How to find a pool contractor
If you’re a first-time pool owner or if you’re looking for a new pool service contractor, here are a list of questions to ponder and services a contractor may offer. Understand what’s in, and not in, the contract before you commit. A pool contractor will usually:
- Test the pool chemistry
- Add chemicals
- Skim debris
- Vacuum the pool after cleaning the walls and floor
- Empty and clean skimmer baskets
- Inspect pool equipment
- Ask whether emergency on-call service is available and at what cost.
Understand what comes in the pool cleaning and maintenance package. What are the add ons. How often will your pool contractor visit? Will it be less expensive if you sign a season-long contract. Ask if the potential pool contractor offers a free cleaning so you know what he does and how he does it.
Ask for references from prior and current customers. Ask about any specialized training the contractor has. Ask how long they have been in business. You need to gain as much of an understanding of the potential pool contractors professionalism as possible before you sign a contract. Remember, too that you don’t want to shop on price alone. Make sure you compare quotes apples-to-apples and ask for clarification on any items in the maintenance contract that you don’t understand.
