I would forget about T&D after market now. TV is having them build 15 pools right now ON SPECS! I suspect with their decision to upgrade specs to attract buyers who were initially looking to custom build, T&D will be even busier for the next couple years. If you are not going to use them in conjunction with your custom build, and you want to swim in your own pool within the next year, go look for another builder.

T&D when building your house is the best way to go.

we chose T&D during TV' busiest of ever times 2005/2006. We were given a start date further out in time than we would have liked but we waited 2 years after building the house so what was the big deal with waiting a little longer to get the supplier of choice? 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??

We also used T&D pools after the build because we wouldn't be moving down permanently until June 2013. We contacted them in July and had a wonderful person, Charlie Yocum, come out and check out the property. I had the idea to have a octagon shaped cage over the pool and Charlie drew out plans that were perfect for our property. They started construction in October and are now putting the finishing touches on it. When we come down for Christmas, a T&D rep is coming by to show us how to take care of the pool. The pictures sent by our wonderful neighbor look gorgeous and we are so excited to at least dip our toes in it (Brrrrrrrrrrr). Merry Christmas everyone!

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.

We probably cannot talk you out of a pool but we've had an in-ground up north since 1986. We still have our place and the pool but we've talked about becoming full-time Villages residents and a pool IS NOT in our future. The kids are all grown, the grandchildren are teenagers and we find the pool good for sitting on the stairs sipping a gin & tonic. We would just as well use the Lynnhaven pool or any other.
