It came down to three strong contenders, Riverbend, Advance and Gold Medal Pools. All three had good recommendations and made very professional proposals. The prices for the project ranged from over $100K to $65 for the stripped down version (so yes, there are big differences in price). Riverbend fell roughly in the middle and they were willing to move on price to meet where we wanted to be. Advance (Brian) Pools is a much smaller company, but very competent so would absolutely consider them in the future, but in the case they were not very competitive in terms of the product offering compared to the two larger companies. In reviewing their proposal, I would highlight following strengths: - 1/2" Rebar (much stronger than the 3/8" that most pool companies use) - Very competent in terms of equipment offering (I personally like Jandy) - Smart approach to plumbing your pool by running pipes through a single trench so they are easier to service -Design in terms of Spa - recommended a Captain's Chair (4 jet chair) in the spa, which was a great idea. -Most of the people who would work on your pool are their employees (higher accountability), but still some contractors (ask this question) -They use dry gunite, which is shot in place (stronger) -Gravel rock base instead of just sand and they build walls on own footing (not on deck) Weaknesses: -They tend to use the cheaper rocks and boulders for copping (Oklahoma River & Flagstone) instead of Arkansas, which is harder -Hank is a nice guy, but got a bit impatient with us toward the end and was ready to move on to the next customer -Design was not as good as some of the others (less creative) and they did not have the 3d modeling demo that most places use, which really helps you visualize what its going to look like. -they push Salt systems, which have more reliability issues and require more maintenance for your rocks and decking Ultimately, it was a very tough decision and I feel we would have likely been happy if we had gone with them as they are quality company. Interestingly, when we made the decision to go with their competitor I held off communicating to them for a few days in case anything went wrong (which we know can happen) and I never heard from Hank. I would have thought he would contact me to find out what I was doing, but never heard from him. Made me feel a little better about our decision though. I would have shared this feedback with him as well. Ultimately, I would say they are a quality organization and if you like their design then you could do a lot worse than working with them. A couple of tips for people building pools: -Negotiate the sewer and gas reroute into the cost of the pool (unless you are 100% sure its not going to be touched as it will) -Negotiate ANYTHING you think you want upfront as the day you sign the contract, EVERY change costs you. -Over estimate your decking as you will want more, trust me. It doesn't cost anything to reduce it later as the cost is 2X once you agree to move forward... -Review the plans in detail, THEY ALL PROMISE things that don't show up in the plan. Over-clarify and GET IT IN WRITING! They quickly "forget" what they promised to do. I have had to do a couple times already... -IT will take longer than you think, it always does...6 weeks? No way, 8-10 weeks is far more realistic if its an intricate pool. -Negotiate any landscaping repair you want UP FRONT, or you will get your yard back looking like a moonscape...they do not replace grass unless you specifically ask in the contract... -All pool companies try to get as much up front as possible, keep in mind that you want to hold back about 10% to make sure they finish the job. They will push back, but will take the work and you get piece of mind that it gets done.

However, I will list the incorrect information that can not be explained or excused. The items that show complete lack of professionalism and lack of knowledge will be saved for last. They reported damaged exterior siding. This was not accurate and the picture they used to support this was in fact a picture of the metal door to my storage building, not any part of the home. The report stated that the storm door is lacking closure hardware. This was not accurate. The hardware was there and that's what kept the door closed. The window screens where missing. Yes I took them off when the house was painted. They where inside the storage building and put back on. Light globes where missing. Yes they where in a closet and put back on. The skirting was taken down to look under the home in several places and left laying on the ground when the inspector left. These are some of the better ones that really shocked me. The report states that the drain stopper needs repair. There is a big 3 inch silver round knob you turn left and right to open and close the drain! The report also stated no GFCI plugs for the master bath jacuzzi tub and no access to the pump. There is a big removalable panel along the front of the tub. Open it for access and 2 new GFCI plugs. They also reported the dishwasher was not functioning. The dishwasher functions great. The range exhaust vent was noted to not function because they could not find the switch to turn it on. There is a round knob on the front. It turns to the right to turn vent and light on which work perfectly. The best one in my opinion was the statement "Found a major water leak under the master bathroom, unable to obtain full pressure reading." I rushed 3 hours to get this fixed of course. THERE WAS NO WATER LEAK ANYWHERE! I can not recommend this inspection service in any way. The next buyer used an out of town inspector and the house sold with real problems noted on their report.

Very professional. Repair was completed earlier than expected. Very fair price. I have a few more repairs so I will be doing business with them again soon. Excellent job!
