Interested in an estimate?
What We Need From You
To give you the most accurate semi-inground pools pricing, we ask that anyone who is involved in the decision making process or funding is there for the in-person estimate. This is important because Corbin will be able to address any questions or concerns you have face to face. It will also enable you to brainstorm solutions to potential problems without having to spend a dime. This could potentially save us weeks of struggling and miscommunication. Plus, we bring liner samples and physical material for you to look over together. We discuss the overall design as well as more specific details such as coping, concrete, measurements, pool bottom style, liner choices, steps, etc. Whether it's your parents, your best friend, or your spouse helping you, we ask that they are there for your appointment as well.
We also require that you have your financing in order before the estimate. We want to know that you're taking this process as seriously as we are and you've already planned how to pay for it. We love to stay in budget so if you're working with specific numbers, we want to hear them. If you are shopping around for financing right now, we recommend checking out our financing page to check out our lenders that specifically finance semi inground pools! We partner with a few different lenders but highly recommend applying with HFS or Hearth even if you have looked at financing through another bank or lending company. HFS Financial & Hearth do not do a hard credit pull and can get you approved within minutes. Definitely check them out if you're keeping your options open!
