Expert Swimming Pool Builders in Casas Adobes, AZ

It is a system where the homeowner schedules the sub contractors rather then a pool company. Most pool companies are brokers who schedule subs for you and make money by marking up their prices.

Each sub contractor warranties their own work. You end up with a better warranty then with the traditional pool company, as it is spread out over eight or nine contractors rather then one. If the pool contractor goes out of business, you end up with no one to warranty your project. Sub contractors have a far better record of staying in business then pool contractors!

We have a low, flat-rate consulting fee that includes all of our services from design to oversight. We also provide the pool equipment, making a small profit on that.

Pool Planners has the published price lists of the quality sub contractors in Tucson. Pool Planners, as part of their regular service, will job cost the entire project for you. The final estimate for a typical pool should be within 2% to 5% of the finished price if there are no changes. Some pools that have specially engineered details may vary more, but you will be consulted about this in the design process. No estimator can give you a 100% perfect estimate. There are always small over and under costs on any project. It is also important to carefully read any pool company contract you sign. With some pool companies the contract price may be subject to change as the project unfolds.

Most salesmen want to paint a picture to you with an emotional spin. This is the easiest way to make the sale fast, with the least objections. Few sales people really understand how a quality pool is built. The pool design is important, but it is the quality that makes the pool a joy to own after the newness of the design has worn off. Your designer should understand plumbing hydraulics and how all the factors of the pump, filter, and pipe sizes all work together. They should understand structures and know how steel and concrete work. They should also understand soil conditions and the problems that can arise if there are soil issues. Sales people rarely know about these things, so it is important that someone at the pool company does. You need to educate your self about these factors ahead of time. This may take some work, but will pay off in the end.
