By Bart Gibson


It is crucial that you pick the pool repair and maintenance contractor that is best for the job if you want the project to go smoothly. Find one that will give you peace of mind by easing the burden. Are you unaware of where to look? We have put some suggestions together to make it easier for you.

You will always want to hire a pool repair and maintenance contractor that is qualified for the project at hand. If the contractor does not have the proper resume and references, you could end up with plenty of problems down the road, including legal issues. Only hire a contractor that can perform quality work for your project.

Some pool repair and maintenance contractors will work on multiple works at the same time. Verify they have sufficient time in their schedule to take on your project. If they already have too many jobs scheduled, you should be reluctant to hire them as they may not be able to fit your work into their schedule.

If you're stuck searching for a pool repair and maintenance contractor, try contacting a local realtor. Realtors work with contractors all the time to improve houses that their selling, and they're good business for each other. They can also refer you to specialized contractors like plumbers and electricians.

If you are going to set up a payment plan with your pool repair and maintenance contractor you should expect to put about 10% down when you sign the guarantee. If the contractor asks for more than 10% you may like to question the financial status of the contractor. Pool Contractors that ask for more than the typical amount could be in a financial bind.

Always get an idea of a potential pool repair and maintenance contractor's priorities. This will help you prepare a schedule that you both agree on. They should have priorities that make you feel comfortable about hiring them.

Never hire the first pool repair and maintenance contractor that gives you a quote! There are usually plenty of contractors in your area, and you need to compare their bids against each other to get the right price. You should have researched and interviewed at least 3 or 4 contractors before you've made your decision.

Ask your pool repair and maintenance contractor to be punctual at the site and verify that you sign a written contract about every minute detail of the contract. Ask the contractor to provide the best work at low-cost price and check the site on a regular basis.

Working on a small project may give a pool repair and maintenance contractor the feeling like he can take advantage of his employer. This of course will never happen if you as the employer take the precautions necessary to protect yourself from any problems that might arise from such a contract. Always make sure to write a strict and clear contract.

If you and the pool repair and maintenance contractor decide upon a change after the project has begun, make certain to complete a "change order". This can be an addendum to the original agreement and details the changes. You might also revise the scheduled end date if delays occur because of the change.
