We have a home in the Jaco area and plan to have a pool & outdoor living area built. Can anyone recommend a trustworthy builder/contractor that can design and build this for us?
Thank you,
Mark & Carol
Indianapolis, INI have asked our Recommended Realtors in Jaco to recommend someone and sorry! But they’ve been out all day… Will post here as soon as I get the information…

We recently had a [url=http://www.ecopiscinas.net/index.php]fiberglass pool[/url] installed and patio area built, but just asked around locally, and used a builder who had done some work for us before. We are very happy with the results.
If you speak Spanish I recommend Mainor Rojas.
He semi-finished my place while I was traveling back and forth from the Empire.
He took progress photos and emailed me every day.
He’s honest, picky, an electrical engineer, and built many hi-end houses up this way.He has become a good friend.
Nearly all of the gringoz he built for also have construction experience so he picked up many, many tricks from guys like us.He also has a furniture builder working for him that makes the guys in Sarchi look incompetent.
He beat the estimate of another Tico ” contractor’ by 30 grand. He charges realistically.

Kendall Pecou kpecou@gmail.com is a contractor that Lisle Head [ https://www.welovecostarica.com/public/1665.cfm ] has worked with so you might contact Kendall and ask him…

During the past 27 years, I’ve built many large custom homes and have built pools with my own crew of tradesmen. I can tell you that pool building is a specialty trade and I now utilize the expertise of one of the following companies.
The largest company with design, construction and service is Piscinas Acuarium: http://www.acuarium.com/
Another reliable company is PoolMaxx: http://www.poolmaxx.net
From my experiences during the last 17 years of construction in CR, I recommend hiring one of these companies to build your pool and surrounding deck, water features, etc. As far as the outdoor living areas, perhaps the pool contractors can satisfy your needs to construct the installations you desire. If not, once the pool has been completed, you can contract with another specialty contractor who has experience with the outdoor living areas you have in mind.You may want to consider a salt water filtration system for the pool you are planning to build. I built a 6000 sq. ft. custom home with an indoor lap pool in the Cariari Country Club community and installed a salt water filtration system and solar water heating system and they have both worked well since 2002. Living in Jaco, the solar heating system may not be necessary.
The salt is not only less expensive but it doesn’t damage your skin nor smell like an old YMCA. Additionally, when using a solar system to heat the pool, the salt water is much gentler on the solar panels. The initial cost for the salt water system was not that much more than a chlorine system.
Once you swim in a salt water pool you will appreciate how nice the water feels and smells. No green hair or bleached swim suits either. The advantages of salt water chlorine generation include reducing or eliminating the storage and handling of chlorine and other chemicals as well as eliminating the cost of purchasing liquid chlorine.
