| Sounds pretty decent to me. We are in Benbrook and have about the same size pool and paid 46k without a spa. |

| I am a pool builder myself and after reviewing your quote I would say it is a very fair price. Considering the waterfall, upgraded systems (pump, controls, lights) and sprinkler repairs (which can easily add $1500.00) you should be fine with this bid. I would get at least 3 bids for any project, and compare apples to apples "where possible". Ask for recent and past referrals as well. Even go look at a couple of the builders jobs, something other than just pictures ! And when it is all said and done see if the builders sales rep will also be on the job site, we do not have salesmen ourselves . . . the person selling the pool, "builds the pool". We are designer / builders and find that our clients enjoy knowing that! Enjoy your new pool !! |

| Always meet multiple PBs. Always visit other pools and their owners that are in the PB has built. These pools should be in various stages from in process to 5 years old. Remember, if it wasn't written down, it wasn't said. Scott |
