Question 1

How do I choose the right pool builder?

Accepted Answer

Look for a licensed pool contractor (required in most states) with strong Google ratings specifically for new pool construction. Check reviews for timeliness, communication during the build, and whether the finished pool matched the design. Ask for at least three client references to contact directly.

Question 2

What should I expect to pay for pool installation?

Accepted Answer

An in-ground concrete/gunite pool with basic features costs $60,000–$100,000. Vinyl liner pools run $40,000–$70,000. Fiberglass pools cost $45,000–$90,000 installed. Decking, equipment upgrades, and water features add $5,000–$30,000. Costs vary significantly by region.

Question 3

How long does pool construction typically take?

Accepted Answer

Permitting takes 3–8 weeks. Construction typically takes 6–12 weeks for concrete pools, 3–6 weeks for fiberglass. Total project time from contract signing to swim-ready is typically 4–6 months.

Question 4

What questions should I ask before hiring a pool builder?

Accepted Answer

Ask for their contractor's license number and pool-specific licensing, proof of insurance, a detailed project timeline, what's included in the warranty (equipment vs. structure), how they handle subcontractors, and who is your point of contact throughout the build.

Question 5

Are pool builders on this directory screened?

Accepted Answer

All listings are sourced from Google Business Profiles and ranked by real Google ratings and review volume. Confirm pool contractor licensing with your state board and verify insurance independently before signing any contract.

Question 6

What if I have a bad experience with a pool builder?

Accepted Answer

Document all issues with photos and written records. Invoke your contract warranty in writing. File with your state contractor licensing board and consult a construction attorney for significant defect claims. Mechanics liens may be an option if the contractor abandoned the project.
