When does pool plaster in Tempe need repair?
Plaster needs repair when it shows cracking, delamination, rough spots, or wear that minor service and patching can no longer fix. Extensive damage calls for a properly licensed plaster contractor rather than only a pool service-and-repair license.
What license covers pool plaster repair in Tempe?
Arizona requires a contractor license when labor and materials exceed $1,000, or when a permit is required regardless of price. The state's R-6 swimming pool service and repair classification allows service and minor repairs, but it does not allow complete replacement of plaster or pebble pool interiors and decks.
Which Arizona ROC classifications relate to pool plaster work?
The CR-6 Swimming Pool Service and Repair classification covers both the commercial C-6 and residential R-6 scopes. The KA-5 Dual Swimming Pool Contractor classification covers both the commercial A-9 Swimming Pools and residential B-5 General Swimming Pool licenses. The A-9 classification covers pool construction, service, and repair, including water and gas service lines, wiring, pool piping, and backflow prevention devices.
How can I verify a Tempe plaster contractor's license?
Use the Arizona ROC contractor search and check for the proper pool plastering classification, since the pool service-and-repair classification explicitly excludes complete plaster replacement. Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts.
