With the summer right around the corner, the builders, contractors and architects jobs start to really heat up. Between April and September are typically the busiest months for those in the construction trades.
As we start to gear up for the busy season we wanted to give a step by step process of what you can expect when you place an order with Diamond Spas. Whether it is a custom hot tub, shower pan or luxury soaking tub, the process works the same.
