Q. How should I go about selecting the right pool builder?
A. Interview your prospective builder carefully. What is his
reputation in the community? Do you know a friend or neighbor who has used
the same company with good results? How long has your contractor been in
business and what is his experience? What is his standing with your local
Better Business Bureau. Are you comfortable that your property will be
treated with dignity and respect? At Indian Summer Pool & Spa, customer
service is the first and foremost requirement for our entire staff. We
believe our expertise in construction, our experience in all types of
challenges and our effort to provide supreme service to all customers is not
matched in the pool industry.

Q. I receive advertisements in the mail which promise pools at seemingly
low prices. Can I really buy a pool like this?
A. Simply answered...yes. If equipment, structural elements,
craftsmanship and design are compromised, these "white elephants"
can be built for the advertised price. However, the old statement is still
true: "you get what you pay for". At Indian Summer Pool & Spa, we have learned that the difference between the cost of a great job and a poor job is not very much. Depend on your Indian Summer Pool & Spa professional to help you determine a budget and secure financing that is satisfactory to you. We will then design your pool to fit those needs and give you quality you can depend on.

Q. Why do cost estimates vary when the pools seem to be the same?
A. Many factors other than size and depth create the total
construction cost of your pool and hardscape. Many of the important factors
that affect the cost are not visible on a printed estimate. If craftsmanship,
quality of materials, design, underground strength and durability, customer
service, prompt construction and outstanding warranties are important to you,
then Indian Summer Pool & Spa should be your contractor. Remember, good work
is never cheap and cheap work is never good. Also remember that Indian
Summer Pool & Spa never submits low introductory estimates with the intent
to boost prices later during construction with expensive changes.

Q. How should I decide on the design on my pool?
A. At your request, a design expert from Indian Summer Pool & Spa will meet with you at your own home to discuss your pool needs and desires. He will ask you how you intend to use your pool. Is exercise important? What about family use? Where will the pool look the best when viewed from the home? Photographs, videos and other sources will help him to prepare a custom design at no charge to you...a design to fit your needs and your budget! Indian Summer Pool & Spa has received national and regional design awards for it's swimming pool designs.

Q. What factors affect the cost of my swimming pool?
A. Surprisingly, the construction cost of the pool structure itself does not vary greatly on most pools. Some changes occur based on ease of access, demolition needs prior to building the pool and local permit costs. The size and design of the pool are a factor in cost, but surprisingly, not the greatest. Much of the variation in budget will be based on what is called the "hardscape". Hardscape is what is placed around the pool. The size and materials used in decks, patios, waterfalls, gazebos, planter walls and many other features can be simple or sensational. As the customer, you can have the greatest influence on your total budget based on the requests for the design of your hardscape.

Q. Is financing readily available for this type of project?
A. The design and installation of a swimming pool is a "home improvement" and most financial institutions are anxious to loan money for this type of improvement. When completed, your pool project will add substantial value to your property. A well-built Indian Summer Pool & Spa is also an asset when you decide to sell your home. Another consideration regarding financing is the probability that all of the interest costs on the loan will be tax deductible expenses which helps to reduce the actual cost of the investment. At Indian Summer Pool & Spa, we stay constantly in touch with the leading financial institutions in your area and can provide you with information and assistance in obtaining easy financing for your swimming pool project.

Q. What about warranties? Is my investment in a swimming pool well
protected?
A. Warranties are very important. At Indian Summer Pool & Spa, we provide you with one of the strongest structural guarantees in the swimming pool industry. We are confident in the product we build and we offer a warranty that backs up our confidence. You should always ask for and compare the warranties when requesting estimates from builders. You should also remember that a warranty is only as good as the company that issues it. Indian Summer Pool & Spa has been building pools since 1989. We build our pools to last and we will be here to stand behind your swimming pool in the future. Anyone can offer a "warranty" but you need to be certain that they will be here to honor that warranty if the need should ever arise.

Q. How much work is involved in owning and caring for a swimming pool?
A. With today's conveniences, owning a swimming pool is easier than owning a car! Pool chemical testing and maintenance, pool cleaning, and even pre-programmed filtration and heating can be automated if you wish to include these options during construction. Automatic pool cleaners and various sanitizing devices make your pool a pleasure to maintain. Your only concern will be finding more time to enjoy the pool or spa. Be sure to ask your Indian Summer Pool & Spa representative about the new computerized Jandy system.
Back
Q. Should I consider building my own pool as a homeowner?
A. Think about it long and hard. Even experts encounter challenges during pool construction. Years of experience, knowledge and training will lead to wise solutions which give good finished products. At Indian Summer Pool & Spa we can offer efficient buying power, swift construction and coordination with all crews so that you have no hassles, no headaches and no cost overruns. Be assured that equipment suppliers and subcontractors will charge you more than the actual value of the work. With a Indian Summer Pool & Spa, you are the winner with an outstanding well-built, guaranteed project every time.
