How to choose a pool builder.

What to ask before you hire, from Rocky.

In-ground and above-ground pools and hot tubs. Use this checklist when you compare swimming pool builders, then ask Rocky if you want a second opinion.

  • Municipalities set fencing and permit rules for pools: check yours first.
  • Ask how the pool is winterised each fall.
  • Get at least two written quotes that list scope, materials, schedule and payment stages.
  • Contractors who take money before the work is finished need an Alberta prepaid contracting licence. Ask for the number before you pay a deposit.
  • Ask for a WCB Alberta clearance letter and proof of liability insurance.
  • Read recent reviews and ask for references from jobs like yours.
