Do you need to have a contractor liscense to build swimming pools?
Question:
Answers:
No, but, you need to check with the local codes department to be for sure. It possible that you may need a licensed electrician for the electrical work and a plumber for any gas line work, if you install a heater.
I installed a pool a few years ago and did not need a contractors license or a licensed electrician. All the city wanted to see is that everything was done to code. They didn't care who did the work. Again check with your local codes department.
Like starting a business doing this? Yes. more required in some states.
If your just building your own you might need to inquire for a building permit and get your utility, water, gas, electric, cable companies to mark any and all buried lines for inground pools. Either way i would suggest this since they do it for free and better safe than sorry. You might enquire with your State laws for more information also ask county goverments for legal requirments. Good luck
Yes, you need a contractor's license to build swimming pools. Also, depending what state you live in, your electrical, plumbing, and excavating subcontractors will also need to have a license and insurance. If they don't, you will be directly liable for their work.
