Use this list of qualities of a good pool contractor to help you find the right one.
There’s nothing like wintery weather to make you start dreaming of the heat of the sun and cooling off in your own pool. If this coming year is going to be the year that you turn those dreams into reality, you’re going to need to find a trustworthy pool builder. Swimming pool installation is something that must be left to the professionals, so once you’ve gathered your dreams and ideas, use this list of qualities of a good pool contractor to help you find the right one.
References
One of the first places we go when looking for a professional is friends and family for their recommendations. That’s because solid work speaks for itself. Any pool contractor who you are considering should be able to show you a portfolio of their work and to give you references. Once you have those references, actually follow up with them. When you talk to them, ask about the timeline and how well the contractor stuck to it, if there were budget overruns, how the contractor’s customer service was, and if they’re still happy with the workmanship.
Experience
Nothing beats experience for getting a job done right, especially swimming pool installation, which takes a very particular skill set. This trade is best learned firsthand, so choose a contractor with years of knowledge and experience.
Insurance
Before you settle on a pool contractor, make sure that they carry both liability and workman’s comp insurance. The liability insurance will cover any repairs due to damage that results from their workmanship, while workman’s comp will cover any employee injuries that happen on your property. A good pool contractor should be able to show you proof of that insurance when you ask for it, and it should be enough to protect their company and you as their client.
Warranty
Swimming pools are no small investment, so make sure you choose a contractor who stands behind their work with a warranty. The warranty should be detailed and protect you from damage that is the result of their workmanship. You want your pool to serve you for years to come, not cost you a fortune in repairs.
