The Ultimate Checklist For Building A Custom Pool
Mitchell Cox
If you don't have a swimming pool in your yard, but you are considering adding one, there are a few things you need to do first. This checklist will prepare you for the process of installing a custom pool in your yard so that you end up with a swimming pool you actually love without any added stress. Here's the ultimate checklist for building a custom pool:
- Check Homeowners Association Rules: If you live in a homeowners association, then you may want to check with them first to determine whether or not there are any restrictions on adding a swimming pool to your yard. Some associations may not allow one at all while others will have restrictions on size and even the style.
- Check if Property Taxes will Increase: You may want to talk with a tax professional in your area to determine whether or not your property taxes are going to go up once you add the swimming pool. If so, then you want to be sure that it's at least affordable.
- Check on Maintenance Costs: The size of your pool and the materials you use are going to determine some of the maintenance costs. It's important to go over these costs with the custom swimming pool contractor you hire. However, the other maintenance costs stem from the area in which you live. This is because the climate affects how much maintenance the pool needs. Determining maintenance costs will help you know whether or not you need to make adjustments to some aspects of your swimming pool or if you need to reconsider adding one to your yard at all.
- Check Resale Value: When you add a custom pool to your home, you want to be sure that if you plan on selling in the future, it is going to resale for more instead of less. This is going to depend on the neighborhood you are located in. Sometimes, a swimming pool won't add to your resale, however, this isn't usually the case.
- Don't Forget the Cost of Landscaping: When you add a custom pool to your yard, you are not going to want to skip out on landscaping. Otherwise, the completed project won't really feel completed. Some swimming pool contractors will work on some aspects of landscaping for you, so it's important to factor these costs in.
When you check all of this off your list, you can be sure that once you get started on the addition of a custom pool, you are making the best decision.
