Wells Pools 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”? Wells Pools has had a valid C-53 license since 2001, first as a partnership, then as a corporation and are proud of the fact that we have never had a mark against our license. You can verify our license at: www.cslb.ca.gov/consumers

Is the Contractor in “Good Standing” with Suppliers and Subcontractors?

Wells Pools will provide upon request, current letters of good standing from our major suppliers and subcontractors.

Will the Contractor provide Releases of Lien?

Wells Pools will provide releases of lien after each progress payment is received during construction. We will also provide lien releases from our subcontractors if requested.
