Hello!
I have just joined TFP but have been reading TFP forum for years and am so grateful for it. It helped us learn to balance pool chemistry, to deal with algae, and to get rid of high ammonia, to name just a few things.
I was hoping to get your opinions on the following:
We are looking into replacing our 13 years old vinyl liner ( 18х36 rectangular pool, 3 ft shallow end, 8 ft deep end) and my husband already almost committed to the company which replaced the liner in our community pool and has been servicing our community pool forever. While the company owner made a great impression, I am a bit concerned by the following:
The company’s primary business seems to be servicing swimming pools. While they do some liner replacements it does not seem to be a big share of their work; they DO NOT install swimming pools either, and I somehow would be more comfortable contracting a company whose primary work is pool installations and pool renovations like liner replacements. They do not have too many internet reviews either.
My husband seems to have his mind set on this company as he had a good rapport with the owner; but I am still considering obtaining at least one more quote to at least make sure we are getting a fair deal. We did not receive any estimate yet but we’re quoted approximately 4800$ (not sure it includes refill) which is a rather pricey renovation for our budget.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. Thanks a lot!
