You’ve weighed your options and have decided that a gunite swimming pool is what is best for your family. There are a few items you 
need to consider and chances are your Knoxville, Tennessee swimming pool contractor will have discussed these items, but if you’re just in the research phase, you will want to bring this up with your potential builder.
A qualified pool builder will know that he needs to check with the municipality and utility companies for underground lines. He will also secure building permits on your behalf for the project.
Gas, water, telephone and other buried utility lines will need to be marked and your contractor will understand he needs to work around these lines so as to not disrupt any service from the utilities. You may find that the utilities to your home may need to be shut off on occasion during the construction process.
One of the most important aspects to a new pool owner, the swimming pool builders at Tipton Pools, Inc find is they are most interested in, “what is my pool going to look like when it’s done?” That is a natural question and one that you will put much time into determining. You will need to decide if you want custom plaster work, custom tiles, a natural or wooden deck. Your pool builder will help you make an informed decision on the type of filter and pump system your pool will need to best operate. Will you want a pool heater? What kind of safety cover will you want for your swimming pool and will you want an automatic cover installed during the project? You may also decide you want in-pool lighting, a spa or hot tub built in and other amenities you will need to accept or reject during the construction phase.
If you have dreams of adding other amenities at a future time when your budget allows, ask your pool builder what steps you need to take now to assure you have the option for expansion in the future. No matter what you decide, your swimming pool is likely to be a structure your family will enjoy for years to come!
