip #2: Create a lookbook for your ideal swimming pool. In an ideal world, you want to provide your pool designer with a clear concept of what you want your pool to look like. A swimming pool lookbook that includes photos from magazines, brochures and swimming pool galleries can help the pool designer incorporate your style suggestions and guide the overall pool building process.
Tip #3: When building a swimming pool, budget appropriately. Before construction begins, make sure that you and your pool builder are on the same page about how much the project will cost. Individual pool builders can differ in terms of construction and maintenance costs, so having that information up-front will help you avoid unforeseen expenses. Pool builders will often provide special offers and rebates that lessen the total cost.
Tip #4: Consider eco-friendly and energy efficient solutions. Investing in enclosures, pool covers and similar swimming pool products not only help save the environment, but can also help save you money on energy costs. In addition, eco-friendly options such as solar-powered pool heaters and chemical-free pool cleaners provide safer alternatives so that you can enjoy your pool for years to come.
Tip #5: Be mindful of safety precautions. If you have children and small animals running around, this last point will be especially relevant to you. For instance, consider adding childproof locks and security alarms that alert you whenever the pool is in use. You can address additional safety measures with your pool contractor.
