"David and his team exceeded expectations. The new deck is better quality than the original one and included rails around perimeter and pool area. They even put cement under the stairs that was missing from original deck. They came in on budget and on time. Very friendly, responsive and easy to work with. They cleaned up all construction materials and took away the old deck. I will ask them for other projects in the future."

"What we thought was just a rotted door sill turned out to be a much bigger problem. Rot had reached below the sill and into the foundation boards. Brian walked us through every step of the process and kept us in the loop if any surprises arose. He answered any and all questions we had, and we had a lot! Brian was also great at being transparent about supply costs. The decks he rebuilt are amazing and beyond solid! One of the most important things to us was his professionalism. We’ve had a number of contractors do work for us over the years that did below average work and a few that my wife did not feel comfortable around. The amount of pride and quality Brian put into our home is amazing and the fact that he was so respectful to us as people is the reason we will keep having him back. Absolute great guy and artist of the trade."

Standard rectangles and oval pools typically cost the least to build. Their straight lines simplify excavation, formwork, and decking, which means less labor and fewer surprise fees. Sticking with a conventional shape also speeds up permitting and keeps material waste to a minimum. If budget is your top priority, a rectangular or oval footprint delivers the best value without sacrificing swim space.
Installing a new in-ground vinyl liner costs $1,000 to $2,500 for labor and more than $4,000 once you add materials. While that may feel steep, the liner is what keeps your pool watertight and looking fresh. Expect to swap it out roughly every decade. A seasoned pool pro can recommend the right thickness and pattern, handle the tricky stretch-and-fit process, and make sure your pool is swim-ready in a day or two.
With the right upkeep, an in-ground pool is a long-term investment. Concrete shells regularly top 25 years—sometimes 50—provided you resurface them every decade. Fiberglass models often cruise past 30 years with little more than routine cleaning and balanced chemicals. Stay on top of inspections and small repairs, and your pool can outlast most backyard features, giving you decades of cannonballs and lap sessions.
In‑ground pool installation follows a defined schedule based on the pool material. Concrete pools require three to six months for full installation, vinyl pool projects complete in four to eight weeks, and fiberglass pools finish in as little as two to four weeks. These timeframes reflect rigorous planning and professional execution that guarantee quality results while keeping construction on schedule.
Following proper pool maintenance protocols ensures your pool remains in excellent condition. You must check chemical levels weekly, skim the water every day to remove debris, and vacuum the pool each week to maintain clarity. Covering the pool during the off‑season protects it from contaminants and minimizes energy costs. These proactive measures extend the lifespan of your pool and guarantee a safe, inviting swimming environment throughout the year.
