More Than Just a Pool

You’re not just getting a hole filled with water. You’re creating the spot where your kids will spend countless summer afternoons, where you’ll host barbecues that people actually want to attend, and where you can unwind after long days without driving anywhere.

A professionally built inground pool transforms how you use your backyard. No more packing beach bags or dealing with crowded public pools. Your space becomes the destination.

The right pool also adds significant value to your property. But only when it’s built correctly, with proper excavation, quality materials, and attention to Long Island’s specific soil conditions and weather patterns.

Every project starts with a realistic timeline and transparent pricing. No surprises, no disappearing acts, no cutting corners on excavation or installation.

Pool Installation Process

Here's Exactly How It Works

First, we’ll assess your backyard space and discuss your vision. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a real conversation about what’s possible given your space, budget, and local requirements.

Next comes design and permits. We handle the paperwork and work with local Shirley offices to ensure everything meets code. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and when.

Then excavation begins. This is where experience matters most. Long Island soil varies significantly, and proper excavation prevents costly problems later. We use professional equipment and know how to handle unexpected conditions.

Finally, construction and installation. Pool shell, plumbing, electrical, decking, and finishing work. You’ll see progress every day, and we’ll communicate any adjustments before making changes.

Most custom inground pool projects in Shirley take 4-8 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. The timeline includes excavation, pool shell installation, plumbing and electrical work, decking, and finishing touches. Permit approval can add 2-3 weeks to the front end, but we handle that process for you. Weather delays are possible during Long Island winters, which is why most pool construction happens between spring and fall. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated on progress throughout the project.
Pool construction in Shirley requires building permits from the Town of Brookhaven, and the specific requirements depend on your pool size, location, and property setbacks. You’ll also need electrical permits for pool lighting and equipment, and possibly additional permits for decking or water features. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks and includes plan review and inspections during construction. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local offices to ensure your project meets code requirements. This saves you time and prevents costly mistakes that can happen when homeowners try to navigate the permit process themselves.
Custom inground pool costs in Shirley typically range from $40,000 to $80,000 depending on size, depth, materials, and features like decking, lighting, or water elements. Factors that affect pricing include excavation complexity (Long Island soil conditions vary), pool shape and size, decking materials, and any custom features you want. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront – no hidden fees or surprise change orders. The investment includes excavation, pool shell, plumbing, electrical, basic decking, and startup. Additional features like heating, advanced lighting, or premium decking materials cost extra, but we’ll discuss all options during your consultation.
Yes, we handle all excavation with professional equipment designed for Long Island conditions. Shirley soil varies from sandy areas to clay and rocky sections, and we’ve encountered every type over the years. Rocky areas require specialized equipment and can affect timeline and cost, while sandy soil drains well but needs proper compaction. Clay soil requires careful handling to prevent drainage issues later. We assess soil conditions during the initial site visit and factor any challenges into your project timeline and pricing. Our experience with local soil conditions means fewer surprises and delays compared to contractors who don’t regularly work in the Shirley area.
Yes, JAS Aquatics is fully licensed and insured for pool construction in New York State. We carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, and we can provide proof of insurance before starting any project. Our licensing covers all aspects of pool construction including excavation, plumbing, and electrical work. This protects you from liability if accidents happen on your property, and it ensures the work meets professional standards. Many pool problems we see come from unlicensed contractors who cut corners or don’t understand local building codes. Working with licensed contractors also helps with permits and inspections, since local offices know we meet professional standards.
New pool maintenance involves regular chemical balancing, cleaning, and seasonal opening and closing. We’ll walk you through the basics during final installation, including how to test and adjust chemical levels, clean filters, and operate your pool equipment. Most homeowners spend 15-30 minutes per week on basic maintenance during pool season. You’ll also need professional seasonal services – opening in spring involves checking equipment and balancing water chemistry, while closing in fall requires draining lines and protecting equipment from freezing. We can recommend local pool service companies for ongoing maintenance, or provide guidance if you prefer handling it yourself. Proper maintenance from the start prevents costly repairs and keeps your pool ready whenever you want to use it.
