Pool World Inc.

The state's workers'-comp classes give a clear picture of the work behind a pool: excavation, concrete flatwork, plaster and stucco, sewer pipe cleaning, and building repair and remodeling, alongside hot tub installation. Pool World has also taken on public work since 2002, usually as prime contractor, for the cities of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Airway Heights and Colville, the Community Colleges of Spokane, Spokane County, Whitman County Public Works, the Spokane Housing Authority, and the Harrington and Moses Lake school districts. The state lists Lyla and Kerry Henderson as principals since 1976 and Mark Henderson since 1980. The company advertises manufacturer-backed warranties on what it sells. Pool World fits a homeowner planning a new in-ground pool or a custom hot tub setup, and it also covers the ongoing side, from repairs to filter cleaning on an existing pool or spa. Its crews dig, pour and finish, so the site work around a pool stays in one set of hands. It is a pool and spa business at heart. Framing, roofing or a full electrical or plumbing rough-in on a new house sits outside that, and those jobs belong with a builder or a licensed trade contractor. Pool and spa work splits sharply by size. A cloudy spa, a worn filter or a leaking pump fitting is a service call, and any shop that knows the equipment can handle it. A new in-ground pool is a construction project: excavation, forming, concrete, plaster, drainage, and electrical and plumbing hookups, usually with a city or county permit behind it. For that, hire a firm that does the digging and finishing itself and has built pools in local soils, and plan the dig for the dry months so the shell can cure before Spokane's freeze.
