Pool Closing in Jericho, NY

Your Pool Protected All Winter Long

Expert pool winterization that prevents freeze damage and saves you time next spring.

Professional Pool Winterization Services

No Freeze Damage, No Spring Surprises

Winter’s coming whether you’re ready or not. Your pool equipment doesn’t care if you’re busy with work, kids, or life—it just knows that when temperatures drop below freezing, unprotected pipes burst and pumps crack.

That’s exactly what professional pool closing prevents. When we winterize your pool properly, your equipment stays intact through the coldest Long Island winter. Your plumbing lines get blown clear of water that could freeze and expand. Your pool surface gets protected from ice damage that costs thousands to repair.

Come spring, you’re not dealing with emergency repairs or wondering why your pump won’t start. You’re opening a pool that’s been properly maintained through winter—ready for another season of family time and relaxation.

Jericho Pool Closing Experts

We Know Long Island Winters

We’ve been protecting pools across Long Island for years, and we understand exactly what Jericho winters do to unprotected pool equipment. We’ve seen the aftermath of DIY closings gone wrong—cracked pump housings, burst pipes, and damaged pool surfaces that could have been prevented.

Our team handles everything from custom Gunite pools to above-ground installations. We’re not just seasonal workers who show up in fall and disappear—we’re the same company that designs, builds, and maintains pools year-round in this area.

That means we know your specific pool, your equipment, and exactly what it takes to get through a Long Island winter without problems.

Pool Winterization Process

Complete Winterization in One Visit

We start by balancing your water chemistry—the right pH and alkalinity levels prevent corrosion and staining during the months your pool sits closed. Then we remove all water from your plumbing lines using professional-grade equipment that gets every drop out of pipes, pumps, and filters.

Your equipment gets properly winterized next. We add antifreeze to lines that can’t be completely drained, remove and store sensitive components, and shut down all electrical systems safely. The skimmer and return lines get plugged to prevent any water from entering the system.

Finally, we install your winter cover properly—not just thrown over the pool, but secured with the right tension and anchoring to handle Long Island’s wind and snow loads. When we’re done, your pool is completely protected until spring opening season.

Complete Pool Closing Service

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your pool closing service covers water chemistry balancing, complete plumbing winterization, equipment shutdown and protection, and professional cover installation. We bring all necessary chemicals, antifreeze, and equipment plugs—no surprise charges or additional fees.

Jericho’s climate presents specific challenges that we account for in every closing. The area’s temperature swings and occasional early freezes mean timing matters, and we schedule your closing based on local weather patterns, not a generic calendar date.

We also handle both inground and above-ground pools, including the unique requirements of different pool types. Fiberglass pools need different care than vinyl liners, and Gunite pools have their own winterization requirements—we adjust our process accordingly because we work with all these pool types year-round.

When should I schedule pool closing in Jericho, NY?

The best time for pool closing in Jericho is typically mid to late October, when daytime temperatures consistently stay below 65°F. You don’t want to close too early while you could still be swimming, but waiting too long risks an unexpected freeze that could damage unprotected equipment. We monitor local weather patterns and will recommend the optimal timing for your specific situation. If you have a heater and want to extend your season, we can work around that. The key is having your pool winterized before the first hard freeze, which in Jericho usually happens in late October or early November. Early scheduling is important because October and November are our busiest months. Pool owners who wait until the last minute often find themselves scrambling when the first freeze warning hits.

What happens if I don't winterize my pool properly?

Freeze damage is expensive and often not covered by homeowner’s insurance. Water expands when it freezes, and that expansion will crack pump housings, split PVC pipes, and damage pool equipment. We’ve seen pump replacements cost $800-1500, and plumbing repairs can run several thousand dollars. Beyond equipment damage, improper water chemistry during winter can stain your pool surface permanently. High pH levels combined with metals in the water create stains that require acid washing or even surface replacement to remove. Your pool cover can also be damaged by improper installation. Covers that aren’t secured correctly get torn by wind, filled with water that freezes and stretches the material, or blown completely off the pool. A quality safety cover costs $1200-2000 to replace.

Do you service both inground and above-ground pools?

Yes, we handle winterization for all pool types including inground Gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl liner pools, plus above-ground pools. Each type requires specific winterization procedures, and we adjust our process accordingly. Above-ground pools need special attention to prevent ice damage to the walls and skimmer. We partially drain these pools to the correct level and use specific winterization techniques that protect the pool structure. The equipment winterization is just as thorough as inground pools. Inground pools vary by construction type. Gunite pools can handle full winterization, while vinyl liner pools require careful water level management to prevent liner damage. Fiberglass pools need specific chemical balancing to prevent gel coat issues. We’ve worked with all these pool types for years and know exactly what each one needs.

What's included in your pool closing service?

Our complete pool closing includes water chemistry balancing, thorough equipment winterization, plumbing line blowout with antifreeze where needed, and professional cover installation. We also remove and clean your pool accessories like ladders, diving boards, and pool lights that need winter storage. We bring all necessary chemicals including pH adjusters, alkalinity increasers, and winterizing algaecide. Pool antifreeze and equipment plugs are included—no additional charges for materials that are part of standard winterization. The service also includes equipment inspection and basic maintenance like cleaning your filter and checking for any issues that should be addressed before spring. If we find problems during closing, we’ll let you know so you can plan for repairs during the off-season when scheduling is more flexible.

How much does professional pool closing cost?

Pool closing costs vary based on pool size, equipment complexity, and specific winterization requirements. Most Jericho homeowners invest $200-400 for complete professional winterization, which is significantly less than the cost of freeze damage repairs. The investment makes sense when you consider that a single frozen pipe repair often costs more than several years of professional closing services. Add in the time savings and peace of mind, and professional winterization pays for itself quickly. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. The quote includes all labor, chemicals, and materials needed for complete winterization. If your pool has special requirements like multiple pumps, spa equipment, or complex automation systems, we’ll discuss any additional costs before starting the work.

Can you handle pool closing if I have a heater or automation system?

Absolutely. We regularly winterize pools with heaters, automation systems, variable speed pumps, and other advanced equipment. These systems require specific shutdown procedures to prevent damage, and we’re experienced with all major brands and models. Pool heaters need complete drainage and proper shutdown procedures to prevent internal damage. Heat exchangers can crack if water freezes inside them, and gas connections require safe disconnection. We handle all of this as part of our winterization process. Automation systems get properly shut down with settings saved for spring startup. Variable speed pumps have specific winterization requirements different from standard pumps. If you have salt water systems, UV sterilizers, or other special equipment, we adjust our winterization process to protect everything properly.
