The Dreamscapes team did an excellent job building the pool and backyard we wanted! We started looking for a contractor in June of 2021. We were already working with an independent designer and just needed a contractor to build the pool. Working with an independent designer helped ensure apples-to-apples bids from multiple contractors, but caused delays during the permit process. From the time of permit approval, Dreamscapes did a phenomenal job and was our primary contact for the pool and landscape construction. Our Timeline: June 2021 - design & bids July 2021 - decision on contractor August 2021 - designer submitted drawings for permits February 2022 - permits approved, given to Dreamscapes March 2022 - Dreamscapes started construction August 2022 - Dreamscapes completed construction The Dreamscapes bid was the best value of the three contractors we had quote our design. Watching them work during the process, my guess is that Dreamscapes many years in the business has earned them a network of professionals who they rely on for certain specialty portions of the work - shotcrete and plaster in particular - as well as extensive in-house crews for tile, landscape and hardscape. This combination delivered incredible quality at a price point that beat out the other contractors by over 10%! During the project, Manny and Efrain were responsive and worked hard to keep the job on schedule. We had issues and a few delays during the project, but they demonstrated clear and effective communication the entire time. In spite of the delays (concrete, plaster, pool equipment), the project completed just 5 days behind the 5-month timeline they published to me at the beginning of the job - given all of the shortages and supply chain issues I was very impressed! In addition, they stayed on-budget with no cost changes compared to the original quoted work.
