Is $325 to open a pool for the spring season a fair price?

Project Details

We bought the house with a pool last year and we hired him to completely redo the pool last spring and we also paid him to close it last fall, so he is well aware that we know next to nothing about owning a pool. The owner is a super cool nice guy, and I think I am a pretty easy going customer.

Quote Details
