What to look for when selecting an ethical custom concrete swimming pool contractor:

The thought of adding a custom concrete swimming pool to a home or commercial property may sound very appealing, but if you do not make a wise decision it could either turn into a nightmare.

When selecting a custom concrete swimming pool contractor for your project you should select a contractor that:

1. Has a real office in your city.

2. Shows you their contractor’s license.

3. Shows you a copy of their insurance cover letter.

4. Verify and actually call references.

5. Ask to see a real project that they completed and not just look at photos.

6. Ask how they handle problems and complaints.

7. Understand the warranty completely.

8. Get everything in writing, make sure what is in the contract is actually what is going into your pool.

9. Never be pressured into making a decision today.

10. Get the total price in writing before making a decision.

11. An ethical company will provide you a detailed, itemized bid.

The important thing to understand about a custom concrete swimming pool is to make sure that you do your research.

What to avoid when selecting a business in this industry:

1. A swimming pool contractor that does not show you their contractor’s license.  There are many companies that are building pools that are not qualified or use other people’s licenses.
2. A contractor that does not show you their insurance. If someone is injured on the job and is not insured the consumer may be liable.  Why take that chance?
3. Contractors that will not provide you a detailed estimate.
4. Contractors that apply pressure.
5. Contractors that will not let you call customers or visit their previous customers.  Most happy clients are proud to show off their new swimming pools.
6. Contractors that do not spend the time to educate you. 
7. You get what you pay for.  If you want a custom concrete swimming pool that you can be proud of years down the road, spend the money necessary to get it built and serviced correctly by the builder.
