Recently sought out quotes from Fiesta, Staycation, Advanced Construction, Wiseman and waiting on my appointment with T&D set-up 9 months ago. Stewart Bell from Fiesta was at the home in Nov 2020. promised a quote in 7 days. 3 weeks later I called him. Never returned my call. Another month later I called him. He said he was too busy and didn’t think we really wanted a pool??? He said he would put the quote together and have it to me in a week. That was almost 6 months ago. Dropped him from the list. Surprised Fiesta is still in business. I guess they don’t believe in fundamental common courtesy. Staycation responded quickly and was detailed. They are still in the running after I hear from T&D who is the last quote I am waiting for. Advanced Construction said i would have a quote in 2 weeks and it took them a month. They are still in the running. Wiseman stopped by in March. Promised a quote in 1-2 weeks. That was almost 3 months ago and still no quote. Wonder how responsive they would be on the job? Also, many neighbors have shared less than stellar experiences about Wiseman which typically includes them not showing up for months or ever after signing the contract. T&D is the last quote I am waiting for and am expecting it to be the high water mark (no pun intended) for price. Incidentally, since it is taking me 6 months or more to get quotes (mainly do to me doggidly having to beat the quotes out of providers) I am getting calls telling me the quotes will have to be adjusted upward due to raw material costs escalating. Not an optimal process when it takes 6 months to get a quote and prices are good for only 30 days. Losing battle. I agree with the earlier poster who says now is not the time to add a pool. For one thing I cannot get people to take my money and on the other hand no one is willing to show up if they do.
