Transform Your Backyard Into Paradise

You’ve been thinking about it for months, maybe years. That empty backyard space where you picture summer evenings with family, weekend barbecues with friends, and kids who actually want to stay home instead of asking to go somewhere else.

A custom inground pool changes how you live at home. No more driving to crowded public pools or paying for expensive club memberships. Your backyard becomes the destination.

But here’s what really matters: you get a pool that fits your space, your style, and your budget. Not some cookie-cutter design that looks like every other pool in the neighborhood. We’re talking about custom pool construction that works with your property’s layout, drainage, and your family’s needs.

We Know Pool Construction Inside Out

JAS Aquatics has been building custom inground pools for Water Island homeowners who want quality work done right the first time. We’re licensed pool contractors who handle everything from initial design to final inspection.

You won’t find us cutting corners or leaving projects half-finished. We show up when we say we will, use quality materials, and handle all the permit paperwork that makes most homeowners’ heads spin.

Local pool building means we understand Water Island’s soil conditions, drainage requirements, and exactly what permits you need before we break ground.

Pool Installation Process

Here's How Your Pool Gets Built

First, we come out to look at your property and talk through what you want. We’ll measure your space, check drainage, and discuss design options that actually work with your backyard layout.

Next comes excavation and construction. We handle all permits, mark utilities, and dig your pool to exact specifications. Then we install the shell, plumbing, and electrical systems. This is where experience matters most – everything has to be done right because you can’t easily fix it later.

Finally, we install your decking, coping, and any water features you’ve chosen. We test all systems, balance your water chemistry, and walk you through basic maintenance. You get a pool that’s ready to use, not a project you have to finish yourself.

Inground Pool Construction Services

What's Included In Your Project

Your pool construction project includes complete excavation, professional installation of shell and all mechanical systems, plus quality decking and coping that matches your home’s style. We handle permit applications, utility marking, and all inspections required by Water Island regulations.

You also get professional pool equipment installation – pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems that keep your pool running efficiently. We don’t use cheap equipment that breaks down in two years. Quality components cost more upfront but save you headaches and money long-term.

Water feature installation is available for homeowners who want fountains, waterfalls, or spa additions. These features get integrated during construction, not added later as an afterthought.

Most custom inground pool projects take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion, but timeline depends on pool size, features, and weather conditions. We start with excavation and utility installation, which takes about a week. Shell installation and plumbing rough-in takes another 1-2 weeks. Decking, coping, and finishing work typically requires 2-3 weeks. Weather delays are common in New York, especially during spring and fall construction seasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated if delays occur.
Yes, Water Island requires building permits for all inground pool construction, plus electrical permits for pool equipment and lighting. We handle all permit applications as part of your project – you don’t need to deal with paperwork or inspections yourself. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, which is why we start applications early in your project timeline. Pool construction also requires utility marking to locate underground lines before excavation. We coordinate all inspections required during construction to keep your project moving forward.
Gunite and vinyl liner are the two main construction methods for inground pools in our area. Gunite pools use sprayed concrete that’s steel-reinforced and completely customizable for shape and depth. They last decades but cost more upfront. Vinyl liner pools use a steel or polymer wall structure with a vinyl liner. They cost less initially but liners need replacement every 7-10 years. We recommend gunite for most Water Island homeowners because of durability and design flexibility, but vinyl can work well for simpler rectangular designs and tighter budgets.
Custom inground pool costs typically range from $50,000 to $100,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start around $50,000-60,000. Custom shapes, water features, premium decking, and automation systems increase costs. Difficult excavation due to rock, slopes, or tight access also affects pricing. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your property and discussing your specific requirements. Pool financing options are available for qualified homeowners who prefer monthly payments over lump sum payment.
New pools require weekly water testing and chemical balancing, regular skimming and vacuuming, and seasonal opening/closing procedures. Daily maintenance takes about 15-20 minutes during swimming season. You’ll need to maintain proper chlorine and pH levels, clean skimmer baskets, and brush pool walls weekly. Pool equipment like pumps and filters need periodic cleaning and annual professional service. We provide complete maintenance training when your pool is finished, plus written instructions for chemical balancing and equipment operation. Many homeowners choose professional pool service for weekly maintenance.
Pool construction in Water Island typically runs from April through October due to weather and ground conditions. Frozen ground makes excavation difficult or impossible during winter months. We can do design work and permitting during winter months, then start construction when conditions improve in spring. Some finishing work like decking and landscaping may extend into late fall depending on weather. If you’re planning a pool for next summer, fall and winter are actually ideal times to start the design and planning process so we can begin construction as early as possible in spring.
