          7 Questions to Ask before Contacting Swimming Pool Contractors


          A swimming pool isn't an impulse purchase. It requires a considerable investment, which means you need to give it careful thought and planning. Before you build, here are 7 important questions to ask yourself when considering building a swimming pool in Duluth:


          Why Do I Want a Swimming Pool?

          This may seem to be an obvious question, but it's an important one to answer because it can impact everything, including the design of your pool. Are you in a neighborhood where having a pool will add value when it comes time to sell, or do you want a pool primarily for fitness? Do you have health issues that would benefit from hydrotherapy, or are you wanting to add a pool for the kids to play in? Do you think a pool would be an asset when entertaining clients and friends? Your reasons for wanting a pool need to be clearly thought out and articulated before the pool is designed.


          Is My Yard Suitable for a Pool?

          Not all yards make a good site for a pool in Duluth. Sometimes a site won't work because physical restrictions keep heavy machinery from being able to access it. Sometimes there are issues with rock or soil that create construction challenges that make it too difficult or too costly to build a pool.


          Who Will Use the Pool?

          Think about the people who will be using the pool and keep them in mind throughout the project. If you have kids, you might want one end to be shallow. Maybe you need to include grab rails for elderly users. The users of the pool are important to its design.


          What Features Do I Want?

          Based on your answers to the first two questions, there are many features you can incorporate. For example, if hydrotherapy is one of the reasons you'll use a pool, then you'll want a combination pool/spa or a design that includes a hot tub. Perhaps you want to include underwater benches for socializing, or maybe you'd like to have an automatic pool safety cover. You'll also need to think about lighting, landscaping, pathways, fencing, etc.


          What Is My Budget?

          Once you know the features you'd like, check them against the reality of your budget before you finalize your plan. A pool isn't inexpensive; even the smallest and simplest in-ground pool can cost thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars. Prices can vary greatly, and costs can quickly add up if you make changes. It's important to know what you can afford and to stick to your budget throughout the process.


          pool maintenance in Duluth


          What about Pool Maintenance?

          No pool is maintenance free, but pools can be designed and engineered in ways that can reduce maintenance. Good filtration systems, variable-speed pumps, adequate skimmers, automatic chlorinators and sanitizers, and other techniques can reduce the time, effort, and costs of maintaining your pool.


          Who Will Build the Pool?

          One of the critical decisions you'll have to make is deciding who will build the pool. Ask for referrals from family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues who have used pool builders in Duluth, or talk to area landscape architects. You want to find excellent pool companies in Duluth and get quotes from those with a good reputation that you find to be knowledgeable and reliable.

          No matter what your budget is, there are many things to think about when you're considering building a pool, so talk to several swimming pool contractors in Duluth and take advantage of their knowledge as you answer these important questions.
