The swimming pool contractors from Swim Right Pools understand that proper swimming pool maintenance is a must to keep the investment you’ve made in the pool protected; that means you either need to clean the pool yourself or hire a pool contractor to take on the task for you. Pool water that is not cleaned, maintained, chemicals added and cleaned will quickly become home to algae and be unusable.

A contractor can give you a ballpark figure over the phone, but he will need to see it in real life to give an estimate that you can rely upon.
