How long does a pool liner last?

With balanced water chemistry and routine care, a pool liner can last an average of 15 to 20 years. Consistent upkeep prevents damage from excess chlorine, sanitizer, and heavy-metal buildup. Periodic professional inspections add an extra layer of protection, helping the liner stay watertight and attractive for its full lifespan.

Is it worth patching an old pool liner?

Patching works for small, isolated tears or leaks and can buy several more seasons of use. Once the vinyl shows widespread brittleness, fading, or seam failure, replacement becomes the smarter long-term move because patches won’t restore strength or watertightness. A pro can confirm whether a repair will hold or if a new liner will save money down the road.

How long does a pool liner replacement project take?

A pool liner replacement project takes one to four days to complete when executed properly. This duration covers draining the pool, removing the old liner, installing the new liner, and refilling the pool. Factors such as pool design, square footage, and weather conditions influence the total time, yet professional installers ensure that the job is finished efficiently.

"I contacted them through angi to come and drain, clean, refil and close my pool. The pool was drained and somewhat cleaned but it was still large dirt circles on the bottom of the pool with leaves everywhere. When I contacted him about the fact that the pool was not clean he basically said I did my job im done. I would NEVER recommend this company to any one, they are incredibly unprofessional and didn't provide an invoice or receipt. Overall horrible experience, I'd recommend you look elsewhere. "

"HORRIBLE CONTRACTORS!!! I have had contractors before and experienced some issues but this Anthony guy is very unprofessional and he is an absolutely nightmare! Not a single item was completed from the contract he and I agreed on and he took 60% of the contract amount and he stopped working the property. I had a property with some cosmetic work stuff and repairs which shouldn’t be that complicated. After he toured the property and gave me estimated time frame for 2 weeks. I know normally how it is not done with contractors so I asked him a few more times and confirmed if he could really finish it in two weeks. He was confident and said two weeks for no problem. After it has been almost 4 weeks, not even a quarter of work has been done and I noticed he didn’t even show up. He has so many excuses and complaints every single time when I contacted him. It felt like he was working for free which was not true. We agreed on 3 installment payments, 1st installment, before the job start about 30% of the total price, and 2nd one, 1/3 of the total price, and the last one at the completion of the job. After 2 weeks of work and not much of work has been done, he already requested for the 2nd installment. I asked him, the work has not been done 2/3 of the job, more over not even half way done. Anyway, he got upset and he wouldn’t continue the job if I didn’t pay. So I paid and then BOOM! He didn’t show up at work and when I asked him, his answer was it is too cold to work at the property. He made excuses and excuses and he said he will only come back if the heater is fixed. I did and texted him and called him. NO RESPONSE. Besides, his quality of work is horrible. He and his crew painted all over, light fixtures, light bulbs, floors, even bathtub. What kind of painter paint over the tub?! They simply didn’t even covered the parts not supposed to paint but they were so lazy and sloppy worker. They installed the brand new room doors, two out of three, didn’t even close properly and didn’t even use the shim. Installing the door is one of the basic carpentry job and he can’t even do that! I asked for the breakdown of the work and cost and no answer. When I confronted him for a few stuff, he just blah blah blah and repeating himself by making endless nonsense and not doing the job at all. Even if he does a job, not a good quality one."
