Summer is considered pool season, but winter is the best time to plan and begin construction on a new pool. If you are considering custom pools in Chester Springs, PA, Scott Payne Custom Pools is here to help. Take advantage of the off-season by consulting our experts.
The first step to enjoying a custom pool is designing it. You may already have a picture of your new pool in your mind, but it still takes time to translate that into a blueprint. You may only have a general idea of the type of pool you want. This is ok too. During the design process, you’ll work with one of our professionals who will help you choose the right design based on your preferences. The pool design process typically takes between 1 to 4 weeks. We utilize computer 3-D technology, so you can see what your pool will look like when it’s completed.
There are a few reasons why winter is the perfect time to design your new pool. Let’s take a look at them.
Availability of Designers
The first advantage of designing your pool during the colder months is that pool builders are more likely to be available. Spring and summer are the busiest times for pool construction companies. In the winter, you’ll find it easier to reach a pool builder, and the design process may go faster.
You Can Take Your Time
When you begin the process in the spring, there’s a rush to get things completed before the peak of summer. When you start in the winter, there’s no hurry. You have the time to think about important decisions before construction begins. This can help you get the pool you truly want.
You Can Schedule Your Build
If you wait till summer to begin the process, you may find yourself on a waiting list. When you design your pool in the winter, you can schedule your build for a time that works well for you.
You’ll Be Prepared
Pennsylvania winters mean that you may not be able to start construction in the winter months, because concrete won’t set at low temperatures. However, when you design your pool in the winter, all the planning will be done. When the temps warm up enough to begin construction, the process can begin.
You’ll Have a Full Swim Season
When construction starts in the spring or summer, it’s unlikely you’ll have a full summer season to enjoy your new pool. When you get things started in the winter, your pool can be swim-ready when the temperatures start to climb.
Lower Costs
Generally, costs drop with demand. Because there’s less demand in the winter months, you may get a discount on pool construction labor and building materials. Items like diving boards and fountains are often discounted in the winter as well.
Landscaping Can Take Root
If you are planning to add landscaping to your new pool, it’s best to plant in the winter or the spring. This gives your plants time to take root and begin to grow before you are ready to hang out poolside.
Enjoy the Aesthetic
You may not be able to swim in your new pool while it’s cold outside, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it. Your new pool is a great place to entertain. A clear new pool is a beautiful backdrop for your next dinner party.
