There is no big deal....just a state of mind.

I personally designed our pool and deck area and bird cage and T&D built it the way we psecified.

The have the knowledge, the have the equipment, they have the crews, they use the best equipment for controls/pumps/etc.

And for those who claim "attitude" as an issue.... it takes two parties to complete an attitude....and of course it is always the other guy,....eh?

Their follow up on any after the insatll is as good as it gets.

I did have three quotes and T&D was in the misddle. The top priced one was a smaller company who was so busy the only way they managed their schedule was by raising the price.

Can one get a a cheaper/less expensive pool? Of course and we all know we get what we pay for....eh??

Ditto on the above post. We have had 4 pools built in the past and we shopped several other pool contractors to build this one. T&D was very close in price being only 2000 dollars more than the second best quote. Now I have a lot of experience with this and feel that is why the pricing was very close. I made sure I was talking apples and apples.
After using a magnifying glass to analyze quality of workmanship and value of equipment like pump etc. T&D won out there for sure. Of the last five homes and pools, I find T&D by far the best. They only build approximately one home per day or about 300 plus per year, they have more customers than time to build. That may come off as arrogant to some, but I found it an asset to be so sure and positive of their company.
