If you have finally decided it is time to add a pool to your home or replace an outdated model, you need an experienced pool contractor. While there are plenty of companies out there that will be more than happy to get your business, you want to make sure your new pool is installed to last for many years to come. Taking the time to find the right contractor that guarantees their work and has a solid reputation can save you thousands of dollars in repairs down the road. Here are a few things to check for when hiring your new pool contractor:
Warranty on Your Pool
Installing a new pool is a large expense, so you want to make sure it will last. Although most pool contractors will offer some type of warranty, not all warranties are created equal. Before hiring a contractor, ask about their warranty on:
- Pool shell. Quality pool contractors will offer a lifetime warranty on your pool shell, so make sure your shell is covered.
- Pool equipment. The equipment for your pool is mechanical and can be expected to need repairs and maintenance. However, a good contractor will offer a warranty of at least three years on pool equipment.
- Leaks. Many contractors don’t warranty against leaks but the higher quality companies will guarantee against leaks for up to two years.
In addition to good warranties, you want a contractor that will make the process of installing a new pool easy from start to finish. Look for a contractor that offers 3D overviews on design so you can envision what your new pool will look like and be there through the final stage of filling up your new pool to ensure everything is working correctly.
Getting the right contractor for your new pool can make all the difference, so do your research before hiring any pool company.
