The pool and decking took 4+ months in a time when supply chain issues were at the peak. Total cost was $49k. (Artificial Turf is separate - please see my video on that project). Yes, now 6 months later, we are thrilled with our decision with Pugh Pools, and going through the pool-building process. Our friends say we have a "Pinterest" backyard! We take that as a compliment! 😁

This is a very basic pool so the costs are quite low. For example there is no mention of automation, there’s no spa, no auto fill, no bubblers, no overflows, or other bells and whistles that jack the price of a pool up significantly. You don’t have to have all of those pieces to enjoy your pool. They are definitely nice to haves, but not a necessity to enjoy your pool.

Great informative video!!! Great job!

You do know that there is still chlorine in your pool, right? That salt water will eat at the travertine. Most of the savings of the salt system will be eaten away by all the muriatic acid it takes to lower the ph. The process of splitting the salt(NaCl) into free chlorine creates a base compound that raises the ph.

Hi Ross. If I understand you question right that you'd like to get a pool permit BEFORE you purchase - that'd be up to the seller if they want to go down that path. As permits can take 4-8 weeks, it could be a contingency as part of the purchase. Again, it's all a negotiation. Or, we due solid diligence based on the property survey to see if a property has space and setbacks available for a pool. Let me know is there's anything I may do to assist you in your house hunting process. Glad to help! My cell is 561-777-4089. Thank you...
