In Ground Fiberglass Pool- Signature Pools Chicago
15th of October 2009

To Whom it May Concern,

Signature Pools did a wonderful job! From the initial consultation with Todd to the end result, and what a result it was! I look out at the pool area and smile every time – it’s absolutely spectacular!

Each member of the team at Signature Pools had a job to do and each did it very well. We were very impressed after they dug the hole that Tom managed to maneuver the pool straight into the hole even with our unique lot.

The after installation service has been excellent. We have contacted Jim several times with various questions and he has always been keen to help.

We have been extremely happy with Signature Pools and would definitely recommend working with them. Just take a look at our pool!

Thanks again Boys,

Bonita Frost

As the premier fibergass pool company in Illinois and as experts in fiberglass pool design and installation we take continuing education seriously so we can best serve our current and future clients. Every year the team at Signature Pools attends many conferences, trade shows, seminars, and webinars to further enhance our expertise. One show we attend almost every year is the Mid-America Pool & Spa Show. This is the largest pool and spa show in the Midwest so typically it’s a great opportunity for our team to meet with many of our different suppliers and learn about their new products being released. The Mid-America Pool & Spa Show will take place this year January 20 – 21, 2010 in St. Charles, IL.

While browsing through the seminars being offered this year I found one that caught my eye and if you’re currently researching or buying a swimming pool it should catch your eye too. The words I noticed were from a seminar entitled, “When Good Liners Go Bad”.

Here is the description given for this seminar:

Attendees will learn how to diagnose what is wrong with a liner and how to address the issue with their customer. Seminar discussion will include what problems can arise after liner installation and whether the issue is under warranty. Topics will include; wrinkling, leaking, fading, staining, dry rot, split seams, and customer expectations of how long a liner should last.

Keep in mind that this class is being offered by and taught by one of our country’s largest suppliers of inground vinyl liners and not from a concrete/gunite pool company or a fiberglass pool company. This class description spells out perfectly what we’ve been teaching the past 10 years about vinyl liner pools and why fiberglass pools are so superior. I’ll sum up for you here what this class really says about purchasing a vinyl liner pool:

1) You will have problems with your liner
2) You should hope that the company you purchased it from has been trained in how to address the situation with you
3) Problems can/will arise after liner installation
4) Some problems are not under warranty
5) Problems include wrinkling, leaking, fading, staining, dry rot, and split seams
6) Customers buying a liner should lower their expectations on how long a vinyl liner will last

Buying a swimming pool is a big investment and we’re here to help you make the best decision possible for your specific situation.

Leisure Pools introduces the Grand RivieraLeisure Pools has announced a new model for the 2010 season. With dimensions of 40′ x 16′ x 8′, “The Grand Riviera will be the most innovative and stylish deep end pool in the industry” according to Ashley Gill, CEO of Leisure Pools.

The “Grand Riviera” will be the largest pool built in the Riviera series. In 2007 the Riviera line was introduced and was available in both a 34′ x 15′ x 5′ 11″ as well as a 30′ x 15′ x 5′ 8″ model. The first Riviera models have been very well received across the country and we here at Signature Pools have built many of these pools since it’s original release. The “Grand Riviera” will only add to the success of the Riviera line.

During 2009 our team at Signature Pools installed Riviera model fiberglass pools in several cities throughout Illinois including Addison, Hinsdale, Plainfield, South Barrington, and Seneca. The Grand Riviera will be a great addition to the Riviera line for customers looking for one of the largest free form fiberglass pools with 8′ depth available. The Grand Riviera will be available in any of the four exclusively licensed Aquaguard® gel coat finishes offered by Leisure Pools.

The much anticipated Grand Riviera is currently in the mold development process. This process begins with forming a plug for the pool. The plug is essentially a perfectly built model of the pool made out of wood. Once the plug is complete a mold is then built based off of the plug. Upon the mold being completed the pool will then be ready for production. We are anticipating the pool to be ready for production by early spring and are currently accepting orders for this incredible new pool!
Below you will see a video from our friends at River Pools and Spas (they serve the Virginia and Maryland areas) showing the beginning stages of the plug being built for the new Grand Riviera.
