Pool remodel proposal template

A pool remodel proposal says what changes and what stays. This fictional Sample Pool Company worksheet keeps visible cosmetic work apart from repairs that depend on an inspection. It has no regional cost estimate and makes no promise about the existing pool's condition.

How do you record the existing pool?

Note the current finish, visible damage, the equipment's condition and access limits, with photos and inspection dates. Keep what you saw apart from what you tested: stains or cracks in a photo don't tell you the repair method.

What do removal and preparation cover?

Say whether draining, removal, surface preparation, disposal, refill and startup are included, and which existing parts are protected or kept. Work out water disposal and local requirements with the responsible professionals.

How do you price hidden conditions?

Use a clearly described allowance, or an inspection and change process, for hidden defects. State what triggers a request for more authorization and how that work will be priced. An allowance never quietly becomes a fixed guarantee.

  • Price shell repairs apart from cosmetic finish work.
  • Note the compatibility checks for equipment you keep.
  • Explain how you handle extra work found after removal.

What happens at handover?

List startup, care instructions and any follow-up you include. Name the finish sample chosen and say its appearance can vary. Go over the finished scope, exclusions, schedule assumptions and commercial terms before the homeowner approves a proposal.
