Pool areas make stellar hangout spots. However, no one wants to hang out by the pool if it’s not maintained properly or looks dirty. Use the following tips to help you find the right swimming pool contractor in Orange, CA who can get your pool looking its best.

Consider their experience

How long has the company been in business? You’ll want to go for firms with long-term experience in the field. Companies like Alan Smith Pools make for a sound option. With a business that’s been around since 1981 and a combined experience of 100 years, this one should go at the top of your list.

Check out their services

Not all pool contractors might provide the services you need. Look through the company’s site to make sure they offer swimming pool re-plastering assistance or concrete pool resurfacing services. If they don’t, look elsewhere.

Cover the basics

Don’t hire anyone without a license. Look for certificates of insurance, too, according to the BBB. This is a good piece of advice to remember, so you won’t get scammed by dodgy or sketchy contractors along the way.

Meet up with the crew

If your pool needs extensive work, a poor repair firm nearby might send you an entire crew. Meet up with them before you sign anything and before they start on the job. By meeting them in advance, you’ll get a sense of whether they’re going to be a good fit for the project or not. Swing by another job site to see them in action. If you spot any signs of unprofessionalism, then it’s better that you know now before you start paying them on the job. That way, you still have time to go online, look for contractors ‘near me or around me,’ explore your options and interview other companies and crews until you hire someone who’s a better fit for the job.
