Is $8,650 to install a new pool safety cover a fair price?
Project Details
Our condo building needs a new cover for the pool. The local pool maintenance company that we use quoted us for a new cover and labor. The board trusts him and wants to OK the purchase, but I asked him if he got other quotes and he said that two quotes were similar and he chose Latham, which made our original cover. He sent them the old cover, but they said it was unrepairable and tossed it. I was pissed about this, because I know there are companies that will duplicate the old cover to fit the existing anchors and his $1150 charge is for drilling and installing new anchors. I also do not know how much he marks up the cover. I feel that I have a responsibility to the other owners to get the best cover at the best price and not allow the pool deck to be marred by unnecessary anchors. I am asking if $7500 seems reasonable for that size cover and if I could get a cover made to use the existing anchors from measurements.
