Most homeowners think of pools in June, when the heat arrives and everyone wants to be in the water. But by then, the best builders' calendars are already filling up. If you want to be swimming by early summer, fall and winter are the best times to start.
Design Without the Rush
Winter gives you time to choose a shape, decide on features like a spa, tanning ledge, or lighting, and think through the surrounding patio and fencing. Nothing about the process needs to be rushed.
Permits Take Time
A new pool typically needs permits and approvals from your local building department, and some neighborhoods also require homeowner association sign-off. Handling this over the winter means construction can begin as soon as the weather cooperates.
A Better Spot on the Schedule
Builders schedule projects in the order they are booked. Homeowners who sign up early generally get earlier start dates than those who wait until spring.
Time to Plan Financing
Winter also gives you time to explore financing options and set a budget without pressure.
