Ask for their contractor's license number and pool-specific licensing, proof of insurance, a detailed project timeline, what's included in the warranty (equipment vs. structure), how they handle subcontractors, and who is your point of contact throughout the build.
All listings are sourced from Google Business Profiles and ranked by real Google ratings and review volume. Confirm pool contractor licensing with your state board and verify insurance independently before signing any contract.
