1.Assuming swimming pools cost less to build in the wintertime.
We have seen steel prices go up, concrete shortages, gas increases and insurance premium hikes. Pools don't get cheaper as time goes on; swimming pools will never be less expensive than they are today.
2.Not reading contracts.
Make sure you understand what you are getting into. Make sure everything is in writing. It is very difficult to cancel a contract with many contractors after the obligatory three-day rescission period. The contract should protect you AND the contractor.
3.Not thinking about safety.
Swimming pools can be a great place to recreate, exercise, and just enjoy the outdoors. They can also be dangerous. Make sure you know what your city requires for barriers and fencing. More importantly, make sure you protect the ones you care for, and protect the ones that cannot protect themselves.
4.Shopping over the phone for a pool.
It is impossible and a waste of time. Visit the swimming pool builder or have them come to your home to provide you with an estimate. Visiting a contractor's place of business will tell you a lot about the type of business it is. If they don't have a place of business, don't panic. Just go check out some of their work and talk to references. You will surely be disappointed with e-mail proposals, as well.
5.Shopping based on price.
Usually if a deal seems too good to be true, it is! If you shop for price alone you are destined to be disappointed. Bottom line: you usually get what you pay for.
