Featured Reviews for Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Wilmette

Barrington Pools
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Wilmette
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.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 9, 2013
“Sunset Pools (Nick Luisi) and I work on many projects together where he designs and installs the outdoor pool and landscaping, and we provide and install the outdoor entertainment systems including TVs and full outdoor music. We have had tremendous success working with his company because Nick can design a pool for a space better than anyone. He seems to not only specialise in creating unique pools, but he does a great job tying the rest of the backyard into the total design. Nick is very specific on what he wants to happen, and does a great job start to finish while making sure no minor details are missed. He really takes his time in making sure each project is special and is something to be proud of. He works great with his clients, and I look forward to continuing to work together in the future.”
Boilini Company
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Wilmette
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 8, 2016
“Hoerr Schaudt has extensive experience working with Boilini Pool Company. They are a trusted collaborator and consistently deliver the finest in pools, spas, and water features. We had the pleasure of working with Boilini on a residence in the Illinois River Valley, where the residents knew they wanted a more distinctive landscape and a pool. Boilini designed a 30-foot lap pool within a walled private garden, and sunken to make the area seem larger. The home brings our clients great joy and we always enjoy having Boilini on our team. We are looking forward to the next project.”

Arvidson Pools & Spas
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Wilmette
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 21, 2014
“Arvidson constructed our in-ground pool for us eight years ago. They worked closely with us to make sure that we received exactly what we wanted at the most affordable price. They helped us achieve the perfect design for our pool, patio and entire layout! Doug, the VP of construction, was extremely approachable and easy to communicate with. We love the finished product and Arvidson has been there for us with any concerns year after year. In fact, they often tell us NOT to spend money on various things such as new sand for our filter, if they don't think it is necessary. They do an excellent job of opening and closing our pool every year. We wouldn't use anyone else!”

Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Wilmette
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 30, 2017
“We chose Ed and North Shore Pool to work with a landscape architect to complete an in-ground spa and landscape re-design in our backyard. Ed was very thorough and took all the necessary time to make sure the planning process met our expectations. He was pro-active and so incredibly pleasant to work with. Ed has great communication and follow-through skills. Finished product is magnificent and better than we could've imagined! Thank you Ed - it was (and continues to be a pleasure).”

If you’ve been dreaming of relaxing summer days spent poolside, it may be time to consider hiring a Wilmette 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 Wilmette, 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 Wilmette, 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 Wilmette, 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 Wilmette, 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 Wilmette pool builders who share your aesthetic.

Once you find swimming pool contractors in Wilmette, 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 Wilmette 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 Wilmette 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?
