Pinnacle Pools and Landscape Presents 4 Important Questions to Ask Your Pool Builder
Choosing a pool builder can be difficult, especially in the greater Sacramento area, due to the number of options. Would-be pool owners should make a questionnaire before contacting a pool construction company.
Pinnacle Pools and Landscape, a team of experienced pool building professionals in Elk Grove, CA, knows the signs of a good or bad contractor.
Question #1: Are They Licensed and Insured?
It is important to be sure that any contractor has the experience necessary to do the work and that they will be covered if someone is injured at the pool construction site or if anything exposes them to liability. Homeowners should not be left with the responsibility of dealing with the consequences if something goes wrong. Liability insurance and workers compensation insurance are essential.
They should also have experience with pool system construction in general and the type of pool you are building.
Question #2: Do They Provide a Written Estimate and Timeline for the Project?
If pool construction begins without a firm plan and budget, the risks are high that the project will turn into a money pit and a blot on the homeowner’s backyard for months or years. Homeowners should insist on a clear timeline. This timeline should itemize the construction process, anticipated completion dates, and procedure for amending the timeline.
Question #3: Who Is Responsible for Communicating With the Homeowner?
It is a red flag if the contractor is hard to locate, does not answer calls, or is evasive about the project. A contractor should have clear procedures in place for reaching them during business hours and should be responsive. They should either have customer service representatives on staff or be able to return your call promptly.
It is generally a good sign if the company is responsive on social media sites as well.
Question #4: Do They Stand by Their Work?
This is one of the most crucial questions to ask your pool builder. A contractor should offer a warranty and a satisfaction guarantee. They should have a track record of follow-through on projects in customer reviews. Does the warranty cover accessories like a diving board or pool pump?
