What to ask before you hire
About Socal Pools
- The state lists a case on this license. A case is not a finding. Read it on the state's license page and ask the contractor about it.
- Ask who will do the work. Anyone they pay to work on your home must be covered by workers' comp.
- Ask what the warranty covers and for how long, in writing.
Worth asking any pool builder
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance and your bond?
- What is in the price, and what is extra: decking, fencing, electrical, plaster finish?
- What happens if you hit rock or groundwater when you dig?
- Who pulls the permits, and what is the payment schedule?
