How do I go about choosing a good pool contractor? You should interview at least 3 contractors. Check with the Better Business Bureau in your area to see if they are in good standing. Check with the local licensing authority for license violations or actions. Do you have any friends or acquaintances that have used them in the past? Are they satisfied with the workmanship and any warranty service, if needed? Many companies employ salespeople to meet with prospective clients. They usually sell the pool and options, explain the process of the construction,and sign the agreement with you. You should be comfortable with the answers to all your questions and sure of what you are getting. Some other companies are smaller and the owner may see you in the estimating process. He is usually the owner/builder. This can be a positive thing although, depth of organization can be shallow. back
