What’s the Best Season to Buy a Pool? - Buy A Pool NJ

By starting the process in early spring, you will have enough time to schedule the construction prior to the rush of season...

This is a common question facing many New Jersey homeowners each year. Good news is, there’s really no bad time to invest in a pool. Just be cognizant of seasons as well as when you would ideally like to start enjoying your pool. Check out the best times to buy a pool:

Buy A Pool - Spring

This is an ideal time to buy a pool, especially if you want to enjoy a full summer of pool parties. By starting the process in early spring, you will have enough time to schedule the construction prior to the rush of homeowners doing the same thing and booking up the pool contractors. In addition, new products and liner designs that are new to the market will be made available to you so you can rest assured you have the latest styles. The only disadvantage to starting in spring, particularly at the start, is that the weather is still iffy, with heavy rains and even late-season snow delaying construction.

Buy A Pool - Summer

If you don’t mind not using your pool till the end of the summer or even early fall, you can start to plan your project in summer. However, you may face booked schedules from busy pool contractors. Many pool companies are doing a lot of pool openings and less new construction, so be prepared to wait. Even if the pool is completed by end of summer, you’ll still have to wait to get the decking and landscaping. If you don’t mind using an unfinished pool area, go right ahead!

Buy A Pool - Fall

If you start in fall, you’re at least resigned to the fact that you won’t be using your new pool till next year. However, fall is a great time to plan a pool, as you have your pick of pool contractors who will take the time to work with you on designs. The weather is still mild, it’s dry, and therefore ideal for big construction projects with minimal delays. You can also invest time and resources into getting the surrounding decking and landscaping finished before the following summer.

Buy A Pool - Winter

Thanks to those freezing New Jersey winters, you won’t be able to break ground in winter. That said, it’s still a perfect time to start your research. Interview a few companies and get estimates. Take your time choosing. Ask for deals, which contractors will be more likely to give at this time of year in order to secure your business.

It’s still mid-summer -- still a perfect time to buy a pool, so give Central Jersey Pools a call now to get started with a design and estimate. We would be happy to work alongside you for the perfect backyard oasis!
