5 Things to Double Check When Hiring a Pool Remodeling Company
Remodeling your pool can provide you with features that you’ve always wanted, such as a small waterfall, a tanning ledge, or a fire pit. Remodeling can also change the look of your pool, resulting in a design that elevates the look of your property and even improves the value of your home. You’ll easily get back a high return on what you invest.
But before you invest thousands of dollars into a pool redesign, you need to hire the right pool remodeling company. You have many options in the Tempe area, but not all of them are going to give you the value you want for your investment. Here are five things you should pay close attention to when hiring a pool remodeling company in Tempe or anywhere else:
Specialty
Not all pool contractors specialize in the type of work or features you want. For example, some contractors specialize in pools with vinyl liners, while others work exclusively with concrete. Some are really great at implementing water features, while others have a flair for landscaping design, such as rock walls and patios around the pool.
Make sure you know the specialty of the Tempe pool builder before you make your decision. Many contractors have the general skills to do whatever needs to be done on a pool, but you are going to get the best results if you hire someone whose specialty matches what you need.
Portfolio
You can tell a lot about the quality of a contractor’s work by their portfolio. Ask to see pictures of previous work to know what you can expect from the contractor. Not only will those pictures confirm the skill and specialty of the contractor, but you’ll get a sense for the person’s quality of work.
Look for a great variety of projects in the portfolio. You don’t want to see that the contractor could do the job just once but over and over again with the same level of quality.
Credentials
You should always hire a pool remodeling contractor who is licensed and insured. But you shouldn’t just take their word for it that they have these credentials. You should check the status of the license with the state agency and check that the insurance policy is current and has appropriate coverage by calling the company and confirming the details.
Work Force
You might expect that when you hire a specific Tempe pool builder, that is the person who is going to show up to your house and do the work. But that’s not always what happens. Sometimes, the builder hires subcontractors to do the work, and people you’ve never met show up to your home. All the work you did to check out the pool builder was for nothing because that’s not the person doing the work.
Make sure you ask any person you interview if subcontractors are used. You should only hire the person who is actually doing the work.
Customer Service
While quality workmanship is important, so is customer service. You don’t want to hire someone who is good at what they do but who is a nightmare to work with or who is completely unresponsive to you. Instead, you need to hire someone who responds to communication promptly, who is pleasant to work with, and who has good policies.
One of the best ways to know what kind of customer service you can expect is to check online reviews. Previous customers will be eager to share their good or bad experiences. If a pool contractor is known for providing quality work and excellent service, you will know it from the online reviews they get. Also be sure to check out the Better Business Bureau and other business organizations for ratings or complaints.
Taking the extra time to double check a pool builder’s credentials will ensure that you are hiring the best person to entrust with your pool and your home. You’ll get the best quality work, and you’ll have a better overall experience. You’ll be happy with the way your pool looks when all is said and done, and you’ll increase the overall value of your property, getting a great return on your investment.
