In addition to their higher fees, our competitors may
require you to purchase pool equipment exclusively through them. Many
sell the necessary pool equipment at their retail, which is typically
40%-100% higher than wholesale.
In contrast, Owner Grown Custom Pool Plans works diligently
to save you as much money as possible and we NEVER earn any commissions
from equipment sales. We do NOT accept kickbacks from any
subcontractors, so we can always remain objective about quality of
workmanship. We will guide you to where you can purchase your equipment
at wholesale outlets or through plumbing and electrical subcontractors
that add only a minimal markup.
