Pool Installation Process

Here's How We Build Your Pool

First, we come to your property for a consultation. We’ll look at your space, discuss your vision, and explain what’s possible within your budget. No pressure, just honest conversation about what it takes to build the pool you want.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle all the permits and approvals. Suffolk County has specific requirements, and we know exactly what they’re looking for. While permits process, we finalize your design and schedule excavation.

Construction starts with excavation and steel installation. We build the shell, install plumbing and electrical, then move to decking and coping. Throughout the process, you’ll know exactly what’s happening and when. Most residential pool construction takes 6-8 weeks from excavation to filling, weather permitting.

Pool Design and Construction

What's Included In Your Pool Project

Every custom pool project includes complete design, excavation, steel reinforcement, gunite application, plumbing, electrical, filtration system, and basic coping. We handle all permits, inspections, and coordinate with utility companies for any required markouts.

You’ll get a filtration system sized properly for your pool volume and usage. We install energy-efficient pumps that meet New York’s efficiency standards. All electrical work gets done by licensed electricians and passes Suffolk County inspection.

Pool decking options include concrete, pavers, or natural stone depending on your preference and budget. We can integrate water features like fountains or spillways during construction. Everything gets built to handle Long Island’s weather extremes, from summer heat to winter freezing.

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

Most custom inground pools take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion, but several factors affect timing. Permit approval through Suffolk County typically takes 2-3 weeks before we can start digging. Weather plays a big role – we can’t pour concrete in freezing temperatures or during heavy rain periods. Complex designs with multiple water features or extensive decking add time. Spring and early summer are our busiest seasons, so starting your project in late winter or fall often means faster completion. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation based on your specific project and the current season.

What permits do I need for pool construction in South Setauket?

You’ll need a building permit from the Town of Brookhaven, which covers South Setauket. This includes structural plans, electrical permits for pool equipment, and sometimes a separate permit for decking depending on the scope. If your pool is close to property lines, you might need variance approval. We handle all permit applications and know exactly what Suffolk County inspectors look for. The process typically takes 2-3 weeks if everything is submitted correctly the first time. We also coordinate required inspections during construction – usually steel inspection before gunite, electrical inspection, and final inspection before you can fill the pool.

How much does a custom inground pool cost in South Setauket?

Custom inground pools in South Setauket typically range from $50,000 to $100,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic 16×32 rectangular pool with standard equipment runs around $50,000-65,000. Add custom shapes, water features, upgraded decking, or challenging excavation conditions and costs increase accordingly. Long Island’s higher labor costs and stricter building codes affect pricing compared to other regions. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Financing options are available for qualified buyers. The key is getting an accurate estimate upfront based on your actual property conditions and preferences.

Can you build pools year-round on Long Island?

Pool construction is seasonal on Long Island due to weather constraints. We typically build from April through November, with the best construction weather in late spring through early fall. Concrete work can’t happen when temperatures drop below freezing, and excavation becomes difficult in frozen ground. However, we use the winter months for design, permits, and scheduling so your project can start as soon as conditions allow. If you’re planning a pool for next summer, fall and winter are actually great times to start the process. You’ll have more time for design decisions, permits get processed during slower periods, and you’re first in line when construction season begins.

What makes Long Island pool construction different from other areas?

Long Island presents unique challenges that affect pool construction. The soil varies dramatically – from sandy areas near the coast to heavy clay inland – which impacts excavation and drainage requirements. We’re in a freeze-thaw climate zone, so pools need proper steel reinforcement and concrete mixes that handle temperature extremes. Suffolk County has strict building codes and inspection requirements that many out-of-area contractors don’t understand. High water tables in some areas require special drainage considerations. Salt air near the coast affects equipment selection and decking materials. These factors are why choosing local pool contractors who understand Long Island conditions makes such a difference in your pool’s long-term performance.

Do you handle pool equipment installation and warranties?

Yes, we install all pool equipment including pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems. We work with leading manufacturers like Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy to ensure you get reliable equipment sized properly for your pool. All equipment comes with manufacturer warranties – typically 1-3 years depending on the component. We also provide a one-year warranty on our installation work covering any issues with plumbing, electrical connections, or equipment setup. After installation, we’ll walk you through operating your new pool system and provide maintenance guidance. If you have equipment problems during the warranty period, we handle warranty claims directly with manufacturers so you don’t have to deal with the paperwork and phone calls.
