Featured Reviews for Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Lake Forest

Barrington Pools
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Lake Forest
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 2, 2015
“Barrington Pools did a great job with capturing my family's vision of creating a piece of paradise in our backyard! The design incorporated all the different elements each family member wanted - they worked closely with a contractor building the poolhouse & pergola as well as a landscaper so that the whole space flowed well together. The plans were very detailed orientated and the execution was done well. We love our pool, it's beautiful & my family is truly enjoying the pool and new backyard space with family and friends.”

The most cost-effective pool options to consider are vinyl liner pools and fiberglass pools. When you need customization, you can also consider a concrete pool.

  2. Fiberglass pools are also considered affordable compared to other types, with a starting cost of around $46,000.
  3. Concrete pools offer greater design flexibility and can be customized to fit various shapes and sizes, although usually more expensive than fiberglass or vinyl pools.

When deciding which pool is best for your needs and budget, it’s essential to hire a professional pool builder in Lake Forest.

They can help you assess your requirements, consider various factors like pool size, shape, material, and location, and provide expert guidance to make an informed decision.

The time it takes to build a pool depends on the type of pool you choose.

  1. Vinyl Liner Pool: It typically takes about 5 to 7 weeks to build this type of pool.
  2. Fiberglass Pool: Building a fiberglass pool usually takes around 6 to 8 weeks.
  3. Concrete (Gunite) Pool: Constructing a concrete pool takes about 6 to 10 weeks.

Remember that these timeframes are approximate and may vary based on factors like permits, weather, and other considerations. It’s best to discuss the specific timeline with your pool contractor to get a more accurate estimate. Be patient and work closely with a reputable pool builder in Lake Forest to ensure a smooth and timely construction process.

If you’ve been dreaming of relaxing summer days spent poolside, it may be time to consider hiring a Lake Forest pool builder. A professional can not only help with design and swimming pool construction, but also aid in appropriate maintenance once it’s complete. Whether you're at the beginning stages of planning or want to revamp your existing pool, a local pool company will be able to get you on the right track.



What exactly do custom pool builders do?


If you are planning for a new pool in Lake Forest, IL, a swimming pool builder will analyze your outdoor space and your aesthetic wishes to determine an appropriate design for your yard, installing it once the plan is developed and approved. Once installed, some pool companies in Lake Forest, IL can handle the necessary cleanings, water testing, renovations and equipment replacement or repairs for your pool or spa. If not, many can also suggest Lake Forest, IL swimming pool contractors or maintenance services to help with upkeep or repairs down the road.

Before hiring a swimming pool construction company to create your new Lake Forest, IL pool, determine how you'll be using it. Will it be for fun or for lap exercise? Will the primary users be children, adults or a mix of the two? Knowing the use can help you find Lake Forest pool builders who share your aesthetic.

Once you find swimming pool contractors in Lake Forest, IL who share your style, research is critical. Review customer references and comments, collect at least three to four estimates to compare, meet with potential Lake Forest pool designers and builders in person and ensure that they are Illinois certified service professionals and licensed with the registrar of contractors before making any final decisions. In addition, get a sense whether they plan to complete the pool installation and be done with it, or whether they seem interested in building a long-term relationship with you. Be wary of the former: it's likely a reflection on the level of quality of the pool construction they do.



Questions to ask prospective Lake Forest pool installation companies:


  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Are you licensed and insured? (Check liability insurance and workman's compensation.)
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your swimming pool services include?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget? What about changes due to materials or labor pricing changes? What kinds of situations do you foresee that would cause extra costs?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
