Why saving money choosing “pool guy” over a licensed Davie Pool Company can cost you a fortune
If you are in need of pool service or pool
maintenance in Davie, you can save yourself exposure to liability, costly
repairs and mind blowing medical costs if you take the time to select a licensed
Florida contractor as your pool service. While you may consider taking care of
your pool as a low tech, low skill service, you can avoid serious problems if
you take a closer look.
Pools of course are very common in Davie and the rest of Broward
County. They have to be serviced to ensure they are clean and safe for your
family and friends, and to ensure the equipment isn't damaged from lack of
maintenance. Unfortunately there are contractors that are not responsible
business people who think a pickup truck, a vacuum and a skimmer are the only
tools needed to do the job.
Sometimes you might find one of these "pool guys" that
works out for you. Maybe he worked for a qualified pool company before and is
now trying to start out on his own. He may be reliable and he may do a great
job but...when he trips and cracks his skull on your deck you are responsible
for his medical and other expenses.
Why Davie Homeowners Need
Licensed Pool Maintenance and Cleaning Services
When you invite a contractor on your property, be it a housekeeper,
lawn care crew, child care or pool cleaning service you want to make sure they
are a responsible business. The best way to ensure that is to insist on only
using licensed firms like Pipeline Pools.
There are many advantages to using licensed contractors and they all
start with insurance. If you are a licensed contractor in Broward County lile
Pipeline Pools, you have to carry liability coverage including workman's
compensation.
That worker's compensation is your first line of defense against
paying for any injuries a contractor may suffer on your property.
Ducking medical expenses is important, but you have to also consider
that not all businesses can get insurance. Insurance companies have
underwriting standards and if a company has a history of bad credit or no
history in the business or any other negative information, they may not be able
to be licensed.
Then there's the work. If your pool needs repair and you need a new
pump or other piece of equipment, often times the warranties on that equipment
require that it be installed by a trained professional for the warranty to be
valid. If you have equipment failure and your "pool guy's"
professional experience is that he put in a similar pump at a neighbor's last
year, the warranty will probably not be honored.
Pool cleaning keeps your pool safe and your water clear. Pool maintenance gets the
most life out of all your pool equipment. Pool repair and pool renovation
require exceptionally experienced (and licensed) technicians to bring your
investment back to prime condition.
