What should I do today if my new pool is in trouble?
Call (928) 396-1068 and describe the pool's condition, including any green water, leaks or equipment problems. Ask for a local pro who can inspect equipment, water chemistry and any unsafe issues before you commit to ongoing service.
What should I check when hiring a pool pro?
Look up the contractor on the Arizona Registrar of Contractors search, which shows license number, business name, city and license type. Confirm the license class covers pool service and repair before you agree to work.
When does an Arizona pool job require a license?
Arizona generally requires a contractor license when labor and materials exceed $1,000, or when a permit is required regardless of price. Pool service and repair classifications cover equipment, piping, fittings, backflow devices and waste lines.
Who can I call with licensing questions?
The Arizona Registrar of Contractors lists (602) 542-1525 and toll-free 1-877-692-9762 for licensing and contractor questions. Use these numbers to verify a pro's status before signing anything.
