Why Should I Hire a Licensed Pool Company?
Certified and licensed pool service contractors in Oregon area are a smart choice. Choosing a pool servicing company to take care of and maintain your pool seems like it would be an easy decision. There are advertisements and flyers for all different pool companies, plus numerous magazine articles about the importance of choosing a professional company to maintain your pool, which is most definitely true. Yet the advertising can be very misleading and a company claiming to be the best for weekly service and repairs may not actually be licensed to do so. Many companies only hold a CPO/CPT certificate, but not a contractors’ license – which is required to fix or repair pools in Oregon – leaving homeowners at risk for hiring unlicensed workers to take care of and service their pools. Here is what you need to know before choosing a pool service company:
Certificate vs License:
CPO Certificate: Currently, if a company holds a business registration, Oregon law allows that company to clean and chemically treat a residential pool. A state contractor’s license is not required. This also means that a company holding the certificate cannot legally fix or replace plumbing and equipment, nor repair, remodel or install systems. All they are allowed to do is clean and adjust chemicals. This also means that homeowners who hire unlicensed pool companies that do anything outside of cleaning and chemicals become responsible for workers comp, liability insurance and any fines for completing unlicensed work and fixing or replacing damaged equipment. Manufacturer’s also void any warranties on equipment installed by an unlicensed contractor or authorized dealer.
CCB License: In order to build, renovate, service or repair pools/spas in Oregon you must have a license issued by the Oregon Construction Contractor’s Board (CCB). A licensed pool company is the only individual or company that is legally allowed to not only clean and chemically treat pools, but also repair/replace equipment, remodel, build and repair both residential and commercial pools. The company/individual will also be verified on the on the Oregon CCB website.
