Good pool work is invisible when it’s done right and ruinously expensive when it isn’t. Vetting the person matters as much as the price.
Ask to see real, recent work
Photos are easy to fake; a verified review tied to an actual job is not. Ask where their last three jobs were.
Confirm the paperwork
Registration, insurance and tax standing are non-negotiable. On buildr these are checked before a builder is listed.
Quick checklist
See verified reviews, not just a gallery
Confirm registration and insurance
Get the scope in writing in your language
Never pay the full amount up front
