Mesa, AZ: what's different here
Mesa sits in Maricopa County, Arizona, just east of Tempe - about 6 miles or a 9-minute drive by main highway. Like much of the Phoenix area, Mesa's pools get heavy year-round use, which puts wear on pumps and motors. The City of Mesa directs residents to the Arizona Registrar of Contractors guidelines when deciding whether a repair needs a licensed contractor.
Does pool motor repair in Mesa require a licensed contractor?
Arizona requires a contractor license if labor and materials exceed $1,000, or if a permit is required regardless of price. The City of Mesa points residents to the Arizona Registrar of Contractors guidelines to decide whether a project needs a licensed contractor. Ask the pro for proof of license and insurance.
Which Arizona license covers pool motor repair?
Arizona's CR-6 Swimming Pool Service and Repair classification covers the scopes of both the commercial C-6 and residential R-6 swimming pool service and repair licenses.
