Your Backyard Becomes the Destination

You stop looking at your backyard as wasted space. Instead, you see where summer evenings happen, where kids learn to swim, where you actually want to spend time after work.

The right pool transforms how you use your property. Not just during pool season, but year-round when you look out your windows and see something that makes you proud to live there.

Quality construction means you’re swimming instead of calling repair companies. Proper design means your pool fits your space like it was always meant to be there. Licensed work means no surprises from the building department later.

We Know Long Island Pool Construction

JAS Aquatics has been building pools on Long Island for years, which means we understand the soil conditions, permit requirements, and weather challenges that make or break pool projects here.

We’re licensed and insured in New York, handle all permits and inspections, and know which materials hold up to freeze-thaw cycles. When you work with local contractors who’ve been doing this in your area, you avoid the problems that come with companies learning on your project.

From Design Meeting to First Swim

First, you meet to discuss what you want, where it fits, and what’s realistic for your space and budget. No pressure, just honest conversation about what works and what doesn’t.

Next comes design and permits. We handle the paperwork with the town, create detailed plans, and schedule inspections. You don’t deal with building departments or figure out code requirements.

Then excavation and construction. We dig, install plumbing and electrical, pour concrete, and finish with your chosen materials. Each step gets inspected before moving forward, so there are no shortcuts or surprises.

Finally, equipment installation and startup. Pumps, filters, heaters get connected and tested. You get a walkthrough of how everything works before we consider the job complete.

Most inground pool projects in Centre Island take 6-10 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. The permit process adds 2-4 weeks before construction begins. Custom features like waterfalls, spas, or complex shapes can extend the timeline. Weather delays are common during Long Island winters, so spring and summer starts typically move faster. The key is working with contractors who schedule realistically and communicate changes as they happen, rather than promising unrealistic timelines that create frustration.
Centre Island requires building permits for all inground pools, plus separate permits for electrical and plumbing work. You’ll also need fence permits if installing new pool barriers. The application includes detailed construction plans, property surveys, and setback measurements. Some properties may need additional approvals for drainage or environmental considerations. Licensed contractors handle this process because we know local requirements and have relationships with building departments. Attempting DIY permits often leads to delays, rejections, or compliance issues that cost more to fix than hiring professionals initially.
Custom inground pools in Centre Island typically range from $75,000 to $150,000+ depending on size, materials, and features. Basic rectangular pools start lower, while custom shapes with premium finishes, heating, and water features cost more. Long Island’s soil conditions and local labor rates affect pricing compared to other regions. The key is getting detailed written estimates that include all work, permits, and materials so you can compare accurately. Cheap bids often exclude necessary items or use substandard materials that create problems later, making them expensive in the long run.
Concrete and vinyl liner pools both work well on Long Island when properly constructed. Concrete handles freeze-thaw cycles better but costs more upfront. Vinyl liners are more affordable but may need replacement every 8-12 years. The key is proper excavation, drainage, and backfill regardless of material choice. Quality pool equipment rated for cold climates prevents freeze damage. Automatic covers extend swimming seasons and reduce maintenance. Experienced local contractors know which material combinations perform best in Long Island’s climate and soil conditions, helping you choose based on your priorities and budget.
Yes, proper winterization is essential for Long Island pools to prevent freeze damage to plumbing, equipment, and pool structure. This includes lowering water levels, blowing out plumbing lines, adding winterizing chemicals, and covering the pool. Equipment like pumps, filters, and heaters need protection from freezing temperatures. Many homeowners hire professionals for winterization because mistakes can cause thousands in damage. Spring opening reverses the process and includes equipment startup, chemical balancing, and cleaning. Proper seasonal maintenance extends pool life and prevents expensive repairs from freeze damage.
Start with licensing and insurance verification – never work with unlicensed contractors regardless of price. Check local references and see completed projects in person, not just photos. Get detailed written estimates that include all work, materials, permits, and timelines. Ask about warranty coverage and what happens if problems arise. Experienced local builders understand Long Island soil conditions, permit requirements, and weather challenges. Avoid contractors who demand large upfront payments or pressure immediate decisions. The right builder explains the process clearly, provides realistic timelines, and has established relationships with local suppliers and inspectors.
