Q: How do I select the right pool builder?
|
·
Interview your prospective
builder carefully.
· What is his reputation in the community?
· Do you know a friend or neighbor who has used the same
company with good results?
· How long has your contractor been in business and what
is his experience?
· How is his standing with your local Building Department,
the State Department of Consumer Affairs and/or Contractor's Board?
· Are you comfortable that your property will be treated
with dignity and respect?
At Pyramid Pools,
customer service is the first and foremost concern for our entire
staff. We believe our expertise in construction, our experience
in all types of challenges, and our effort to provide supreme service
to all customers is not matched in the pool industry.

Q: I sometimes see advertisements promising
pools at very low prices. Can I / should I buy a pool like this?
| · It is
possible to build a pool at a very low price. But you should be aware
that to build a very low cost pool, equipment, structural elements,
craftsmanship, and design are compromised. The old adage is still
true: You get what you pay for.
· At Pyramid Pools, we have learned
that the cost difference between a great job and a poor one does
not have to be significant. We will design your pool to fit within
those financial parameters you set, and will give you quality and
beauty you can depend on
|
Q: Why do cost estimates vary when the pools
seem to be the same?
|
· The price of a pool is determined
by much more than just the size and shape of that pool. And, unfortunately,
many Pool/Spa builders do not include some of the most important
factors affecting cost in their printed estimates. Those factors
include:
· Craftsmanship
· Quality of materials
· Design
· Underground strength and durability
· Customer Service
· Time required for construction
· Warranties
Pyramid Pools estimates incorporate the highest quality materials,
craftsmanship, design, and customer service. In addition, Pyramid
Pools never submits a low introductory bid with the intent of making
expensive changes later during construction. Remember:
Good work is never cheap, and cheap work is never good.
|
Q: What if I have a small or difficult yard
to work with?
|
· Good builders, like Pyramid Pools,
can construct pools in yards of all sizes and shapes. Our expert
design and engineering staff will handle the most challenging properties.
You will be surprised and pleased with our innovative ideas that
change your dreams into realities. Before you give up on that small
yard or hillside location, call us for design advice.
|
Q: What options are available to add to my pool?
|
· Technology
is changing at an unprecedented rate, and swimming pools are no
exception. Innovative water treatment options, fiber-optic lighting,
spa products, remote controls, automatic cleaning systems, and many
other options are available now to make your pool easier and more
enjoyable than ever. Tell us what you would like to do...and we
can show you how to do it.

Q: What factors affect the cost of my swimming
pool?
|
· Surprisingly,
construction costs for the pool structure itself do not vary much
from pool to pool. Prices can be affected slightly by ease of access
onto your property, demolition requirements prior to construction,
and local permit costs. The size and design of the pool affect cost,
too, but not as much as you might think.
· Much of the variation in price
is based on what is called "hardscape." Hardscape is what
is placed around your pool to enhance its design. The size and materials
used in your deck, patios, waterfalls, gazebos, planter walls, and
many other features can be simple or sensational. As the customer,
you have the greatest influence on your total budget as you control
the design of your pool's hardscape.
|
Q: How much work is involved in owning and caring
for a swimming pool?
|
· With
today's conveniences, owning a swimming pool is easier than owning
a car! Pool chemical testing and maintenance, cleaning, and preprogrammed
filtration and heating can all be automated if you choose to include
these options during your construction. Automatic pool cleaners
and various sanitizing devices make your pool a pleasure to maintain.
Your only concern will be finding more time to enjoy your pool or
spa!
