Know what to include, what affects the price, and what to check with your contractor before work begins. Use this guide to prepare your project details.

Trade know-how

Understand the job before it starts.

Pool and spa work should separate routine water care from equipment diagnosis, leak investigation, structural work, and safety requirements. Use these five phases to describe the work clearly. The professional still verifies field conditions, requirements, and the final scope.

How this work starts

Details first; a visit when needed

  1. Name the result

    • Name the pool or spa type.
    • Also clarify whether you need cleaning, water care, equipment service, leak diagnosis, repair, renovation, or new construction.
  2. Document what is visible

    • Record recent water readings, visible water loss, equipment labels, controller messages.
    • Also record surface condition, safety barriers, and safe photos of the pool and equipment pad.
  3. Use the honest review path

    • Routine care can start with details.
    • Equipment failure, leaks, electrical or gas work, structural movement, renovation, or new construction need field testing and permit review.
  4. Approve the written scope

    • Confirm service tasks, chemicals or parts, equipment models, repair boundaries, water startup.
    • Also confirm barrier and safety work, permit responsibility, testing, and exclusions.
  5. Keep one project record

    • Continue in Completa with readings, equipment and safety details, findings.
    • Also keep approvals, service proof, permit records when applicable, and changes.

How your project works

From your idea to an agreed plan.

Describe the work, review an estimate, and choose a local pro where matching is available. Your contractor checks the project before you both agree to the work and price.

  3. 03 · Choose a pro

    Find the right fit for your project.

    Where matching is available, compare local pros and choose whom to hire.

  4. 04 · Agree and begin

    Keep the agreed plan in one place.

    You and your contractor approve the work, price, and terms before the job begins.

When an on-site review is needed

Some details need a visit.

A professional checks conditions that photos or measurements cannot safely confirm. The review helps define the work; it does not guarantee acceptance or a particular price. Unknown work must be reviewed before it is priced.

No submitted estimate becomes accepted work until a professional reviews the project and both sides agree to the scope, price, and terms.
