So, you’ve found a great swimming pool contractor. But, now that it’s time to sign your contract, you’re having cold
feet.
Don’t worry. It’s totally normal to be a bit
nervous before making this type of major decision. However, if you’ve done your
research, then you likely have nothing to worry about, especially if your
contractor exhibits these good signs!
They’re
Properly Insured
Every good swimming pool contractor should be
properly insured. That means having verifiable general liability coverage and worker’s
compensation.
If your contractor has these things, you’re
protected in the event of an accident or damage during your pool installation.
Furthermore, this is a good sign that your contractor truly has their ducks in
a row in general.
They’ve
Got an Impressive History
If your contractor has shown you work they’ve
done in the past, that’s a great sign! It’s even better if you found the work
to be impressive and attractive.
Always ask your contractor to see a finished
product of a pool that’s at least similar to what you’re going for. If you like
what the contractor has done in the past, then there’s a great chance you’ll
love what they do for you.
They’re
Using Quality Materials
Finally, take a look at the quote your
contractor drew up for you. If it’s itemized, then you’re already off to a good
start since your contractor isn’t trying to hide anything from you.
As you look through the items being used in
your pool construction, are they high quality? Does your contractor use the
strongest and best materials . . . even if it means charging you a little more?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then
chances are you’re all set for a pool you can be happy with for years to come!
So, how does your contractor stack up? If they
meet all these criteria, then you’re probably good to go. If they haven’t quite
measured up, however, then you may want to do a little more research and ask a
few more questions before you move ahead with your pool project.
