How you know you've chosen the right pool contractor in the Dallas Metroplex

So, you’ve just hired a local pool contractor in the north Dallas area to help you with your swimming pool renovation or remodel.

 

 

You’ve reviewed the differences between the two projects ( renovation vs remodel ) and you reached out to a few local pool contractors in the area and moved forward with one that you think is the best fit.

 

 

But how do you really know you’ve made the right choice?

 

 

Swimming pool renovation & remodeling projects are generally very large projects — not something you want just anyone to help you with.

 

 

Not hiring the right contractor may leave you not only behind on your summer plans and swimming pool time, but could also end up costing you more money than you had originally budgeted.

 

 

It’s not always easy to recognize if you’ve chosen your pool contractor wisely, so to help you out here are a few tell-tale signs you’ve made the right choice.

 

 

1. You Fully Understand Your Project Scope of Work & Timeline

 

 

Swimming pool renovation and remodeling projects are large, resource intensive projects that involve a lot of customization and hand-picked details.

 

 

If your pool contractor is giving you a full rundown on project timeline and milestones, along with support and care with picking out materials and design elements you’re likely lined up with a quality contractor.

 

 

2. They Don’t Go Cheap (And Neither Did You)

 

 

“You get what you pay for” is something that can be applied to most industries, but maybe even more so for large swimming pool projects.

 

 

With a project that large, trying to squeeze pennies to save yourself a bit on budget might not be the best route to getting the best pool contractor.

 

 

Going with the lowest price means your contractor is likely going with the lowest costs for them as well — areas where you wouldn’t want to cut corners when it comes to pool projects.

 

 

3. Prompt, Friendly Communication From Day One

 

 

Large projects need a lot of communication between you, your pool contractor and other specialists in order to make sure your project goes smoothly.

 

 

Very often you can tell how good a contractor is by the quality of communication they offer from their first interaction.

 

 

If you run into any issues up-front, there’s a good chance you’ll run into issues further down the line during your project.

 

 

4. Your Project Starts On Time & Moves Along In A Timely Fashion

 

 

After you’ve confirmed the details of your project with your pool contractor, you’ll likely be given a start date.

 

 

If your pool contractor starts on time, is prompt and has everything ready on day one of your project, you’re likely in good hands.

 

 

5. They Have Genuine Care For Your Backyard Area

 

 

Perhaps something that often goes overlooked, but your pool isn’t the only important element of your backyard.

 

 

Large pool projects often involve a lot of large equipment and moving around in your backyard.

 

 

This means that other elements like your lawn, landscaping, fencing and other backyard items will likely come into play when your contractors are working.

 

 

Make sure your pool contractor takes extra care and attention to your backyard; if they don’t you may run into unwanted issues during your project.

 

 

As mentioned above, swimming pool renovation and remodeling projects are very large projects and are large investments for most pool owners.

 

 

Your pool isn’t just an ornament in your backyard – it’s a source of endless memories for you and your family.

 

 

Be sure your pool projects are handled with the care and attention they deserve.

 

 

And if your local pool contractor is following the items mentioned above, you’ll be well on your way to making new summertime memories for years to come in this beautiful part of Texas we call home.
