Many homeowners paid big bucks for pools and ended up with shoddy work or never got them installed at all. House Bill 424 aims to give consumers peace of mind when they hire someone to install or service a pool.
There are ways to protect yourself if you decide to take the plunge and put in a pool.
Davidson was in Boston recently pushing for the passage of House Bill 424, consumer protection legislation that would require pool installers to be licensed under the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards."If you're going to go out and build a pool, if you're going to maintain a pool, perform service, repair, you should be properly licensed, just like you would as a plumber or electrician," said Davidson.
The pool licensure bill is currently in the House Ways and Means committee. House Chair of the Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee Tackey Chan talked to us about it last fall.
