Looking into getting a pool and it seems we've got it narrowed down to three companies. Any thoughts/experiences about the following? Thanks

I did this same exercise last summer. My answer on all three is "expensive" relative to my other finalists. PM me if you want to know the three I narrowed it down to...good luck in your bid process by the way, it can be a lot to take in and decide.

I'm curious why good, useful information is discussed via PM and useless discussions regarding *GASP* people who drive with snow on their cars, cops & teachers salaries and "This town is better than this town" topics are discussed openly.

Libel and slander are scary words! And - terms of service, no advertising allowed.

Just my guesses.

What if we just mention companies that have done a great job - either for yourself or a friend? Anyone who wants to warn me against a particular company because they have seen bad work either personally or at a friend's house can PM me.

Terms of service stuff.
Falls into advertising I guess, plus CD doesn't want "The Man" coming after them for smack talking, AKA "Libel & slander".
What is the world coming to?...

anyone that wants to get a pool should at least check into all the details about it first so they don't have bad surprises. at least you should review a swimming pool builders guide to pool planning tips at California Inground Pool Contractors when you do finalize a deal at least you'll know you've covered everything. work with a quality pool company and you'll most likely get what you expect and with good service ...good luck...get that pool and GO swimming!
