Timing matters near the South Carolina coast, so ask when your builder expects the pool to be in the ground.

Kool Water Pools Inc attaches warranties, so ask each one what the warranty covers: structure, finish, equipment and workmanship. Charleston Pools and Service and Kool Water Pools Inc also remodel and resurface, so either can look after the pool after it is built.
