Over the last few years, there has been an increased demand for pool builds, putting a strain on pool-specific contractors. To take advantage of the boom in popularity, many construction companies started taking on pool builds, even if it wasn’t their expertise.
While an increase in pool builders should be helpful, it is important to understand that pool construction is different than other types of construction, making it crucial to hire a pool-specific contractor to have your pool built right.
Before hiring a contractor for your new pool build, check their background and qualifying skills. Hiring a company that specializes in pools can be the difference between the addition of a quality investment and lasting pool and a pool that has issues and needs to be replaced or renovated again in a few years.
There are many reasons why a pool-specific contractor stands above the rest when it comes to pool builds. Let’s explore some of those reasons.
One benefit to using a pool-specific contractor is that in most cases, the work will all be done by workers employed directly by the company. This means that they are not hiring sub-contractors for certain portions of the job.
When you have all of the work done by employed contractors, you can rest assured that everyone is properly trained and insured.
In many cases, there are local guidelines and requirements that go along with building an inground pool. When you use a company that deals exclusively in pool builds in your area, they will surely know all of the local laws and regulations. This means that you won’t have to worry about learning the rules yourself and risk a fine and required repair once the work has already been completed.
Similarly to knowing the local requirements is having a comprehensive understanding of locally required permits. For nearly all property renovation projects, city or county permits are required. When it comes to inground pools, there are often several types of permits required. Pool-specific contractors not only know exactly which permits are required, but they also know the most efficient way to get the permits granted.
Obtaining construction permits can be a difficult and lengthy process, but it is crucial that it is done correctly. To keep the process as smooth as possible, allow the experts to do this part for you.
Another benefit of having a pool-specific contractor is that you can often use the same company for maintenance and service in the future. Who better to take care of and repair your pool than the company that originally built it?
Using a company that specializes in pool builds also generally means that better warranties are in place. If any component of your pool came from a manufacturer that is under warranty, they may have requirements on which companies service their equipment. Make sure to use a reputable pool builder to ensure your warranty stays in place when they work on your pool.
