Service questions
Must the pool be empty?
Yes. Standing water changes the work and should be resolved before dismantling.
Are the deck and sand base included?
Not unless the estimate says so. Treat the pool, deck, base, and restoration as separate line items.
Can pool and hot tub removal happen together?
They can be quoted together when access, staging space, and total material volume are clear.
