What should I do about a green rental pool this week?
Tell the pro the pool is green and that you just moved in, so they plan a cleanup before routine service. Ask whether the quote is a one-time green cleanup ($250–$600) or a recurring weekly plan. Have the pool owner or property manager approve the work in writing first.
What should a weekly service quote include?
Weekly Tempe service is often quoted around $86 per month for cleaning, and commercial or rental-style pricing can vary with pool size, chemicals, and service needs. Ask for a line-item quote that lists brushing, chemicals, and equipment checks. Confirm whether the plan is month-to-month or has a contract term.
How do I check a pool pro's license before hiring?
Arizona's R-6 class covers service and minor repair of residential pools, while a separate swimming pool contractor class covers construction, service, and repair of pools and spas. Look up the pro's license on the Arizona Registrar of Contractors contractor search. Ask for proof of insurance as well.
When does a pool job need a full contractor license?
The Arizona Registrar of Contractors generally requires a license if labor and materials exceed $1,000 or a permit is required, regardless of price. R-6 does not cover plumbing connections to potable water, gas lines, gas chlorine systems, or electrical work beyond the first disconnect. Get a licensed contractor for those tasks.
What to do next
- Ask the pro for a written quote showing the green cleanup price ($250–$600) and the weekly plan price.
- Look up the pro's license on the Arizona Registrar of Contractors contractor search and confirm the R-6 or swimming pool contractor class.
- Ask for proof of insurance before the first visit.
- Confirm in writing who pays for chemicals and equipment repairs, whether the landlord or the tenant.
- Call (928) 396-1068 or email [email protected] for a free quote from a licensed, insured pool service professional.
