Tips for finding the best pool builder for your project
Here are some tips for finding a pool builder for your project:
- What do you want for your pool? Find a contractor who can construct, and has constructed, the type of pool you want. Knowing the type of pool you want helps you locate a contractor qualified to build it.
- How much experience does the pool contractor have and how long has he or she been in business?
- Ask for references from other customers they’ve built pools for. Call those people and ask about their experience.
- Check out online reviews.
- Does the contractor have special training? Is he up to date on current construction and service trends?
When you’re talking with your pool contractor, consider this:
- Know what your dream for your pool is and tell your contractor everything you want in the pool. Share with him your budget and he can help you determine what is possible based on what you have to spend.
- Remember, price isn’t the only factor you need to base your pool construction decision on.
- Find a pool contractor who will return your calls and answer your questions.
- Look for a contractor who has an easy to understand contract. Also, a contractor shouldn’t ask for full payment up front. Most pool contractors are billed based on milestones of the construction project.
Obtain quotes from at least three potential pool contractors and don’t be pressured into signing any contract.
