What You Need To Know Before Buying a Swimming Pool
May 22, 2023
Adding a pool to your home is a big step for most families. A swimming pool is a great addition to any property. Not only does a swimming pool generally increase the value of your property, more importantly, but it also offers a special, dedicated space for you and your family to have fun, relax, meet up with friends, and exercise—it’s like a gym, function room, and playroom all rolled into one.
A good quality swimming pool doesn’t come cheap, though. While there are options available to suit most budgets, adding a swimming pool to your home is something you don’t want to cut corners on. Like any large expenditure, you want to make sure you are getting a quality product from a reputable supplier. So how do you pick the right pool builder for your project? In this article, we’ll give you a few tips on what to look out for and explain why contacting Narellan Pools is a great idea.
Everybody has different budgets when it comes to how much they are looking to spend on a new fiberglass swimming pool. Working out your budget is one of the first steps you should take, but before you can do that you need to know how much a pool might cost. A lot of pool builders may seem similar in price, but it’s important to do a deep dive on the price breakdown. A local company will likely be cheaper even if the shell is the same price due to delivery costs. It’s also worthwhile checking if all additional fees are included (e.g. planning permissions) or if you have to pay for those separately.
No company is going to proclaim in their marketing that they offer a poor service. The best way to get a real feel for the type of service and quality a company offers is to seek out feedback from existing clients. Speak to friends, family, colleagues, checking review sites, and read social media. Just keep in mind that feedback tends to be more negative online—people are more likely to review something when they are unhappy than when everything went well.
Installing a swimming pool comes with its fair share of legal work. Planning permissions, permits, and health and safety compliance are all vital to a successful and smooth installation. Reputable pool builders will handle all these requirements as part of the installation process, but it’s worthwhile checking none-the-less.
Pools come in a wide variety of designs and styles, from fiberglass pools to concrete; small pools to large multi-purpose areas. Most pool builders will offer a range of choices, but will likely be focused on one particular type or style. Once you have decided what kind of pool you are looking for, check for pool builders that are focused on that type. A pool builder with specialist experience in the type of pool you want will be more likely to offer a hassle-free installation process.
Good communication is crucial to any successful construction project. The most skilled craftsmen in the world aren’t much use if they aren’t communicating with the client about their needs. Contact a few pool companies and get a feel for how responsive they are, which will reflect on how smooth the installation process is likely to go.
