What a Rantoul pool project usually looks like

Rantoul yards tend to give us room. Much of the village sits on wider, flatter lots than you find closer to Champaign, and the properties on the edge of town run out into open Champaign County farmland. That changes the planning conversation: access for the excavator and the crane is rarely the constraint, so the real questions become how much of the yard the pool should claim, where the wind comes from, and how to create shade and screening in a yard that may not have any mature trees to borrow from.

The older housing stock around the former Chanute base is worth planning around carefully. Those homes often have utilities, septic or service lines in places a newer subdivision would not, which is a locate-before-you-dig conversation rather than a surprise mid-build. Ground conditions match the rest of the region: water-holding soil, flat grade, and real freeze and thaw pressure every winter, so drainage away from the deck, proper backfill and a serviceable equipment pad matter as much here as anywhere else we build.

If you are looking for a “beyond the sale” team to work with you & even educate you as you go, it’s these guys, TRULY. We wanted a quaint, zen country pool that is easy to care for. We are really happy with the result & the great care from Custom Pools!!!

Our experience with Custom Pools was wonderful. Chad and Joey were very professional and responsive to all of our questions. They were great in helping us create a beautiful backyard oasis, incorporating the existing landscape. Their crew and subcontractors clearly take pride in doing a job right.

We can not say enough about our experience with Custom Pools. We know nothing about caring for a pool or pool equipment. Custom Pools came in and set us up with a heater. We knew from the very start of our interactions that the company operated from a place of integrity. We also had so many questions about caring for our pool, and they were informative, patient and kind to us.

I have had nothing but exceptional service from Chad and all the employees since the first day we set down to order the pool. He went through all the details and answered all my questions. He is always very responsive if I have any issues and with help keeping my pool sparkling clean. I highly recommend Custom Pools for your future needs!

Chad was great to work with and quick to follow up when I needed answers. He made the process great and up front. Did not “sell” me asked me what I wanted and also gave his opinion. 100% satisfied. Made sure my wife and I were satisfied.

Financing built around the build

Rantoul homeowners typically want predictable payments and durable scope decisions from the start.

Your equity stays out of it

Unsecured loans, so the house is not collateral. No liens, no appraisal, no title work, no second mortgage against the home.

Four lenders, one comparison

LightStream, HFS Financial, Viking Capital and Paramount, laid out side by side against a HELOC and against paying cash.

See terms before you commit

Checking a rate with HFS or Viking is a soft pull. Per each partner, it will not affect your score, and nothing obligates you.
