Choosing Pool Builders
I always advise that you start with recommendations, but if you're feeling shy or are a little new to the area you can cruise around the neighborhood and peek at the signs in front of your neighbors job site. You definitely want to hire a Pool Builder close to your project so that your project timeline stays tidy and during the 30 day start up period you will be getting 1-2 visits per week.
One thing many pool contractors don't mention is the importance of plaster care during the curing period of 30 days from application. Finishes like Diamond Brite that have darker color hues can develop discolorations, pitting, scaling, and streaks if the water chemistry isn't handled properly during this time. We always advise our clients of proper care for their pool and to brush the surface once per day for the first month.
Choose a pool builder that will offer great advice, and is responsive as well as caring. After all, you will be working together for a few years during the warranty period so choose someone you like!
