  • Standard in-ground pools – Usually take 6 to 12 weeks from excavation to completion.
  • Custom luxury pools – These may take several months, especially if adding features like waterfalls, heating, or automation.

Permit approvals, weather delays, and material availability can affect the timeline.

The cost varies based on pool type, size, materials, and features:

  • Basic above-ground pools – Range from $1,500 to $10,000.
  • In-ground pools – Typically cost $35,000 to $65,000, but high-end designs can exceed $100,000.
  • Luxury pools with custom features – Pricing depends on additions like infinity edges, heating systems, and automated covers.

It's recommended to get multiple quotes and ensure the cost includes permits, excavation, and finishing touches.

Yes, most areas require permits for:

  •  Excavation and construction to ensure compliance with zoning laws.
  • Plumbing and electrical work for filtration, lighting, and heating.
  •  Safety measures such as fencing, drainage, and depth regulations.

A professional contractor will handle permits and inspections, but always confirm what is included in their service.

To keep a pool in top condition, you need regular maintenance:

  • Test and adjust pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels weekly.
  • Clean filters and skimmers every 1-2 weeks.
  • Use a pool vacuum or skimmer net to remove leaves and dirt.
  • Winterize pools before freezing weather and perform deep cleanings in spring.

You can also hire a professional pool cleaning service to keep with regular maintenance.
