As one of the busiest and most established fiberglass pool installers in northeastern Massachusetts, I like to share my thoughts on pools and the many ways they enhance our lives. I enjoy walking homeowners through the options in front of them regarding pool sizes, colors, and accessories. It\u2019s fun watching their eyes light up as they look through images of completed projects and imagine themselves enjoying long summer days in the water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lately, though, I\u2019ve had to share more advice than usual about the need to be careful when hiring a contractor to install your fiberglass pool. I don\u2019t like thinking about the situations that go wrong or giving warnings about the various shady sales tactics that are out there. At the same time, I hear horror stories from homeowners every month and don\u2019t want to see anyone fall for that dishonest pitch.<\/span><\/p>\n

With that in mind, I would like to use today\u2019s post on a topic that isn\u2019t about any specific product or idea. Instead, I want to give you some advice on finding a fiberglass pool installer you can trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

For context, please know that I\u2019m sharing these thoughts after 20+ years leading my own landscaping and patio installation team. My company, Stefano\u2019s Landscaping, has hundreds of positive reviews and repeat customers. We have done the hard work of building a lasting reputation one job at a time, so I hope you will trust my advice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the first thing you need to know\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Check Everything Before Trusting a Fiberglass Pool Installer<\/b><\/h3>\n

I just wrote that you can trust me, right? You can. The problem, however, is that the shady marketers out there say the same thing. In fact, they like to copy ideas from more honest marketers to present themselves in the same way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing that, how can you tell which companies are telling the truth? My advice would be to double-check everything. Don\u2019t take it as a given that your contractor back up what they say, or that they have a track record of doing things the right way. Look for proof wherever you can find it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The right landscaping company will <\/span>want<\/span><\/i> you to know about their previous work. They won\u2019t have anything to hide. So, take a couple of hours to look into the details before you sign onto a work agreement. Do it even if you\u2019re working with my company. It won\u2019t take long to figure out whether you\u2019ve found a business that does things the right way or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you check up on a fiberglass pool installation company? I\u2019ve got a few more suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Talk to a Recent Customer<\/b><\/h3>\n

The best way to check up on a contractor is to speak with someone who has done business with them recently. Frankly, I\u2019m amazed there are homeowners who don\u2019t take this simple step. Why wouldn\u2019t you want to ask another customer how accurate the quote was, for example, or how satisfied they were with the patio that was installed?<\/span><\/p>\n

Finding a neighbor to ask shouldn\u2019t be difficult. You can start by asking your fiberglass pool installer for a handful of names and phone numbers. Remember, a company with a good reputation will gladly show off the work they\u2019ve done in the past. They may even see if someone nearby would allow you to take a look at the property with your own eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

This gives you a chance to see the contractor\u2019s work up close. It also means you can ask questions like: \u201cwould you recommend this company to a friend?\u201d The answers you get from these interactions will tell you far more than you could ever learn from a website or marketing brochure.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scrutinize Online Reviews and Testimonials<\/b><\/h3>\n

Assuming you get good feedback from former landscaping customers, your next step could be to review online reviews and testimonials. It should only take a few minutes, but you\u2019ll want to look at feedback for the fiberglass pool installation company itself, along with suppliers they work with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent reviews should carry the most weight, but you also want to ensure they\u2019ve been doing quality work that has stood up over a period of time. See if there are any recurring themes, positive or negative, within customers\u2019 comments. Also check that there aren\u2019t any long gaps between reviews, and that they mention specifics that could be verified.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, you probably don\u2019t want material you read on the internet to be your only basis for making a decision on a contractor, but what you see can go a long way towards reinforcing what you\u2019ve already heard.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ask Questions and Get Detailed Agreements<\/b><\/h3>\n

As I have noted in recent articles, there are lots of fiberglass pool installers out there offering low upfront prices and then charging massive amounts for \u201cextras\u201d and \u201cadd-ons\u201d later. The best way to avoid this trap is by asking tons of questions upfront and looking over your agreements very carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll want to ensure that details like leveling, excavation, and crane rental are covered in your quote. Other patio upgrades like a deck or storage shed should also be included if they are going to be part of your project. If there is going to be any variability to the cost then the amounts, reasons, and deciding factors should be spelled out in a clear and specific way.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, you should have a very good idea about what\u2019s going to happen, what it\u2019s going to cost you, and what (if anything) could affect the numbers or schedules involved. Don\u2019t let a salesperson leave you with any confusion on these matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
