Timing

When to hire

Peak Season

Pool builders book up quickly in spring for summer completion. Many reputable builders are fully committed by March for the current season. Construction runs from April through October, weather permitting.

Best Time to Book

Fall and winter (October-February) for design consultations and contract signing, with construction scheduled for early spring. This gives you the best chance of swimming by July. Some builders offer off-season discounts of 5-10% for contracts signed before March.
