Amy,

In order to find good subs you are going to have to do some leg work. During the spring months it is not hard to find a pool construction going on somewhere. Talk to the workers, chances are better than not, they are independent or sub contractors working on the job. Very few pool companies actually build pools in house, Meaning that all or most of the work is not done by actual employees of the pool company. Typically pool companies sell swimming pools, pool chemicals, pool service contracts and make repairs. Very little if any of the actual work of a new construction pool is performed by the pool company that sells the pool.
