A pool item on an inspection report can hold up a deal. Spear gives buyers, sellers and agents a written estimate from a pools-only contractor.
Send the report page or a short description of the pool items. We inspect the pool, put the scope and the price in writing so every side of the deal can see it, and schedule most repairs the same week.
Spear has worked only on pools since 1972. Owner Ran Neuman brings 18 years of hands-on pool repair and construction experience.

Pre-Listing Repairs
Sellers who fix pool items before listing avoid surprises later. A worn finish is the most visible item, and our guide to plastering costs by pool size helps set expectations.
Written estimates list the scope and the price, so a credit or a repair can be negotiated from the same document.
