Crazy Times!

These just might be the craziest business times I will ever see in my lifetime! Some of the things that I am hearing just don't make any sense! Take for example the pool project that I was asked to quote last week. A couple had gotten a proposal for a design that they liked and wanted a second quote to compare it against. I priced the project for them and they told me that my price was $50k above the other proposal! The point here is that there is not even $50k in profit in the job! What we are seeing is that many pool companies are undercutting jobs BIG TIME in an effort to get cash through the door. The end result is going to be very bad for the client. In this particular case, the company that I am bidding against is owned by a guy that has had FIVE different pool companies in this area! He gets the job started, collects a big check, and closes the doors walking away with tens of thousands of dollars! Everyone in the industry knows about these guys (there are several in the Austin area) but the homeowner only sees dollar $igns so they never check them out!

We know that this downturn is going to end at some point, hopefully soon. In our case, we are still doing everything that we can to provide you with the best project for your money. The bottom line is that we are not the right company for everyone, and we have never tried to be for everyone. We build only custom, one off, projects and we have not changed in 9 years. If you are looking for the lowest priced pool, lets not waste each others time. If you are looking for a high quality custom pool, patio, fireplace, or anything else to do with your backyard, then lets talk and see if we are right for each other. We have built projects from $25k to $500k with the average being about $100k. We do not have a minimum price but we do have standards that we will not compromise on. We provide value for your dollar and have a long list of very satisfied clients that will attest to that.

Give us a call to set up an appointment at 512-335-7665 if you would like to discuss your project. Thanks, Bob
