Custom Pool Construction Services

More Than Just a Pool

You’re not just getting a hole filled with water. You’re creating the backdrop for summer barbecues, teaching your kids to swim, and those quiet evening moments when you finally have a place to unwind.

A well-built inground pool transforms how you use your backyard. Instead of looking out at empty space, you’ll have a reason to step outside every day. Your property value increases significantly, but more importantly, your quality of life improves immediately.

The right pool builders understand that every family uses their pool differently. Some want a lap pool for exercise. Others need shallow areas for young children. Many want integrated water features or custom decking that matches their home’s style.

Pool Installation Process Riverhead

Straightforward Start to Finish

Your pool project begins with an on-site consultation where we discuss your vision, budget, and timeline. We’ll evaluate your property, discuss design options, and provide a detailed estimate that covers everything from excavation to final cleanup.

Once you approve the design, we handle all permits and coordinate with local authorities. The excavation phase typically takes 1-2 days, depending on your pool size and any site challenges. We’re experienced with Long Island’s soil conditions and know how to work efficiently.

Construction follows a systematic approach: steel framework, plumbing and electrical rough-in, concrete application, and finishing work. Throughout the process, you’ll know exactly what’s happening and when. Most residential pool installations complete within 4-6 weeks, weather permitting.

Complete Pool Construction Package

Every pool project includes professional excavation, steel reinforcement installation, plumbing and electrical systems, concrete application, and interior finishing. We also handle pool decking, coping installation, and basic landscaping restoration around the construction area.

Your pool comes with all necessary equipment: filtration system, pump, heater connections, and safety features required by local codes. We can integrate water features like fountains or waterfalls, install pool lighting, and create custom decking designs that complement your home.

Riverhead homeowners often request specific features based on their family needs. We regularly install pool steps, benches, swim-up bars, and shallow play areas. Each element gets planned during the design phase so everything integrates seamlessly rather than looking like an afterthought.

Most custom inground pools in the Riverhead area range from $50,000 to $100,000, depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic rectangular pool with standard equipment typically starts around $50,000, while pools with custom shapes, water features, or premium finishes can exceed $80,000. Your final cost depends on factors like excavation difficulty, decking materials, and additional features like heating systems or automated controls. We provide detailed estimates that break down every cost so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Most residential pool projects complete within 4-6 weeks once construction begins, but the entire process from initial consultation to swimming takes 8-12 weeks. The timeline includes design approval, permit acquisition, excavation, construction, and final inspections. Weather can impact outdoor construction, especially during Long Island’s winter months. We typically recommend starting your project in early spring for summer completion. Complex designs with extensive decking or water features may require additional time, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
Yes, we manage all permit applications and coordinate required inspections throughout your project. Riverhead requires specific permits for pool construction, electrical work, and sometimes additional approvals depending on your property’s setbacks and local regulations. We’re familiar with local building codes and maintain relationships with inspection officials, which helps avoid delays. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, and we won’t start excavation until all approvals are secured. This protects you from potential legal issues and ensures your pool meets all safety requirements.
Long Island’s sandy soil conditions actually make excavation easier than rocky or clay soils, but they require specific techniques for proper pool shell support. We’re experienced with local soil conditions and know how to handle groundwater issues that sometimes arise. The area’s building codes are also specific about setbacks, fencing requirements, and safety features. Our familiarity with Riverhead’s permit process and inspection requirements helps avoid common delays that inexperienced contractors encounter. We also understand seasonal construction limitations and plan projects accordingly.
JAS Aquatics maintains all required New York State contractor licenses and carries comprehensive liability insurance for every project. We’re properly bonded and can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. This protects you from liability if accidents occur on your property and ensures you’re working with legitimate professionals. Many pool construction problems arise from hiring unlicensed contractors who cut corners or abandon projects. Our licensing and insurance give you recourse if issues arise and demonstrate our commitment to professional standards.
We regularly install custom water features including waterfalls, fountains, spas, and swim-up bars as part of our pool construction projects. These features require additional plumbing and electrical work, which we plan during the design phase for seamless integration. Popular options include natural stone waterfalls, LED lighting systems, and attached spas with separate heating controls. Custom features add to your project timeline and budget, but they create the resort-style backyard experience many homeowners want. We’ll show you examples of similar installations and discuss what works best for your space and budget.
