Unless one is versatile in a variety of construction trades, have plenty of rime available, and can access the specialized equipment needed for building the pool project, one need to hire people with professional expertise and skills. As with other home improvements, there are several ways to go about this, and all involve signing on the dotted line at some point— that is, agreeing to purchase products and/or services for a specified sum subject to specified conditions. For modest-budget pool projects, homeowner will probably work with a dealer/installer. Homeowner visit a showroom and consult with a salesperson that helps homeowner pick out a pool and pool accessories to best fit the wish list, budget, and site. Either the dealer’s crew or an independent pool contractor hired by homeowner or the dealer then installs the pool. Remember that even though dealer Fresno pool restoration professionals are knowledgeable about pool shapes and finishes, with portfolios of completed projects for homeowner to thumb through for ideas, their design expertise may be fairly limited. Also, be wary of dealerships that are simply sales operations that leave homeowner to handle the with good customer service. Working with a designer/builder For complex or customized projects, the dealer/installer is only one option to consider. If homeowner is intent upon giving the pool area a particular look or embellishing it with state-of-the-art features, homeowner may want to consult a designer/builder or pool designer. Like architects or architectural designers, this professional offers design talent, new-product savvy and technical know-how. Some also provide capable job supervision, serving as the project manager or general contractor. Elaborate, highly customized projects or those with special challenges may also require the services of other consultants—landscape architects, soils engineers, structural engineers, lighting designers, and spa dealer/builders. All but the simplest pool projects involve hiring and supervising skilled and unskilled labor and using specialized tools and equipment. Here, a general contractor comes into play. The dealer/installer or designer/builder often performs this role. Or he or she may hire a general contractor for homeowner (part of the service as project manager). If neither is the case, homeowner will need to find a contractor or do the job oneself. Pool contractors must be licensed by the state in which they work. Rounding up the right team To locate designers, builders, and dealers in the area, check the Yellow Pages of the phone book under "Swimming Pool Contractors, Dealers & Designers,” “Swimming Pool Mfrs. & Distr.,” or "Spas & Hot Tubs—Dealers." Other sources include websites of pool-industry organizations and recommendations from those in related fields, such as landscape design and residential architecture.
