Who does not love to take a dip in a refreshing pool in the middle of a hot summer afternoon? You can drive down to the community facility, but nothing beats the luxury of diving into your own backyard swimming pool. The thought of all the family birthday parties and 4th of July barbecues you could enjoy by your own poolside is enough to have you sign on the dotted line with a contractor you know nothing about.
Here’s a warning! Before you make that decision, do your homework. Choose swimming pool contractors wisely to avoid buyer’s remorse or suffering through complications later.

How to Find the Perfect Pool Contracting Company
No one wants to deal with vendors who refuse to make warranty-covered repairs, fail to complete a project on time or destroy your yard. Consider these suggestions when hiring a company to install your private recreational space:
- Research, Review, Recognize: Ask for reviews from family and friends. Look up the Better Business Bureau. Check out the company’s track record and references. Have at least a minimum of three service providers look at your location in person and provide estimates. Compare the estimates and weigh out similar scopes of work required, such as the size of the area, labor needed, and an itemized list of materials. Avoid shopping for the cheapest price. Often, you get what you pay for.
- Keep a Copy of the Contract: Remember, if it is not in writing, it did not happen! Make sure you have a copy of the work order that lists all the tasks to be done. This includes details like dates, a cost breakdown, scope of work, and, most importantly, warranty or guarantee policies. Find out who will perform the task – the company’s own crew or outsourced providers.
- Ask Questions: Installing a water feature and a lifestyle recreational space is an important investment in your property. You should ask as many questions as you need to understand how the building process works.
- Make Sure the Company is Insured: While the City of Houston does not require building contractors to be licensed, they should be adequately insured to ensure your and your property’s protection.
- Determine If You Need a Permit: The City of Houston requires a building permit before construction begins. If a company you are considering suggests that you do not need a building permit, you may want to reconsider hiring them.
We are ready to give you the best pool around.
