What criteria should I use when choosing a pool builder?

The best source of information will be people who have used the builder for their own pool. Ask the builder to provide you with a list of referrals; call the customers on the list and ask about their experience. If at all possible, visit pools built by the builder and see first-hand how the pool was designed, constructed, and maintained. Ask the builder as many questions as you want and make sure that you are satisfied with the answers. You may also check with the Better Business Bureau to see if there have been complaints against the builder and if there was a response from the company to rectify any problems. And finally, check into how long the builder has been around. You cannot receive warranty protection or services if the company you have chosen has gone out of business. Look for a company that has been well established in your community.

Does my pool come with a warranty?

Yes, all of Elite-Weiler pools come with a lifetime structural warranty. We will provide you with the details of exactly what is covered in writing. The warranty means that we will guarantee that the gunite structure will hold water for as long as you live in your home.

What determines the price of a pool?

Size and design are not the only factors in determining what the pool will cost. When comparing pool costs make sure you consider the following elements:

• Reliability of the company
• Quality of the building materials/equipment
• Custom designing
• Craftsmanship/Durability of the pool and its aesthetics
• Warranty
• Ease of maintenance
• Customer satisfaction and service
• See our financial section for more specific information.

Will the pool add value to my home?

Absolutely. Real estate research shows that it will add about 75% of the value of the pool. You can increase that percentage with landscaping and other enhancements.

Are some swimming pool shapes less expensive than others?

Yes. A curved shape will most often be less expensive than a rectangular pool, as pools are priced by the perimeter of the pool (the tile line around the pool). Remember we have "stock" designs or you can upgrade them by creating your own.

I have a small, irregular shaped yard. Can I still have a pool?

Our expert designers can work with almost any yard layout. You may be surprised at how we are able to maximize space in creating your aquatic landscape!

I’ve heard about care-free pools. What are they?

All pools require some regular maintenance to ensure that the water is always sparkling clear and water levels remain constant. However, the amount of time you spend can vary, depending on what options you choose when building a pool. Other builders may cut corners in this aspect, and you may have to spend up to 2 hours per week to maintain your pool. At Elite-Weiler, we feel that is money well spent to use low maintenance equipment so that you can spend time enjoying your pool, not working on it! We see 20 minutes per week as an average time to maintain a beautiful pool.

Do I have to be home during the construction process?

Most of the time, no. We would like you to be present for the initial staking and excavation and you will need to be home the day that the electrician and gas people are there. We will give you as much advance notice as possible to work around your schedule.
