Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers
A small or difficult backyard brings out the best in our designer. Mike specializes in creating unique designs for unique situations and he fully enjoys a good challenge. Dependent upon the setbacks and permits for each city, usually anything is possible.
Pools are among the most popular home improvements in our nation and may add monetary value as well as perceived value. There is no real answer to this question because some people love pools and only look for homes for sale with pools, while other people may not want a pool at all. There are many variables dependent upon each person’s perceived value of what it is worth to them.
All projects are different, but typically Pool Prince pool projects range anywhere from around $45,000.00 to $150,000.00 and up. Therefore, it is important to get your budget number in place while in the pre-planning stage. Not only will this help keep everyone on the same page during design process, but it will allow Mike to tell you what is and what is not possible to build. Having a clear budget number will also help with material selection and design features. We want to give you the best design and the highest quality products and materials within your budget.
The average Pool Prince project takes approximately 6 – 8 weeks to complete. However, more elaborate projects can take longer depending on the design, location, size, features, and complexity.
Mike will be your single point of contact. He is in constant communication with our customers throughout the construction project. You will often be updated weekly, via phone, text or email, as to the progress made. At a minimum, Mike will reach out to you before the start of each stage with updates and he is always available to answer any questions that may arise.
Mike, the president of Pool Prince, will be your point of contact on your project and he will work closely with our subcontractors throughout your construction.
After your pool is filled with water, Mike will go through a start-up orientation and demonstration with you and provide initial chemicals, brush, pole, net and test kit. He will also give you a thorough explanation of all pumps, systems, and maintenance requirements.
A properly designed pool and spa should require less than 15 – 20 minutes of maintenance a week by yourself or a professional.
It depends on the individual situation. We use a Bobcat front-end loader to dig the pool which often requires removing sections of your fence and/or gate. We will put your fence and/or gate back up after access is no longer needed. If and when a Bobcat cannot be used to dig a pool, we will come up with an alternative solution to fit your situation.
Pool Prince has built itself upon not only designing and building high quality pools, spas, and backyard dreams, but it has also built its reputation by maintaining long lasting relationships with our customers, even after your project is done. Here at Pool Prince, not only will our president, Mike, be your first and foremost contact, but he will also be the one designing and managing your swimming pool and/or outdoor living area. Having built Pool Prince from the ground up, Mike spent many years working in the field which ultimately enables him to understand the build and all functions involved. Some companies are design firms only and have never stepped foot in the yard to design. We see this quite often when a homeowner presents to us plans by other designers and the plans, as designed, will simply not work. Rest assured in choosing Pool Prince you will get the most efficient design tailored to your exact specifications and desires, close communication with our president, Mike, and you will be choosing a pool builder that cares about our personal relationships with our customers even after you are swimming in your pool.
Mike has built an unparalleled reputation in the swimming pool and spa industry.
