Vinyl-liner pools provide greater flexibility in customization and are a cost-effective option for homeowners. We work closely with our clients to help them determine which type best suits their needs, lifestyle, and budget.

How long does the pool construction process take?The timeline for pool construction depends on factors such as pool type, weather conditions, and site preparation requirements. Fiberglass pools generally take between 2 to 4 weeks for installation, while vinyl-liner pools may take 4 to 6 weeks due to additional customization and liner installation. Factors like permits, excavation, and weather delays may affect the overall timeline. We provide a detailed construction schedule and keep clients informed throughout the process.
Can I customize the shape and size of my pool?Yes! While fiberglass pools come in predetermined shapes and sizes, we offer a variety of options to fit different backyard layouts. Vinyl-liner pools, on the other hand, allow for full customization in terms of shape, depth, and size. Our team will work with you to design a pool that complements your outdoor space and meets your specific needs.
Do you offer pool maintenance services?Yes, we offer comprehensive pool maintenance services to keep your pool in pristine condition. Our services include regular cleaning, chemical balancing, equipment inspections, and seasonal opening and closing. Whether you need weekly maintenance or occasional check-ups, we ensure your pool remains safe, clean, and fully functional year-round.
What is the cost of building a new pool?The cost of a new pool varies depending on factors such as pool type, size, materials, site conditions, and additional features. Fiberglass pools typically range from $40,000 to $75,000, while vinyl-liner pools can range from $30,000 to $60,000. Customization options, decking, and landscaping can also impact the overall price. We provide detailed quotes and work with clients to find solutions within their budget.
What additional features can I add to my pool?We offer a variety of additional features to enhance your pool experience, including waterfalls, LED lighting, tanning ledges, built-in seating, automatic covers, heating systems, and saltwater conversion. Whether you want a luxurious spa feel or a fun family-friendly setup, we can integrate features that fit your vision.
How do I choose between a fiberglass and a vinyl-liner pool?Choosing between fiberglass and vinyl-liner pools depends on your preferences, budget, and long-term maintenance considerations. Fiberglass pools are low-maintenance, durable, and quick to install but have limited shape options. Vinyl-liner pools offer complete customization and a lower initial cost but require liner replacements every 7 to 10 years. Our team will help you weigh the pros and cons to make the best decision for your needs.
Do you assist with obtaining necessary permits?Yes, we handle all necessary permits and ensure that your pool construction complies with local regulations. Our team works closely with city and county officials to secure approvals, so you can have peace of mind knowing everything is up to code.
Can I add a slide or diving board to my pool?Absolutely! We offer slides, diving boards, and other fun accessories to enhance your pool’s functionality. Keep in mind that safety regulations and pool depth requirements must be met for diving boards. Our team will help determine the best options based on your pool’s size and depth.
What is the best time of year to build a pool in North Alabama?The ideal time to build a pool in North Alabama is during the fall and winter months when demand is lower, and weather conditions are more stable. Building in the offseason ensures your pool is ready for use by summer. However, we construct pools year-round and can work with your schedule to find the best timing for your project.
Do you offer warranties on your pools?Yes, we provide warranties on both fiberglass and vinyl-liner pools. Fiberglass pools typically come with manufacturer warranties covering structural integrity for 25 years or more. Vinyl-liner pools include warranties for the liner and structural components. Additionally, we offer warranties on installation and pool equipment to ensure long-term peace of mind. Our team will review all warranty details with you before construction begins.
