Aiming to educate the prospective buyer before they buy. Is a pool right for you?

Busy - Busy - Busy .......Wet- Wet- Wet
The swimming season in Minnesota got a late start this year due to wet and cooler weather in May. Not quite the torrid weather we have been having for the last 10 years but with Temps in the mid to upper 80s all summer, it has been a return to pleasant swimming years of the 80s and 90s.
AND - Of course, this year, we knew the early season would be hectic as usual as we worked through the busy schedule and wet conditions. Its not like we haven't been through this before (32nd year for Russ)..But - On top of that, we had late Spring road restrictions due to late winter weather which meant we couldn't get trucks hauling dirt on the road until May 9th. So we got started two weeks late, but using all of our guys, managed to get 4 pools in the ground by June 15th.

NEW SUMMER 2008 UPDATE
OUR SWIMMING POOL ORDER POLICY
We will continue our commitment to take care of our customers by building only as many pools as we can PROFESSIONALLY build again this coming year (2008). We will schedule only 10 - 20 pools per year to keep our quality at peak performance and our customer relations as high as possible. After meeting our building schedule goals of no more than 4 weeks out, we will stop taking orders for new pools to focus on the pools at-hand. We intend to remain highly professional and keep our jobs manageable and keep our employees in-house. (We do not sub-contract our swimming pool construction work out as some companies do). However as stated elsewhere, this policy means that occasionally we have to turn down work as a result of being too busy. Of course the natural progression would be to expand the company to take in these extra customers, and we have heard that suggestion too many times, but this is not something I intend to do. Quality is something that has to be managed and nurtured, not sacrificed for higher sales. We are sorry if you may have been affected by this .--- Russ Hanson - Owner, All About Pools Inc.

"In Minnesota we treasure our summers and pack in as much quality fun as we can. However - it seems like that is getting tougher to do lately."

Life keeps getting more complicated and the family seems to be going in different directions.
You need exercise, but either refuse to do it or don't have the time.
That trip up north to the cabin is getting just like a Monday morning commute to work during rush hour. (Only three times as long). You feel the need to find an oasis that doesn't take a trudge through the jungle to get to.

If you do, maybe a backyard swimming pool is the answer. At All About Pools, we are committed to helping people find ways to make this happen. With the interest rates low right now, it is a good time to invest in something that will be with you for probably as long as you own your home. The maintenance issues are being addressed with better technology and new products every year. We use industry standard Hayward Filtration and heating systems. In fact going"totally Hayward" means double the warranties to the customer. The new Hayward heaters (as of 2006) have cooper nickel plating extending the life of the heaters to far more than before. The Coverstar automatic pool cover and the Polaris automatic pool cleaners are staples of our current sales and customers couldn't be happier with the results. The heat and chemical savings are huge! Not to mention the convenience and safety of the automatic locking pool cover. Just operate the keyswitch to close the cover and then take the key with you. Another item that customers are flocking to lately is the new Hayward Color-logic LED underwater pool light that changes color - or- with the flick of the switch - stop it on the color you want. Another popular item is the Polaris mini-jet waterfalls. At strategically placed points on either side of the pool, you can have these jets spray a 12 foot cascade into the air and meet another cascade from the other side to create a beautiful "meeting of the waters" at mid-pool.
Other items that we build into our pools are slides, diving boards (with extended deep end floors for safety), and full width of the pool stairs. We offer Hayward filters, pumps and heaters as our standard, but we are satisfied with the quality of a few other manufacturers products and would be willing to work with the customer on their preference, should that come up. Our vinyl liners are manufactured by Premier Liners and come in a myriad of designs and offer a couple of options regarding thickness.
In completing this statement, let me just say a couple of things that may set our company apart from the other twenty or so companies around the metro area. Pool building contractors around town (ourselves included) all offer similar product. There are some variations, but for the most part, they are pretty similar especially when it comes to the quality of the material product offered. However, the customer should be informed that what differentiates one company from the other is the level of experience their people bring to the table.
"In my opinion, the inground vinyl lined swimming pool is about 75 to 80 percent workmanship and 20 to 25 percent product, given that it is essentially a hand-made product as a whole."
What we are selling at All About Pools Inc is both our workmanship and our product. But while one is similar, the other is very different. What sets us apart from the rest is our abilities and experience. Ask anyone that has dealt with contractors before. They will tell you to go with experienced builders. I have been building pools for 30 years, am still doing the building and on the job making sure things are done right. Along with our experienced pool building crew, we get the job done right the first time. No surprises - We handle the expected problems as they come up such as weather, scheduling, or maybe something simple such as communication whether it be with the city or maybe just talking with a neighbor easing their concerns as to what is going on. Being careful to respect the rights of the people whose community we are working in. Keeping the jobsite clean. This is what we do and we have done it for many years and we know the customers concerns and try and anticipate those very concerns before they pop up.
Also, referrals are cheerfully given to those that ask for them and we can arrange for you to see some of our projects if the situations are convenient for our present customers.
Give us a call. We think you'll be glad you did.---Owner, Russ Hanson
