If you think some contractors are bad, check out the funeral industry for having monopolies on a market.

Giving the contractor 10K in profit for the job


You mean the soon to be former contractor. He'll go out of business charging 20% on a job that size.

I really think the law has artificially inflated costs. Pool contractors now have a monopoly and only have to bid against each other with nothing to keep the industry accountable.


Who else would they bid against? All licensed trades such as plumbers and electricians are competing for bids among themselves. Any trade where there are multiple contractors can hardly be considered a monopoly.

Don't call it a swimming pool, call it a Religious Healing Grotto. Freedom of Religion , the parish can't touch it.

Same way in Alabama. You have to have a specialty pool license. How do you get a specialty pool license you may ask? Build 3 pools.

Pools are crazy expensive in Texas right now, your $50k may not be enough
