Swimming pools are great for recreation, exercise, and having fun while cooling off on hot summer days. According to the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, the U.S. has about 10.7 million swimming pools in total. The nation’s pools have countless shapes and sizes and could be inground or above ground. If you're considering installation or need maintenance services, here are four qualities to look for in a dependable local pool company.

1. Provides Experience With Local Pools

You don’t want your pool to be the first that a local pool company has installed or serviced. You should try to find a pool service that has been in business for several years in the area where you live. A pool company that does unacceptable work or charges too much isn’t likely to last long. One with experience and plenty of happy customers is more likely to give you the most satisfying pool service.

2. Offers a Reputation for Excellence

A pool service that installs and maintains your pool has regular access to your property. That service needs to have a good local reputation for being honest and professional while installing and servicing pools. If you have friends, neighbors, or family who have pools that you like, you might ask for recommendations for a pool service with a solid reputation for making its customers happy.

3. Performs Quality Services

A quality pool service should have examples of the quality work it's done, especially when it comes to installation. Photos and videos of custom pools and standard options can help you learn if the local pool company is one that you would want to install or maintain your pool. If you're looking for repairs, the company should have examples of similar repairs it has done so you get a good idea of what to expect if you choose to hire that business.

4. Offers a Satisfaction Guarantee

A satisfaction guarantee is something that any good pool company should offer to clients. The guarantee should apply to the quality of work and address any reasonable concerns that you might raise. A pool service should stand by its service and have the confidence to guarantee the work it does so the customer remains satisfied; this way, customers are more likely to continue using the service for long-term maintenance and repair services.
