credentials to do this?
Tips
Here
are some tips you can use in order to find the right builder for you:
-
Search online or the business Yellow Pages for some builders that have websites. On the internet you can find some of the best swimming pools builders. Regarding what they specialize in and their business they will have plenty of information. Looking for any sample photos is one of the first things you must do. The photos can provide you with ideas if you don't know what you want.
-
Contact them to set up an appointment if you find some that interest you. To see what they have visit their showroom. Let them know what kind of design you want. Since custom pools are designed different than ordinary pools, it takes different material to build one.
-
Pay attention when the representative is speaking to you. Are they knowledgeable about what they're selling? Do the in ground pool builder answer all of your questions to your satisfaction? Don't allow anyone to bully or coerce you into getting something you're not sure of or don't want.
-
Make sure you know how much you plan to spend, with a surplus over your specified amount.
-
Find out what the policies are for a down payment. If the builder requires one, make sure that it's not an outrageous amount. Also, don't allow them to coerce you into paying more than you need to prior to the work at least being halfway completed.
