Default Pools and Birdcages...But NOT with T & D...Recommendations?

Hi All,

We just closed on our Ivy (it was already built, so I had no option to do a pool/birdcage with T & D thru construction).

Now, I called T & D, and they can't even talk to us for ***SIX WEEKS***.

Can anyone recommend any other pool and/or birdcage company that does great work and actually has time to meet with us?

Thanks to all! You are all so wonderfully helpful!

Angie

All Seasons Pools, 407-871-2020 are the best. Came out next day, had done their homework and already had a couple plans for us to work with. 12 weeks to finish...We have. CYV, were expecting Stephen to either say they couldn't do a pool, or it would be very small. We ended up with a 17x9. Tell Stephen that Sharon Hicks sent you. Our pool will be done in July and we can't wait. Stephen sends updates and pics as it progresses, as we are currently back in Michigan.

Yup. Six weeks wait could mean they are so good they are sought after, very booked and extremely desirable..

They are the contractors that the Morses use to put in pools.

Here are some threads on the same subject.

Our realtor recommended All Seasons Pool. We found out that they have put all the pools in the Disney complexes worldwide. They also have a top rating with the BBB. Give them a call, talk to Stephen, let him come out and go thru everything with you. Then make a decision. I think you will be impressed, just like we were. Good luck!

Thanks, Sharon! There were some pretty derogatory comments about All Seasons on TOTV so I wasn't too sure about calling them...BUT, it sounds like you had a great experience with them. It definitely wouldn't hurt to give them a call and set up an estimate. I have one estimate from EML pools (I like that they will use San Juan fiberglass pools...very great designs!), but really want to get at least 2 other bids for such an expensive project.

I did see a couple negatives, and also the same of T&D. Just do your homework and decide who you feel most comfortable with. You will make the right decision. Good luck Angie, enjoy your pool once it is installed.

Had All Seasons put a pool in. Took six weeks from the time they dug the hole. It will be a year the end of June. Everything went well...I use it everyday! You are more than welcome to come by and see it!

Although I'm putting my own in,
I got a price from T&D and All Seasons, T&D was $6,000 less.
They had a list of each and every cost option etc.

They also install Sun Pools fiberglass pools theycost less with many advantages over concrete.

Including install time like 2 weeks.

Steven is a bit of a wheeler dealer?????? U have to ask for many std options, if U don't you're out luck.

T&D. Can't say enough good about them. Great company, treat their employees great and treat us great. The wait is because they are so in demand. That is for a reason.

We had several quotes and waited 4 months for T&D to begin our install. They are far superior as a result of my research with them and others in this area. This is the 5th Inground pool we have had in the last 30 years and they are so good at what they do.

SALT WATER is more efficient and less expensive. We have had 2 chlorine and 3 saltwater systems. No comparison in cost and ease of maintenance.
