It depends on what type of pool you're looking at. Many people on this site have used Swim Mor in Mt. Ephraim for gunite pools, with good results. I know several people who have used Budds Pools in Deptford for vinyl liner pools, and have been very happy. We are considering fiberglass, and have heard good things about Pool Designs Inc in Yardville. Hope this helps.

thanx for your reply hawkfive, I'm going for a vinyl liner pool. I went through Service Magic and got two of those names. Seasonal World is just near by and I wanted to see if any one had a good / bad experiance with them. I'm also going to check Nicholas pools as well. Guess I'll just keep on searching.

Hello,

We are in Northern NJ and used Poseidon Pools in Denville for our vinyl liner pool build. I know that they go all over, even NYC. We had not even the slightest bump in the road. Our build went completely as planned and was finished in six weeks start to finish including a norester that dropped a few inches of snow last April. They were awesome. Best of luck.

Thanks Flowergirl, I'll check'm out as well. Did you have to wait for the pool to settle? I keep seeying that it's better to start in the fall (fill the pool) and continue in th spring (the cement around). is that true?

We actually paid more to have concrete piers put in all around the pool to support the deck. It was great because we could use the pool all Summer and not have to deal with mud. We will see how it all survives after this Winter.

we are in flemington, and have a vinyl liner pool that we love, it is from Riverview pools. they did a great job!

Flowergirl.. Why would you have to pay extra for concrete piers? We bought our vinyl pool from National Pools and concrete piers were standard with all of their in ground pools. They actually poured a whole trucks worth of concrete around the steel walls and supports before back filling. The deck turned out beautiful!!

Not everyone wants or needs concrete piers. Especially if you will not be finishing for several months and the ground has time to settle. Our pool was completed for Memorial Day and we wanted to be able to use our yard all summer. In a matter of two months our pool, decking and an entire yard landscaping was completed. I would think having a truck load of concrete poured around your pool would really be a pain if you were to have any plumbing problems and they have to dig to the pool. Glad to hear it turned out so nice. Post some pictures.

We are getting a quote from Seasonal World this week - we were referred to them by someone who had a good experience with them a few years ago. He said the pool was completed (vinyl) in just over a month - it has been a few years and they are very happy with the pool. Said they do not subcontract (other than masonry for which our friend used their own contractor).

trying2buy, could you tell me how did it go and what do you think? I'm still shopping around, AAA was way overpriced and the sales person did not disclose all the info or the hidden charges, I had to pull it out of him when he called the second time. Good luck and hope to hear from you soon.

It worked out well with them and we signed a contract last week. Everything was disclosed and handled professionally. As always, you need to negotiate a little bit, but they were reasonable and up front and their quality checked out. Our cousin had his (very large) pool done by them a few years ago and is extremely pleased. I would recommend calling Anthony - Arte is the salesperson /designer (nice, a little long winded). They did a complete computer design for us also which was a tremendous help in decision making. If you email me, I can give you my name so you can say I referred you- Good Luck!

thanks trying2buy, my email is blacknit69@hotmail.com

The absolute best that money can buy is David Tisherman & Kevin Flemming of Liquid Design - Cherry Hill, NJ.

They ARE EXPENSIVE!!!

They design works of art - not body part pools (kidney, uterus, etc.) from a catalog!
