40 year old pool needs new liner

[Mwoe's pool]

Ok. I just like to be prepared with what the deal is. Now, the guy who we originally called has previously worked on this pool. He knows the pool and replaced the liner 17 +/- years ago and when we first called him he asked us if we had water in the basement as he had recalled there was a water problem. This gives me comfort so it makes me want to wait for him to show up rather than engaging with someone else. The other guy did call back, but we wouldn't work well together.

We live in the central Massachusetts and have 4 kids...we need this pool. LOL

Good luck!

UPDATE: So I am slow on the uptake, the original guy we called, hasn't returned out calls, so we moved on. I called four other companies, one guy we called, well, let's just say we weren't compatible. One only works on pools they installed and the other never called back. But the 4th, well they called back, came out and provided a proposal, to include the water issue. While they did not originally install our pool, their company has installed 5,400 pools in our geographic area since 1959. He said that pools were built with sand from the '50s until the '80s and there are a lot of sand pools around (our area) and that ours is in pretty good shape. Not to worry, he would be sending a proposal later that day. Well, true to his word, he sent the proposal, it was $500 more than the original guy quoted, but at this point, we don't have much choice. I signed the proposal, wrote a check and RAN to the post office. This will be a short summer season swimming, but we are THRILLED that this company can fix it! I am kicking myself that I didn't call them first as perhaps it would have been fixed by now! Thank you so much for your help!

Glad that we were able to help; I hope it all goes well for you!

Come back when you start putting water in the pool, so we can help with the chemistry (which is where our expertise really lies!). Don't wait till the pool's full, and the water already has a greenish tint!
