It may be the cold of winter now, but in no time, summer weather will be upon you. And, wouldn’t it be nice to start the season off right with a swimming pool installation in Pearland? It’s not too early to begin considering the options available to homeowners and picking out a contractor to do the work. The problem many people find is that they don’t know what to look for in contractors. There are many questions to ask of these contractors before signing on with them for the big job.
Ask For References
Most people know to ask a pool contractor for references, but many never bother, figuring he wouldn’t give out the names if he weren’t confident of the answer. However ask for them anyway and then CALL them! Ask the former clients how pleased they were with the service, the price, the workmanship, and the follow-up. All these areas are important in the overall scheme. Before asking the contractor for their references, ask how many pools they installed in the last year. Then, ask for recent references from the past year. If he installed 100 pools in the last year but can only provide ten references, something may be amiss.
Price
Not always the total deciding factor, but still very important is the price. When you started in on this project, surely you had a budget in mind. Don’t let a quote slightly above (or below) your price throw you off. Be concerned about quotes drastically higher or lower than the budget. Ask about payment options if you don’t plan on paying it in full at the time of install. Check out their interest rate and compare it to what you might get from your bank or credit union. Why pay more than you have to.
Search Online Reviews
In addition to asking for references, search online reviews as well. Most people will not call the Better Business Bureau on a company when dissatisfied, but they will write a scathing review. Don’t let one or two bad reviews scare you off from business, although it’s certainly good to ask the business about what went wrong on it. Instead go with a business that steadily has mostly good reviews.
