"Review by Bob D. Ypsilanti Project: Convert hybrid pool to vinyl liner Very professional from the office staff to the workers in the field. Calls and/or emails answered either immediately or within 24 hours. This was not an easy job and many other pool company's did not even want to deal with it. I would definitely hire this company again"

"After putting off our pool refinishing for many years, for fear of losing a month of Michiganâ s very short swimming season, we contacted Prestige just in time. They were able to start our project in April and a crew was on site within days. I had never guessed what an arduous task removing and replacing the coping and tile would be. Not to mention the craftsmanship involved with applying new Marcite. In previous years, weâ d been tempted to try to paint the Marcite ourselves. So glad we didnâ t. Thereâ s a real craft to this and the Prestige crew are master craftsmen. The crew was very respectful of our house and our time. When they needed access to an extra electrical outlet in our sun room, the men wouldnâ t enter with their work boots on, to avoid dirtying the floor. They warned me when entering the yard when our new puppy was outside. And were always accommodating when we needed them to move their work truck. When they arrived for the first day, they removed the cover and did a partial reopening. One less thing for me to worry about. One thing about scheduling: We know we lucked into a spot at the start of the season. If youâ re planning to use Prestige, contact them as soon as you can. We documented the whole process, if youâ d like to see before, during and after photos. We highly recommend Prestige Pools!"

"Mike was awesome. Price was competitive and he squeezed us in right in the midst of all the COVID chaos! We asked to be completed by July 4th, and they were filling the pool on the 3rd! Just in time for our family gathering! The finished product is absolutely gorgeous and both Mike and all his guys were just so nice and conscientious. As the people at the tile store said, â there are a lot of crooks in the pool business, but you got one of the nicest guys!â Thanks so much, Mike!"

"We were originally scheduled for an early December job, but a slot opened and we were inserted two months earlier. Doug and his crew showed up early in the morning on the first day to drain the pool and begin tearing down the safety fence, removing accessories and making way for the machinery to gain access to the pool area. Once everything was cleared, a bobcat and a backhoe were used to remove the concrete and break up the marcite as necessary to meet code. All waste and concrete remnants were hauled away. Day two involved filling the pool after approval by the town inspector, then putting down topsoil and seeding the area. The entire job was completed in two days. Now, three weeks later, the seed is sprouting with an expectation that the lawn will establish well next spring. All in all, it seems that Pool Busters did a great job! The final proof will be seeing how much the pool area settles after the winter season. So far, so good after a couple of saturating rains."

FAQs for pool construction and installation projects in Milan, MI

Most spool or cocktail pools take four to 12 weeks from breaking ground to the first swim, although timing varies depending on size, type, and site conditions. An above-ground, vinyl-lined model can be installed within three or four days once the kit arrives, whereas an in-ground spool adds excavation, plumbing, and inspection steps that extend the timeline. Because delivery alone can take a few weeks, lining up permits and any necessary digging or grading work during that window helps keep the project moving.

Cocktail pools are not intended for traditional swimming; they are built to deliver a cooling and relaxing experience. They provide an ideal setting for a refreshing dip rather than for exercise or lap swimming. The pool’s limited dimensions restrict vigorous activity and ensure safety, making it a perfect retreat for quick cool-downs and leisurely soaks in a compact, stylish design.

Spool pools have a depth of 38 to 42 inches, which is ideal for sitting, standing, and gentle dipping. This deliberate depth prioritizes safety and an inviting atmosphere while eliminating the possibility of diving or extended swimming. The measured design creates a secure and intimate space for relaxation, adding a refined touch to your outdoor area.

If you're handy and have experience with excavation, plumbing, and electrical work, consider installing your spool pool yourself. However, hiring a professional ensures the job is done safely and correctly. Pros have the expertise to handle all the technical details, giving you peace of mind and helping you avoid costly mistakes.

Maintaining a spool pool demands regular cleaning, precise chemical balancing, and thorough system inspections. Homeowners should allocate time monthly for filter cleaning and water quality checks, in addition to performing seasonal maintenance, to ensure optimal system performance. Ongoing maintenance preserves water clarity and operational efficiency, reduces repair costs, and extends the pool’s lifespan, creating a safe and enjoyable environment.

Popular upgrades include a brick-paver patio for slip-resistant footing, low-voltage lighting for evening swims, and code-compliant fencing to boost safety. Additionally, consider adding landscaping or a fire pit to transform the pool area into a year-round hangout. Each feature raises overall costs, but thoughtful add-ons improve usability, curb appeal, and, in many markets, resale value.
