What is the first step on the journey of owning the luxury swimming pool of your dreams? Finding a luxury swimming pool builder. But with so many swimming pool builders to choose from, it can be challenging to know what to look for.
Recognizing a Luxury Swimming Pool Builder
At Goodall Pools & Spas, we’ve spent more than 60 years mastering the art and science of pool building. From design to project management to your ongoing enjoyment of your backyard oasis, we know what is expected of us to deliver the gold standard in pools.
Here, we will explore some of the key factors that we prioritize as a Top 50 Pool Builder. Keep these in mind when researching a luxury swimming pool builder, and you will fast-track yourself to success.
Experience and Reputation
A reputable builder should have a track record of successful projects and be knowledgeable in all aspects of pool construction. Does that mean every pool builder needs to be in the business for 60 years to be reputable? No. It does mean, however, that they can reference successful projects, satisfied customers, and, eventually, credits and/or awards within the industry.
Therefore, hunt for testimonials and reviews. Keep an eye out for mentions of the pool builder in trade periodicals and websites. And ask to see examples of past projects. Remember that not all clients want the same thing. So as you browse past projects, ask questions about how the design coincided with the owner’s goals. If the pool builder can speak eloquently about the design elements and how well it met the customer’s needs, that’s a sign of a quality pool builder.
Customer Service
Good customer service is essential when choosing any pool builder. Staff should be easy to communicate with and be responsive to your needs and concerns throughout the project. They should also be willing to provide you with regular updates on the progress of the project and be available to answer any questions you may have.
Customization
Customization is a quintessential characteristic of a luxury swimming pool. Therefore, a luxury swimming pool builder should be able to create a design that meets your specific needs. Here are some elements to keep in mind when considering customization:
Pool Type. Goodall designs pool environments consisting of vinyl-liner pools, fiberglass pools, and Biodesign Beach Pools. Vinyl-liner pools and Biodesign Beach Pools offer the most customizability in terms of size, shape, and additional features. Fiberglass pools consist of a pre-fabricated pool shell and are, thus, fixed in size and shape. However, the pool surround is customizable.
Design Scope. No matter how much of the pool environment will be built from scratch, a luxury swimming pool builder should be able to offer a wide range of design options, from traditional to modern.
Special Features. They should also be able to suggest features that can enhance the performance and enjoyment of your pool, such as heating systems, automation, and filtration systems. They should also be able to suggest design features that can elevate the look and feel of the pool such as cascades, deck jets, or LED lighting.
Financing Options
Building a luxury pool is a significant investment. As such, it’s essential to consider your financing options. A reputable luxury swimming pool builder should be able to offer financing options that suit your budget and needs. They should be able to work with you to determine the best financing option, such as a home equity loan or pool loan.
