Are YOU asking these 7 Crucial Questions Before You Hire a Swimming Pool Contractor?
1. Does the company have a state or county license? The Florida Dept. of Business Regulation requires a license for the repair/servicing/construction of any swimming pool, hot tub or spa, whether for public or private use. Licensure can be verified by going to www.MyFloridaLicense.com
- BE AWARE: some unethical companies/individuals may try to offer you a copy of their Certified Pool Operator (CPO) certificate, NOTE this is not a license.
- BE AWARE: some unethical companies/individuals may try to offer you a copy of their Occupational License (or business Tax Receipt), NOTE this is not a license.
2. Is the company insured? Can they present a current insurance certificate providing BOTH General Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance?
3. Can they provide references? Ask for testimonials and references.
4. How long has the company been in business? You want a company with a track record of satisfied clients. Don't be a victim of the next "fly-by night" salesperson!
5. Can you provide a written estimate? All legitimate contractors will gladly provide a written estimate. Don't accept an oral quote.
6. Can you tell me how long this project or repair will take? Knowledgeable contractors can reasonably estimate the project time line (weather and permitting delays notwithstanding).
7. Is there any guarantee or warranty on your swimming pool service or repair? Typically the contractor's warranty should be specified in the terms and conditions sections of the agreement.
