I'm surprised at how many ppl think this is a horrible idea. If something goes wrong with the gunite, you think Aquatic Pools (whatever) sends a guy out to fix it? NO, they call the gunite company. The pool company coordinates and makes $$$$$. I'm completely sure that I can coordinate and save $$$$$$

Throw in a little plumbing some electrical and some stone -deck work. Like i said i wish id have had the time to build my whole pool.Good luck with the build. Ill be following.
Thanks! Also to the guys with Pm's, I'll respond soon. Cooking dinner for my wife tonight!

I'm following, and planning to do the same. Hoping to start fall 2017 for some extra savings. For those against this did you build one yourself with horrible results? Also, i don't see how even saving 20-30% is insignificant. That's easily 18-20k on a pool. Significant chunk of coin in my world.

Please don't think I'm being argumentative but I can't make this all add up. How would a pool company know what a sub charged me or even that they did the work? Based on the offices, showrooms, and jacked up F250s I see around here the pool companies make a dam sight more than $7k a pool.

But every trade subcontractor on the planet knows that working direct for a homeowner is a pain in the *** that will cost them money. Also, there is no volume in it. So, they charge more.

After 100 days of pain and agony with Blue Bonnet Custom Pools out of Waller I cut them the final check. I would strongly suggest NOT using them if you go the conventional route. We had issues with the contractor in every phase of the build. Amazing how he was never on site for important things like the dig, gunite, concrete deck, plumbing, or pebbletech. Not to mention his part time crews using the neighbors as their personal toilet.
Modern Method did our pebbletech, I didn't have any problems with them - only that the contractor forgot to get them the final plans that had a spa. I paid the extra on this since the contractor blamed the extra charge on me making the pool a couple inches deeper.
Finally gave up on the punch list and fixed things myself.
