Follow these tips to ensure you’re hiring swimming pool contractors that you can trust:
Check their reviews and customer satisfaction rate

Find out where they are based
Building a pool takes a lot of resources, machinery and equipment. Choosing a local pool builder means you’re less likely to endure long wait times for resources and workers to arrive. Locally based pool builders also are more likely to have completed several builds in your area, so they’ll understand the land conditions and how to work best in your environment.
Look for a pool builder who has been in the business for a significant amount of time
A company that has been around for many years is more likely to have a proven track record of delivering quality work and excellent customer service. You can check their website or ask the pool builder directly about their experience and how long they have been in business. A pool builder who has been around for a while will also have a portfolio of completed projects that you can review to get a sense of their expertise and style.
Check if the pool builder is a member of SPASA
The Swimming Pool and Spa Association (SPASA) is an industry association that represents swimming pool and spa builders, manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers. Being a member of SPASA means that the pool builder has agreed to abide by a strict code of ethics and has demonstrated a commitment to providing high-quality workmanship and excellent customer service. You can visit the SPASA website to verify if the pool builder is a member. Choosing a pool builder who is a member of SPASA can give you peace of mind that you're working with a reputable and trustworthy professional.

Make sure they do a site visit prior to quoting or installing your new pool
Ensure that the pool builder visits the site before installation to assess the space and discuss any potential challenges. A reputable pool builder will schedule a site visit to evaluate the terrain, soil conditions, accessibility, and other factors that may affect the installation process. During the site visit, you should discuss your design preferences, budget, and any other specific requirements you may have. The pool builder should provide you with a clear and detailed plan, including a timeline, cost estimate, and a breakdown of the materials and equipment they will use. This site visit will help you understand what to expect during the installation process and ensure that there are no surprises or unexpected expenses along the way.
Finally, you should be comfortable with the builder you select, and be able to build some kind of rapport with them. You will be working closely with them throughout the project and, as such, it is important you feel good about them, and can trust them.
