There was a moment when you decided a swimming pool was missing in your life.  It may have been a childhood dream, or after an awesome night at a friend’s pool party. Maybe it was the simple sound of a cascading waterfall you pass by regularly on your favorite hike! You may have decided traveling is harder these days and putting in a pool means making more memories right at home with your loved ones! Regardless of the reason, having the swimming pool you’ve always wanted is now your focus, and you are ready to get wet! So what’s next?

Most future pool owners start with the question, “Who can build me a pool, and how much is this going to cost?” These are important questions to answer, and pools can significantly fluctuate in price and amenities. While getting quotes from pool builders for budgeting and vetting purposes is very important (we have great reviews and customer references), it is only one part of the process. When you hire J&M to design your project:

1 – We listen and take notes! Our team wants to get to know you and learn about our clients’ dreams and desires for the project. After all, this is all about providing you with a visualization of the backyard paradise you want! 

2 – We will educate you and provide you with the confidence necessary to make the right decisions. Not everything is feasible, and we may not be able to incorporate every request, but we will focus on what is most important to you!  

3  – Because J&M Pool Company is a Top 50 Pool Installer in the United States, we also know what stuff costs! Though a preliminary budget is never required to provide a design, planning a budget allows us to design a project you will likely take to the next phase and build in your backyard!  

At J&M Pool Company, many of our customers hire us prior to committing to the build portion of a swimming pool project, especially as project and feature requests become more complex.  You can get much clearer answers to your questions and see what the capabilities are within your budget when we can share a conversation while looking over a scaled visual rendition! A picture is worth a thousand words! Remember, we:

  • Ask a lot of questions to get to know you, your backyard, and your lifestyle. We call this building the “customer profile.” This is the first step in making sure we build the pool you want! 
  • Focus on your existing backyard and home architecture. This is what we call building the “canvas” in our virtual world. We spend significant time checking terrain elevations, setbacks, drainage, access points, tree lines, etc, and get your feedback on elements of the yard you want to keep or change.
  • With the information above, we put together a site plan of all the requested features and amenities and let the design juices flow! Our focus is directed toward the design details and we begin to bring the story of your custom swimming pool to life with our rendering software. The final result is illustrated with a 3D rendering of your homesite and custom poolscape, meticulously created and designed specifically for you! 

Now is the time to revisit that quote, and make the 3D rendition a reality!
