Pools make for great additions to any home. Be it in-ground or above-ground, pools look good and add usable outdoor space the whole family can enjoy. But getting a pool installation company out to your property to start the project has been difficult over the past two years. This season, demand is equally as high, which means if you want a pool installed this season, you should get things rolling now. Let’s look at the questions you should be asking.
Do I Have Enough Space for an In-Ground Pool?
Pool Excavation & Construction
In-ground pools are the “cream of the crop”, but that doesn’t mean every property has enough space to fit one. Depending on the layout of your outdoor living space, an inground option might not be possible as you need to consider not only the pool but the surrounding pool area and pool deck. Have the pool company you’re considering come out and do a site survey to determine exactly how much square footage you have within the work area. They will know pretty quickly what sort of options you can consider in terms of size.
Your Budget Should Not be a Secret
Don’t shy away from the “what is your budget?” question! This is not a ploy by the contracting company to see what they can get out of you, not even close. Only with knowing your budget range can real recommendations be made based on what you want and what you can spend. Remember that financing for projects like this is always an option you can consider, but be honest with yourself and the contractor about what you want to spend. The best pool installation companies will work around and within your budget, sourcing pricing for an array of materials and options you can consider. The idea is to put everything on the table when knowing your budget and then determine what is necessary, what you’d like if the budget allows, and what cannot be added.
Pool Cabana or Pergola House?
A great addition to an outdoor pool is the pool area amenities that you consider along with it. If your budget allows, it is a great idea to look at different outdoor structures to bring the outdoor space together. Even though our summer season is shorter than some locales, it can get extremely hot, and the sun’s UV index can be dangerous to sit in too long. So, a covered outdoor structure is one of the more popular options New Yorkers are taking advantage of. They look great, are functional as an outdoor bar or outdoor kitchen, and can be the most popular spot on your property all summer long.
