Winter has well and truly arrived in most parts of the country. While this is certainly not the best time to even think about taking a dip in the swimming pool, it may actually be the best time to build a pool in your home. Installing a swimming pool is undoubtedly a great expense that can put a significant strain on your budget.

Once you’ve decided on the design and size of the pool, the next step should be to consult your pool contractor on what’s the best time to build a pool. This decision may not be as simple as you think as each season offers its unique set of advantages and disadvantages.

Winter

As mentioned previously, winter is comfortably the best time to build a pool, not just in Virginia but in most parts of the country. Since most pool businesses don’t get a lot of clients during the season, due to the temperature, these companies lower their installation prices to tempt homeowners into installing a pool. This will allow you to get a pool installed at the lowest possible price with the only drawback being that you’d have to wait for a few months before you use it because of the cold weather.

Fall

Fall is a surprisingly a great time to start construction on your swimming pool. Even though pool contractors don’t offer the amount of deals they do in the winter, it’s still relatively cheaper compared to the summer season. As pool builders don’t receive a lot of bids during these months, they’ll have more labor at their disposal, and can even finish the job ahead of schedule.

Whether you get to use the swimming pool in this weather depends a lot on the region that you live in as taking a dip in the pool may not be a relaxing experience in some cities of Virginia as the temperatures start to fall.

Summer

Summer is the busiest time of the month for pool contractors so don’t be surprised if they give you an explanation about how there is a long waiting line as there are a lot of projects they’re currently finishing. As the demand for pool builders rises due to the soaring summer temperatures—with it, the cost of building a pool also increases considerably.

It’s rare to find a pool business that will offer you discounts or deals during this season, as this is the time of the year where they generate the most revenue. However, the greatest advantage of building a swimming pool in the summer is that you can use it to beat the heat immediately after the project is completed.
