What you should know before you hire a pool contractor! Atlas Pools, Inc. encourages our customers to make a fully informed decision in choosing the pool contractor best suited to construct and warranty their backyard project. We recommend that all of our potential clients have the answers to the following simple but critical questions before signing a contract with any swimming pool builder:
Does the Contractor have the proper license to build a swimming pool and is that license in good standing the Contractor’s State License Board? One of the first steps in investigating a contractor is to check out the pool company's license. Are they still licensed? Do they have a C-53? Is their license “clean”? Atlas Pools, Inc. has a valid C-53 license, is a corporation, fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and we are proud of the fact that we have never had a mark against our license.
