Default My Thoughts

In my experience and opinion I would say there are three types of people when it comes to pools.

1. Loves a pool and will pay to have it because it’s what they want and makes them happy.
2. People that don’t care about having there own or don’t go in the pool often so they don’t care about not having one.
3. People that can’t afford one , really really wish they had one so they lash out at those who have them !

Pools are no different then a high end sports car , expense motorcycles , traveling the world , jewelry , etc. All are terrible financial decisions but they are luxuries that if you can afford and they give you joy then so be it !

In regards to price I am a huge believer in you get what you pay for. If you are getting a product or service at a massive discount vs other competitors then odds are you are getting an inferior product or organization. (Ask yourself if that is true or not, we all know the answer) Pools are no different and in many case so much more dependent on quality.

I have been in the construction world for 32 years and the number pool disasters I have seen are numerous & usually crazy expensive for the owner. Most are due to inferior construction that honestly unless you are construction expert you would swear you got the same product someone else who paid more. It is never the case.

The value of purchasing your pool with T&D is the fact that not only will T&D be around and stand behind it so will the Developer. The absolute most critical thing in pool construction is that. If you research how many pool companies form and go out of business in Florida every year you would be shocked.

So, I am not telling anyone how to go or who to spend your money with, that is a personal choice. But there is a clear , unarguable, transparent benefit to T&D with this calculus. I have seen their pools constructed and they the highest quality, the people that run it are highly skilled and most importantly good people that have been part of the villages for a long time with a great reputation. Finally that reputation is not only theirs but it directly impacts the Villages reputation and that is worth a premium.
