TYPES OF SWIMMING POOLS
 
Above-ground 
* Above-ground pools are less expensive to install because of the material and construction methods involved. 
* Some above-ground pools can be taken down and stored or moved to new locations. 
* Maintenance is relatively simple and small cuts in the vinyl can be repaired with inexpensive patching materials. 
* In many communities, above-ground pools are not taxed as property improvements. 
 
In-ground 
* In-ground swimming pools can be built using vinyl liners reinforced below ground by a supporting framework, fiberglass, poured concrete, or concrete called gunite. 
* Because of the installation costs for excavation, supplies, and labor, in-ground pools are more expensive to build. 
* In-ground pools are usually taxable as property improvements. 
 
CHOOSING A POOL BUILDER
* Talk to neighbors and friends who have swimming pools for information and recommendations about pool companies and  builders. 
* Consult with more than one builder and compare estimates; ask for references-old and new. 
* Be sure that your builder is properly licensed (if licensing in your area is required) and can make any necessary site and soil evaluations of your property. 
* The builder should know about existing zoning, building, and grading requirements. 
* Ask the builder about any liability and compensation insurance he/she may carry to protect you in the event of an accident during construction of the pool. 
 
WORKING WITH THE BUILDER
* Utility lines (water and electric) may have to be installed or changed, and hook-up charges should be known before the start of construction. 
* The National Swimming Pool Institute points out that every item of expense for materials and labor, including optional equipment, should be covered in the contract. 
* You should have, in writing, the date the work will start and when the work is to be completed, as well as the total cost and the financing arrangements. 
* Make certain that all promises and representations made to you orally are included IN WRITING in your contract. 
* The contract must meet NYS regulations, which requires deposits to be placed in an escrow account, cancellation clause, complete name, address, and phone number of the contractor, along with other items that protect the rights of the consumer. 
 
By working with a reliable contractor, you will know the terms and conditions of all warranties, who is responsible in the event repairs or replacements are needed, who will do the work, and who will pay for it.
