Pool Installation Process

Here's How Your Pool Gets Built

First, we come to your property for a consultation. You’ll discuss your vision, budget, and timeline. We’ll assess your space, soil conditions, and any potential challenges. No pressure, just straight answers about what’s possible.

Next comes the design phase. We create detailed plans that work with your property’s layout and your family’s needs. Once you approve the design, we handle all permits and scheduling with local authorities.

Construction starts with professional excavation and site preparation. We install plumbing, electrical, and structural components according to code. Then comes gunite or liner installation, followed by decking, coping, and any custom features you’ve chosen. Finally, we fill, balance, and test everything before handing you the keys to your new backyard oasis.

Most custom inground pools in Fort Hill take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size, features, and weather conditions. The timeline includes excavation, plumbing and electrical installation, structural work, finishing, and final inspections. Permit approval adds 2-3 weeks before construction begins. Complex designs with multiple water features or challenging site conditions may extend the timeline. Weather delays during excavation or concrete work can also affect scheduling, especially during spring and fall months when conditions are less predictable.
Fort Hill requires building permits for all inground pool installations, plus electrical permits for lighting and equipment. You’ll also need fence permits if you’re installing required safety barriers. Some properties may require additional permits for setback variances or if you’re in a historic district. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks and includes plan review and inspections during key construction phases. Licensed pool contractors handle permit applications and coordinate inspections, ensuring everything meets local codes and safety requirements without delays.
Custom inground pools in Fort Hill typically range from $40,000 to $80,000, depending on size, materials, and features. Basic rectangular pools with standard finishes start around $40,000, while pools with custom shapes, premium materials, and water features can exceed $80,000. Factors affecting cost include excavation complexity, decking materials, lighting packages, and automation systems. Site conditions like rocky soil or limited access can increase excavation costs. Getting detailed written estimates from licensed contractors helps you understand exactly what’s included and avoid surprise charges.
New inground pools require regular chemical testing and balancing, typically 2-3 times per week during swimming season. You’ll need to maintain proper chlorine, pH, and alkalinity levels, plus shock the pool weekly. Equipment maintenance includes cleaning skimmer baskets, backwashing filters, and checking pump operation. Seasonal tasks include opening and closing procedures, equipment winterization, and annual equipment servicing. Most pool owners spend 3-4 hours per week on basic maintenance during swimming season. Professional service contracts are available if you prefer hands-off maintenance.
Well-built inground pools typically add 5-8% to property values in Fort Hill, though the exact increase depends on neighborhood standards and pool quality. Pools are especially valuable in areas where they’re common and expected by buyers. The return on investment is highest when the pool complements the home’s style and lot size appropriately. Custom features like quality decking, lighting, and landscaping integration maximize value impact. However, pools also narrow your buyer pool since not everyone wants pool maintenance responsibilities. Professional installation and quality materials ensure better long-term value retention.
Gunite pools use sprayed concrete that’s shaped and finished on-site, allowing complete customization of shape, depth, and features. They’re more durable and can last 50+ years with proper maintenance, but cost more upfront. Vinyl liner pools use pre-manufactured liners in steel or polymer wall systems, offering lower initial costs but requiring liner replacement every 8-12 years. Gunite pools handle freeze-thaw cycles better in New York weather and allow for more complex designs with built-in features. Vinyl pools install faster and work well for standard rectangular designs with simpler features.
