FAQ’s

It is possible to build a pool at a very low price. But most of these “incredible deals” are nothing more than a bait-and-switch tactic to get you to call. You should be aware that to build a pool at a low price, quality will be compromised. The cost of the pool may be cheap, but your time and money spent to up keep the pool could be 4 to 5 times more if the pool was not built right to begin with. Remember the old adage “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.”

The price of a pool is determined by much more than size and shape of the pool. Many builders do not include some of the most important factors affecting cost in their proposals. Because there are so many factors that go into building a swimming pool, there are many ways to cut corners. Here are some of them:

• Craftsmanship
• Quality of materials (smaller pumps, filter, etc.)
• Design
• Underground strength
• Ease of maintenance
• Warranties
• Service

Remember: GOOD WORK IS NEVER CHEAP, AND CHEAP WORK IS NEVER GOOD.

A lifetime structural warranty means that the gunite structure will hold water for as long as you live in the home.

From the day of excavation it should take about thirty working days, which is 6 weeks. Remember though, from the day you sign the contract other things have to happen before the pool can be excavated, such as:

• Financing (if applicable)
• Home owners associations
• Marking and finding utilities
• Permits from your city or county

Permits can sometimes hold up the process, it all depends on what city you live in and the time of year. Ask your Coral Pools Staff Designer how long your city normally takes at that time of year.

No. There are only a few times that we need you to be home during construction – the day the swimming pool is excavated and the day that the electrician and gas companies are there. You will also need to water down the gunite structure 2 to 3 times a day for about 7 days as well as turn the water off after the pool is filled to the middle of the tile line.

Most pool companies can build the pool so you only have to spend about 20 minutes a week on maintenance. But most builders build them so you have to spend about 2 hours a week on maintenance. They feel that price is the only thing that matters and that your time is not valuable. All of the things that make the pool easier to take care of is an option and of course cost more money. Coral Pools includes all these things in our pools because we know that you want to spend time in the pool, not working on the pool.

Yes, it sure does. Normally you will receive an estimated 75% of the value of the pool. Keep in mind, the more you decorate the backyard with landscaping, the more money you will get back on the pool.

No, Pools are priced by the Square Footage of the swimming pool. If you would like an estimate, Contact Us or call our local offices.
