Custom Pool Construction Services

Transform Your Backyard Into Paradise

You’ve been thinking about it for months, maybe years. That space in your backyard could be so much more than grass you have to mow every weekend.

A custom inground pool changes everything. Summer evenings become something you actually look forward to instead of hiding inside with the AC cranked up. Your kids stop begging to go to friends’ houses because yours becomes the place everyone wants to be.

But here’s what really matters: you get a pool that fits your space perfectly. Not some cookie-cutter design that works “okay,” but a pool built specifically for how your family actually lives. This includes activities such as lap swimming at 6 AM, hosting weekend pool parties, or simply relaxing with a book on a Sunday afternoon.

Pool Installation Process Hempstead

Here's Exactly What Happens

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

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle all the permit paperwork and HOA approvals. You shouldn’t have to navigate town hall bureaucracy when you’re paying professionals to manage your project.

Excavation comes next, followed by plumbing and electrical rough-ins. Then comes the pool shell installation, whether that’s gunite, fiberglass, or vinyl, depending on your choice. After the shell cures and passes inspection, we install your chosen finishes, coping, and decking.

Finally, we install and test all equipment, fill your pool, and walk you through everything you need to know about maintenance and operation. You get a pool that’s ready to use, not a DIY project.

How long does it take to build an inground pool in Hempstead?

Most custom inground pools in the Hempstead area take 6-10 weeks from excavation to completion, but several factors affect the timeline. Weather delays are common, especially during spring and fall when rain can halt excavation or concrete work. Permit approval typically takes 2-3 weeks before construction even begins. Complex designs with multiple features, rock excavation, or utility relocations can add time. The good news is that experienced local contractors can usually predict potential delays upfront and give you realistic expectations rather than overly optimistic timelines that leave you frustrated.

What permits do I need for a pool in Nassau County?

Nassau County requires a building permit for all inground pools, plus separate permits for electrical and plumbing work. You’ll also need to comply with setback requirements, typically 10 feet from property lines and 20 feet from septic systems. Many neighborhoods have HOA approval requirements on top of county permits. Pool fencing must meet specific safety codes, usually at a minimum height of 4 feet with self-closing, self-latching gates. Professional pool contractors should handle all permit applications and inspections as part of their service, since we know local requirements and have established relationships with inspectors.

How much does a custom inground pool cost in Hempstead?

Custom inground pools in the Nassau County area typically range from $50,000 to $100,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools with standard finishes start around $50,000-60,000. Add features like waterfalls, spas, or complex shapes, and you’re looking at $70,000–$90,000. Premium finishes, extensive decking, or challenging excavation conditions can push costs higher. Rock excavation, which is common in parts of Nassau County, can add $5,000-15,000 to any project. Get detailed written estimates that break down all costs, including permits, so you can compare accurately.

What's the difference between gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl pool construction?

Gunite pools are built on-site using sprayed concrete, allowing completely custom shapes and sizes. They’re the most durable option and can include built-in features like benches or spas, but they take the longest to install. Fiberglass pools come as pre-formed shells that are craned into excavated holes. Installation is faster, and the surface is smooth and algae-resistant, but you’re limited to available shapes and sizes. Vinyl pools use steel or polymer walls with vinyl liners. They’re the most budget-friendly option and can be customized for shape, but liners need replacement every 7-10 years. Your choice depends on budget, timeline, and how much customization matters to you.

Do I need special insurance for my new pool?

Yes, you should contact your homeowner’s insurance company before pool construction begins. Most policies will cover pools, but you’ll likely see a premium increase of $200-500 annually. Some insurers require specific safety features like pool fencing, covers, or alarms. You’ll also want to increase your liability coverage since pools create additional risk exposure. A few insurance companies won’t cover homes with pools at all, so check before you build rather than after. Your pool contractor should carry their liability insurance during construction, but that doesn’t protect you once the project is complete and we leave.

What maintenance does a new inground pool require?

Daily maintenance involves skimming debris and checking chemical levels, which takes about 10-15 minutes. Weekly tasks include vacuuming, brushing walls, and testing/adjusting water chemistry. You’ll need to clean skimmer and pump baskets regularly and backwash your filter system as needed. Chemical costs typically run $300-600 per season, depending on pool size and usage. Many pool owners hire maintenance services for $100-200 monthly rather than handling everything themselves. Modern automation systems can manage much of the chemical balancing automatically, though you’ll still need to monitor and add chemicals as needed. Proper maintenance prevents expensive repairs and keeps your water safe and clear.
