Best Pool Design of 2010

· ·

We at Signature Pools have recently returned from the Leisure Pools Dealer Conference in San Antonio, Texas.  The weekend was filled with fantastic educational programs and was a wonderful opportunity to network with other fiberglass pool builders from all over the country.  From an up-close tour of the Leisure Pools factory and manufacturing process, to sales and marketing seminars presented by Marcus Sheridan and our friends at River Pools and Spas– the weekend was packed with useful industry information.

The conference concluded with a Cowboy Themed awards dinner that honored some of the country’s best swimming pool builders and design firms. We at Signature Pools were honored to be awarded the prestigious ‘Best Overall Design’ for 2010 along with two other awards: Best Riviera Style and Best Elegance Style pools of 2010.  Pictures of these jobs will be available on our website soon. We would also like to congratulate Earl’s Pools of Pelham, Alabama for Best Moroccan Style, Pools Now of Del Rio, Texas for Best Tuscany Style, and Enchanted Pools of Albuquerque, New Mexico for Best Roman Style.  Not only were we impressed by the other award-winning pools that were recognized that evening, but by the overall outstanding quality of the builders that comprises the Leisure Pools dealer network.  The room was filled with some of the most talented and experienced individuals in the industry.

The weekend was also a great opportunity for Signature Pools to get some ‘face time’ with other swimming pool builders, designers and installers from the Leisure Pools dealer network.  Meeting in person with such a large group of like-minded industry professionals provided us with a platform to brainstorm, dream and grow as a company.  We at Signature Pools certainly look forward to next year’s dealer conference as well!

Leisure Pools Expands Fiberglass Pool Shipping Yards to Midwest In Response to Growing Demand

· ·

Leisure Pools, one of the largest and most respected fiberglass pool builders in the US, has expanded its distribution yards to locations throughout the Midwest, Northeast and Canada. This move is in response to growing demand for their superior products and a need for a more efficient distribution process.  In years past, Leisure Pools had just one yard in Indiana serving the Midwest, Northeast and Canadian dealerships.  However, due to recent explosive  and sustained growth in these markets, the decision was made to expand its distribution base to 4 new locations in the Midwest and Canada to better serve these regions.  One of the distribution locations, Artistic Pools of New Jersey, had previously been one of the largest suppliers and installers of San Juan fiberglass pools and in 2008 they won the San Juan Pools dealer of the year award. After seeing first hand the quality that Leisure Fiberglass Pools offer they are transitioning to sell and distribute Leisure Pools.  Signature Pools and Spas of Illinois (us), American Pools of Missouri, and Leisure Pools of Canada are the other yards that have been added to Leisure Pools distribution network.

Signature Pools and Spas is honored to be selected as one of these distribution yards.  With a centralized location in Illinois, we are excited to provide Leisure Pool products to dealers throughout the Midwest and to offer other dealers our knowledge of the installation process and the fiberglass pool industry. Having a multi-acre lot to store inventory and the trucking capabilities to deliver pools all over the Midwest, Signature Pools is on point to grow the Leisure Pools name even further.  If you live in Illinois, or the surrounding area, and are buying a fiberglass pool from Leisure Pools, the pool shell will most likely be shipping from our distribution yard.

One advantage to this exciting development for our own customers  is the ability to see your pool shell before it is installed and to view many of the different pool shapes, sizes and colors offered by Leisure Pools all in one place.    Our customers have always been able to see previous jobs we have installed but now you can see many different pool styles at once.  Although these viewings are by appointment only, we would be happy to schedule a time for you to see a fiberglass pool up close.  Please contact us or call us at 630.845.1145 to set up an appointment or consultation.

Top 10 Reasons a Fiberglass Swimming Pool is the Right Choice for You

· ·

It’s easy for a swimming pool builder to say that their product or type of pool is the best in the market, but rare to hear definitive and concrete reasons why.  We at Signature Pools strive to back up our statements with facts and the below list represents just a few of the great reasons a fiberglass swimming pool is the right choice for you, your family and your backyard.  Take a look at some of the reasons our customers choose to install a fiberglass pool over any other type of swimming pool for their backyard.

1. Latest Technology- The fiberglass swimming pool industry has an established and competitive manufacturing base that strives to bring the best materials and manufacturing techniques to customers.  This competitive environment pushes manufacturers to be the most innovative and bring the highest quality to the swimming pool market.  With over a dozen fiberglass pool manufacturers in the United States, the best products and manufacturers naturally rise to the top.

2. Innovative Designs- With hundreds of shapes, sizes and colors to choose from, fiberglass pools offer an astounding array of stylish designs for homeowners at many price points.  Whether you are looking for a simple place to cool off in the summer, a backyard oasis or a family fun pool, there is a fiberglass pool for you.

3. Warranty- Fiberglass pool manufacturers offer some of the best structural warranties in the industry. As we all know by now, the liner of a vinyl pool needs to be replaced over time and concrete pools have to be re-plastered and will eventually crack. In ground fiberglass pool manufacturers can offer such a great warranty because they know their product never needs resurfacing or replacing.

4. Low Maintenance- The last thing a pool owner wants to do is spend their weekends cleaning and balancing the water chemistry of their new pool. Spend more time enjoying your in ground pool when you choose a fiberglass swimming pool. The non-porous surface of the pool does not allow algae to stick to the walls and floor, and chemical balancing is a breeze with an inert surface that does not affect water chemistry.

5. Faster Installation- Fiberglass pools are a fantastic choice if you are concerned about construction time in your backyard. Because the pool shell is pre-manufactured in an environmentally controlled setting, you not only get a quality product but spend less time looking at a construction mess and more time enjoying your beautiful backyard.  Typical fiberglass pool installation takes between 2-4 weeks compared to vinyl and concrete  pool construction that can last months!

6. Pool Surface- No more skinned knees, torn or stained bathing suits when you choose a fiberglass pool. The surface of the pool is smooth to the touch and won’t scuff your feet or hands as you swim. Additionally, you will never have to deal with a wrinkled pool liner.

7. Beautiful Finishes– Not only is the pool surface smooth, but the color finishes are fantastic! Gone are the days of plain white pool finishes. With a fiberglass pool finish you can choose a color that fits the overall design of your yard. From a refreshing bright blue to a deep, calming aqua color, there is a pool finish for you.

8. Lowest Maintenance Cost– As we have mentioned, maintaining a fiberglass pool is the easiest option available today, and chemical costs are significantly less than a vinyl or concrete pool. But the most significant savings is the long-term renovation costs associated with replacing a vinyl liner, or re-plastering a concrete pool surface. Choosing a fiberglass pool eliminates the need for any of this work and gives you the best cost savings over time.

9. Water Features- Fiberglass pools are compatible with a countless number of water features including slides, jets, fountains, and waterfalls. These options can be added to almost any fiberglass pool, allowing you to truly customize the look, design and feel of your backyard.

10. Longevity- Since fiberglass pools don’t need to be re-surfaced, you can be assured that the finish of your pool will look the same in 5, 10, or 20 years as it does today. The finish of the pool is stain and fade resistant from the sun and will look beautiful for years to come. Vinyl and concrete pools are susceptible to staining, fading, wrinkles in vinyl and etching in concrete. These materials will fade over time and start to deteriorate as right away. Fiberglass pools have a proven record of maintaining their look and feel for years.

Local Pool Builder Faces Felony Chemical Dumping Allegations

· ·

A local Chicago land pool builder, and one of the nations top 50 pool builders, has been accused of illegally disposing of hazardous materials on their property in South Barrington, Illinois.  You can read more of the story here or here.

Barrington Pools, Inc is a builder of in ground, concrete swimming pools and has projects throughout the greater Chicago land area, Wisconsin and Indiana.  The construction of these types of pools requires a large amount of chemicals to be added to the water and poses a storage and disposal problem for companies dealing with hazardous or caustic materials. 

Many companies who previously have build concrete pools have switched to fiberglass pool construction for this and many other reasons.  Not only are less chemicals used in a fiberglass pool, but the construction time, maintenance and service costs are significantly less than with a concrete pool.  If you have questions or concerns about the safety of pool chemicals please feel free to contact us or call 630.845.11545 for more information.
