proadAccountId-376398 • April 1, 2019

1. Is this the main stay of your business?
 Yes! We are  The Liner Specialists.

2. How long have you been installing pool liners?
 The Liner Specialists has been in business for more than 26 years!

3. How many pool liners have you installed in that time?
 More than 5,000 pool liners have been reinstalled in our 26+ years in business!

4. Who measures your liners?
 The owner measures between 98%-100% of liners each year.

5. Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?
 Yes!
Do you have new pool certifications CST and SP1?
 Yes!

6. What are your strengths?
  Over 95% of our installations are 100% wrinkle-free.

7. Do you subcontract your work?
  No. All of our crews are on our payroll. We take full responsibility for our work, from measurements to installations and beyond!

8. Are your liners Virgin Vinyl or Recycled?
 At The Liner Specialists, we use Virgin Vinyl. Recycled liners are cheaper but will not last as long. They tend to get pin holes in them due to inferior materials that are added in, like milk jugs, soda bottles, and a filler called calcium carbonate.

9. Are your liners calendared or extruded?
 At The Liner Specialists, our liners are calendared. This is the process of flattening the vinyl with rollers, like a printing press. This gives the vinyl the consistency that is needed for the longevity of your pool liner. Extruded pool liners are squeezed through a press, like play-dough. This leads to an inconsistent thickness through the liner. As a result of these inconsistencies, liners will fail prematurely. You must have consistency to achieve quality.
