We're leaning towards a fiberglass pool, maybe 15 x 35 size range. Has anyone ever dealt with Central Pools in BR? Or is there anyone else in the area that's worth getting a quote from?

Whatever you do DO NOT USE PRECISION POOLS!!

You’ve been warned. Can’t speak for Central pools!

If you go Gunite- Do not use Pinnacle. I have heard good things about Central Pools

I wasn’t impressed with their craftsmanship

Russell Pools would be my recommendation

Find a neighbor with a pool. You made a friend and saved money. Congrats.

I've heard numerous stories about Pinnacle and bad work. Can you share what happened?

Bad communication and poor plaster work. Craftsmanship lacking.

We are 3/4 done with ours through Ewing. Been a great experience so far and most of our neighbors have used them on the street

What defines poor plaster work, serious question.

a neighbor of mine has a nice fiberglass pool from Central Pools. When they had it installed pre-covid with was $42K with tons of bells and whistles. As of today they said starting point was $60K.

Anyone know about pricing on a liner pool?

I wouldn’t waste your money. I did.

They use Lucas Firmin. Just go directly to him if that’s what you want to do.

Firmin Pools could not even get the main drain put in plaster without setting it crooked. They have no one on the job site that speaks English, if you don't speak Spanish.
They are SOOOOO overrated.!
Stick with long proven Russell Pools. Best in BR.
