Frequently asked

Questions pool builders ask

Is Workhand built for pool service or pool construction?

Pool construction first, with service workflows that work for new-build warranty calls and occasional weekly maintenance. If you run pure route-based weekly pool service with 15 stops a day per tech, Skimmer or Pool360 is what you want. If you build pools and do some service on the side, Workhand fits.

Do you log chemicals?

Yes. Per-visit chemical logs capture free chlorine, total chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, salt level if applicable, water temperature, and chemicals added. Each entry stamps date, time, and tech. Customers can see the log history through their portal link. The chemical logs are part of Pro and Team plans.

Can I track customer selections (tile, plaster, coping, equipment)?

Yes. Each job has a selections sheet. You can capture tile, plaster, coping, decking, water features, equipment (pump, filter, heater, salt cell, automation), lights, and any custom category you add. Each selection holds a photo reference, vendor info, SKU, and customer signoff date so there's no argument about which finish was actually picked.

Does Workhand handle gunite-through-plaster phases?

Yes. The job phase template for pool builders runs through excavation, steel, plumbing, gunite, tile, coping, decking, plaster, startup, and final walkthrough. Each phase has its own checklist, milestone, and crew assignment. Customer sees the phase progression in the portal so they always know what's next.

Can I send estimates in Spanish or Portuguese?

Yes. Each estimate and invoice can be generated in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, picked per document. This matters for Florida, Texas, California, and Arizona builders working with Spanish-speaking homeowners and for builders selling to Brazilian-Portuguese-speaking customers. Workhand is one of the few contractor tools that ships multilingual customer documents out of the box.
