Packets you can use today

What we ask — the same questions local pool companies use to quote

1. 01New pool or remodel?
2. 02Gunite, fiberglass, or vinyl — and about what size?
3. 03Depth: typical 3–6, or a deeper end?
4. 04Shape, spa, interior finish, waterline tile?
5. 05Equipment: variable-speed pump, salt, heater, lights, automation, cover?
6. 06Deck type and roughly how many square feet?
7. 07Screen enclosure now, later, or none?
8. 08Waterfall or sheer descent?
9. 09Can equipment get to the backyard? Side-yard width?
10. 10HOA? Survey on file?
11. 11Photos of the yard. Street stays hidden until you authorize contact.

Not sure what to ask for? Do the picture look session first. Copy you can send: “Put the backyard on PoolBid. One form. Comparable bids from vetted South Florida pool companies. Then you award.”
