If you have decided to
have a pool installed in your home, it is better to hire a pool
builder rather than take matters into your own hands. The first thing
that you have to do in selecting a pool builder is that you review
their websites and canvass on the designs that they offer and the
rough approximation of the expenses as well. See to it that the
dealer has a certified service professional (CSP) on staff to ensure
quality service.
You may also want to ask
a list of references (at least three) from the pool builder and ask
these people about the kind of service they received from the
builder. Do not forget to have everything in black and white, hence
have everything documented, especially if the salesperson makes
promises or claims in relation to the purchase, construction, or
warranty of the pool. Visit the pool company's showroom and assess
the professionalism of the people there. Trust your instincts when
you feel that there's something off about them, and never strike a
deal if you feel uncomfortable in any way.
Before you sign any
proposals or deals, give it a quick run through and make sure that
you understand everything. Make sure that the pool company is also
licensed with the Registrar of Contractors and if they are accredited
by the Better Business Bureau.
