"It started great until this last couple of weeks. Quick rundown: Over the past few months my mother has been sick and has been taking care of her. My mother passed away in the middle of October and I had to pay for the funeral out of pocket. The following week Pool Scout came out to my home and I called in for payments. I told the lady DO NOT KEEP MY CARD ON FILE because at the beginning of the month I will be using another card So first she drafted more money than what I approved. I let that slide BUT THEN I looked at my bank account on Nov 1st and just who drafted my card. Bad business. I have been a customer for a year so I had to cut ties."

"This is probably THE BEST service I have ever received in my life. I contacted Edwin through a web form after researching online for inground concrete pool installation. Edwin called me the next day (it was Sunday when I filled out the form). Edwin is the owner of this business and is one of the nicest people on earth. Very courteous, polite and above all the consummate professional. We talked about my project and my budget and he came out that day to take a look at our backyard. Within a week, we had a contract and Edwin explained the timeline. the process and everything that would be involved in building a pool. And believe me, there is A LOT involved. It is a huge undertaking and with the right contractor, it can be a breeze but with the wrong contractor it can turn into a nightmare. And that was my fear to begin with. But Edwin simply 'melted' those fears because he is such a professional. His crew, everyone, from Carl (the heavy equipment operator) to Uve (I hope I got his name right - the site manager) to Adam (the electrician) and all the other sub contractors that came to our yard, they were all the consummate professionals. We broke ground in the third week of October (after signing the contract in August - it takes a few weeks for the City of Raleigh to open the permit) and believe me, by New Year Edwin was going to put water in our pool :). We had to slow him down and ask him to push the time line a bit because we simply did not want the start up process to happen during winter, not that there is anything wrong with that. Edwin listened and responded to all of our requests with such care and attention. He was on top of things, he responds to texts and made sure that all of our permitting inspections pass without any issues. If you ever thinking of putting a pool, please, please, please do your diligence and research and make sure to hire the right contractor because the process is so complex and having the right contractor, like Edwin, makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE. I would be more than happy to speak with whomever in more detail if they want a reference for Edwin. I can talk hours about our experience with him and it is ALL GOOD. Edwin and his team are probably one of the best contractors in NC when it comes to pools. They know their stuff so well and trust me, THAT IS SOOO IMPORTANT in a project of such magnitude. I am attaching a few pictures of our pool progress and the finished product. we are extremely happy with Edwin, his work, his passion, his commitment, his desire to help and always be helpful, his team and his knowledge. And one last thing, we have had the pool now for almost three year. We are extremely happy and have enjoyed it tremendously and feel like it was the right investment. A couple of times that I had an issue with the app, Edwin was most resourceful and helpful. I feel like I can always go to him and ask for help and he is always ready to help. Thank you Edwin and Team."

Pool Construction and Installation questions, answered by experts

Check with your local laws, which might state that you have to build a fence around your plunge pool. If you have children or pets or live in an area with abundant wildlife, you should consider building a fence around your pool for safety. Pools can present a drowning hazard, and while plunge pools are not very deep, younger children can get hurt if they try to dive into them. A fence can help protect your family and visitors from injury.

The regulations for pool fence heights vary by state, so be sure to research what the legal, minimum height is in your area before purchasing or installing a fence. Though every region is different, generally a pool fence must be at least 4 and ½ feet high. If you’re unsure whether you need a fence around your pool, and how high that fence should be, contact a local pool enclosure expert to help you successfully, and safely, move forward.

Each state has its own regulations about pool fences, and laws to protect both swimmers and pool owners. Before installing a pool, you’ll need to research what the pool laws in your state, city, and county are to ensure that you’re adhering to the legal regulations. Inground pools typically need to have a fence around the entirety of them, but the rules regarding above-ground pools are less stringent. A good rule of thumb is to always have a fence around your pool to ensure safety for all. 

Increases living space and adds value to the home through enhanced utility.

If you don’t have the budget for one, there are numerous ways to warm up your pool without a heater. You can improve the insulation, use solar covers to trap heat from the sun, or even let a black hose sit in the sun until it heats up and delivers fresh, warm water straight to your pool.
