The things worth knowing before you sign anything.

Most pools in Florida are paid for with a home improvement loan, a home equity line of credit, or a pool specific lender. If you do not already have financing in place, we work with a trade partner who can help. A package priced at $69,000 becomes a monthly number once it is financed, and for a lot of families that is the number that actually decides the project.

We are not a lender and we do not take a cut of your financing. What we can do is give you a written fixed price quickly, which is the document a lender will ask for. If you have a preferred lender you have already prequalified with, we are more than happy to work with them. If you do not, visit our financing page, where you can apply directly through our site with one of our financing partners.

Before you compare quotes from three builders, make sure you are comparing the same things.

• Is the deck included, and how many square feet of it
• What interior finish is quoted, and by which manufacturer
• Is a heater included, or is it an add on
• Is the electrical hookup to the equipment pad in the price
• Who pulls the permit, and are the permit fees included
• What happens to the price if the crew hits rock, muck, or a high water table
• Is the screen enclosure included, and who coordinates it
• What the payment schedule looks like, and what is due before work starts

Ask every builder those eight questions in writing. The answers usually explain a price gap far better than the marketing does.

The details of your warranty are included in your contract and visible for you to review prior to signing. All of the major portions of the warranty, such as the structural shell, the interior finish and the installed equipment, are each covered under their own terms, and equipment carries the manufacturer's warranty in your name rather than ours.

How long does a pool take? Permitting varies a great deal by municipality, and construction depends on weather and inspections. We give you a schedule at contract and call you when a phase changes.

Can I change something in a package? Yes. The packages exist so most people do not have to, but changes are priced in writing as a change order and signed by the client before any work is executed.

Do you build screen enclosures? Not in the package price. We coordinate with enclosure contractors and can quote it separately.

What areas do you cover? The Tampa Bay area and Central Florida. If you are on the edge of that, call and ask.

Do you do the pavers too? Yes. The paver deck is included in the package price rather than quoted separately by someone else, which is a large part of why the pricing holds. We also do paver driveways and walkways as standalone work.
