Roles of Pool Contractors

Pool contractors act as the main point of contact for your project. They are responsible for:

Overall project management

Scheduling and coordinating all work

Ensuring compliance with permits and local regulations

Ordering and managing materials

Quality control and final inspections

Roles of Subcontractors

Subcontractors are hired by the main contractor to perform specialized tasks, such as:

• Excavation and site preparation
• Plumbing and filtration system installation
• Electrical wiring and lighting
• Tiling, plastering, or decking
• Landscaping around the pool area

Why the Distinction Matters

• Knowing who handles each task helps:
• Clarify accountability
• Avoid misunderstandings about responsibilities
• Ensure smooth communication during construction
• Identify the right person to address concerns

When you understand the difference between a pool contractor’s role and a subcontractor’s, you can better track progress, manage expectations, and ensure a successful pool build.
