Hi all, like the title says 
We are in the process of getting estimates for a new pool and have decided on Vinyl liner. One of the installers we interviewed does both steel walls and concrete walls and we are leaning towards the concrete walls. My question is long term, is replacing a liner in a concrete-walled pool a unique or difficult process compared to steel walled? I understand there may be an upcharge because they have to add the padding underneath but by my research, they do not seem as common as steel walled. My fear is that I will be at the mercy of the company who is doing the install to do any liner repair or replacement down the road. They've been in business forever but even Toys R Us closed up shop. If it is pretty straight forward and any reputable pool reno company can do it then that will ease my mind to know in 10 years or so I'll have options. - thanks in advance for any insight!
