HOW DO I CHOOSE A GOOD POOL CONTRACTOR?
It is always a good idea to get more than one estimate for a construction project. We beleive that competition is healthy. We stand behind our product and are confident with our ability to best serve you.
When you select a prospective pool company, check with the Better Business Bureau in your area to see if they are in good standings.
Ask friends or co-workers if they know of reputable pool builders. Then, ask the company to take you to see some of their work. Pictures may say a thousand words, but nothing is as good as the real thing.
If you know people in your neighborhood who have pools ask them which company they used and if they were satisfied with their warranty, workmanship, service, and completion results.
Our company is smaller and I, the owner, will see you personally in the first consultation and estimating process, and throughout each and every construction phase of your pool. I am able to answer all your questions and I can be reached on my cellular phone at any time. This will minimize confusion and keep an open ended communication, so if there are any changes you would like to be made, they can be addressed directly and immediately. I find my customers love dealing with the owner of the company on a one on one basis.
WHICH IS THE RIGHT KIND OF POOL FOR ME?
There are several different types of pools depending on your family's needs and expectations. If you have young children, you may want to consider a pool with lots of shallow area for the kids and their friends to play in. If your children are older, you may be interested in purchasing a slide or diving board.
If exercise is your goal, then a lap pool and spa would be appropriate for those early morning workouts and soaking afterward.
If you like to play sports, a "volleyball" pool may be right. Shallow on both ends and deeper in the middle works well for active water sports.
If you want an eye-catching entertainment area, a freeform pool with colored lighting and soothing waterfalls will bring compliments all night.
The options are endless and Crystal Clear Pools will work with you to design a pool that wil fit your family's life-style.
MY YARD IS SMALL. CAN I STILL HAVE A POOL?
Yes, in most cases a pool can be built almost anywhere. If you don't have problems with easement restrictions, or have restrictive covenants with your neighborhood association, we can put a pool in the most restricted of spaces. With swim jets, you can swim for exercise without reaching the end of your pool!
It puts our design and production skills to the test, which can be a challenge, but some of the most artistic projects we have done were built in areas that people thought would be too small for a pool.
IS IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN A POOL?
Years ago, you would get out your vacuum hose and a pole several times a week and spend up to two hours at a time vacuuming and scrubbing your pool, adding chemicals, and skimming leaves off the top. With the advances the manufacturers have made in pumps and filter systems, the time required to maintain a pool by the owner is drastically reduced. Control systems can be programmed to turn on pumps, lights, landscaping lighting, spas, heaters and waterfalls. Why, you can even call your pool from a telephone and have the spa ready and the lighting on when you get home from your hectic day!
Owning a pool should be a pleasant experience and at Crystal Clear Pools we make that a reality for you.
WHAT ABOUT WARRANTIES ON MY POOL?
Crystal Clear Pools offers equipment warranties on all installations. All pumps,filters, heaters, lighting systems, cleaning systems, and control systems carry very good manufacturers warranties of at least 2 years. The Gunite shell is warrantied for a lifetime against structual cracking.
There is a one year workmanship warranty on your plumbing, brick,rock and tile work, and white plaster. Upgraded plaster has a longer warranty. We give you all your warranties in writing along with all applicable paperwork concerning your new pool upon completition.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO BUILD MY POOL?
Crystal Clear Pools will guarantee a 30 working day completion from excavation day barring weather delays that are out of our control
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE COST TO FILL THE POOL UP?
The average cost to fill a 16 x 32 pool up is approximately $100.00 to $150.00 in most areas. We encourage you to call your local water company and ask how much you are charged per gallon. You can then figure out the approximate cost by multiplying the cost per gallon by the number of gallons of water your pool holds.
