Whatever your taste, the team at Galati Pools & Spas is here to help guide you in designing the swimming pool of your dreams. We specialize in building vinyl-lined swimming pools in all sizes and shapes. We began as custom pool builders in Newburgh in 1962, and while we have since begun to offer additional pool, hot tub, and spa services, we are still the go-to source for pool installation in the Mid-Hudson Valley Region.
There are four main factors that will affect the overall look of your finished pool. The shape, the entry steps, the edging, and the vinyl liner. Let’s walk through each step-by-step, so you truly understand how a custom pool builder in Newburgh will go about helping you design your pool.
First of course, is the shape. Will you go with a traditional rectangle? Or a free form shape, such as an oval, kidney, oasis, or mountain pond? Or, perhaps you choose something specific to your site and truly unique.
Next think about how you will want your pool’s entry steps to look. Will you choose the acrylic/fiberglass units that have been popular throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s? Or will you choose the more modern and contemporary look of having the vinyl liner go over the steps, resulting in a more uniform look to your pool.
Next comes the edging — often referred to as the pool coping. Will you go with a traditional white or grey aluminum, which are very cost effective when pouring a concrete deck? Or, you could select the other option of having your decking material — be it stone, brick pavers, wood, or even concrete — continue right to the edge of the pool giving the pool and deck a more seamless look.
Finally comes the choice of the pool’s vinyl liner. The options here range from the more traditional blue color to tile and pebble looks to light gray or beige, which gives the water a more subtle aqua-colored, Caribbean look.
When considering a vinyl lined swimming pool for your yard, you don’t want to hire the first contractor who comes your way. It’s important to consider different factors as you’re designing your own pool in Newburgh or the surrounding cities.
It is important to evaluate the quality of the materials and methods that will be used in the construction process. Is a pool builder giving you a cheaper quote because they are using cheap materials? It’s possible that if you get a consultation that results in a much lower price quote than other contractors in the area, that the company giving you that quote uses low quality supplies or inexperienced labor.
Look at the reputation and experience of the company you’re choosing. A newer company will have less hands-on expertise with building custom pools in Newburgh, but Galati Pools & Spas has over 50 years of hard-won experience. We’ve also worked extensively to build our reputation over the years and make connections with local homeowners.
