"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."

SSG, or South Shore Gunite Pools, is New England's largest pool builder. We offer building, renovation and maintenance services to residential and commercial clients throughout New England. Headquartered in North Billerica MA, we have been setting the standard for gunite construction and quality swimming pools since 1975. We are shockingly unique in the way that we build, eliminating the uncertainty of relying upon subcontractors and operating with fully in-house employees. This strategy allows us to take full responsibility for our client's projects.

"Hired this company for summer 2019 to open/close and clean weekly. In the month we used SSG, the pool was not cleaned properly once. 25 tiles were damaged mysteriously upon open, there were leaves and dirt left in the pool the entire time and we have not been able to use the pool yet. We expressed our disappointment and gave them more than enough chances to rectify things. They didn't. Pictures attached are from our pool and spa today - after the tech "cleaned" and left a bill for over $200. Absolutely horrible. Terminated contract."

Carpentry, Installations, and repairs of all kinds including kitchen remodels, bath remodels, decks, door and window repairs, tool sheds, raised garden beds, and more. 20+ years experience, dependable and fully insured, references available.

"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."

FAQs for swimming pool above ground build or installation projects in Gorham, ME

Stock tank pools last for 10 years or more with regular maintenance and repairs. The longevity depends largely on how well you care for the pool, including regular water testing, chemical balancing, and prompt attention to any developing issues. 

For metal tanks, managing rust is crucial—immediately addressing any scratches or damage to protective coatings helps extend the pool's useful life significantly.

Permit requirements vary by location. Many municipalities don't require permits for temporary structures under a certain water depth, but some areas have specific regulations for any water feature. 

If your stock tank pool includes electrical components like pumps or filters, additional permits might be necessary. Contacting your local building department before installation helps avoid potential fines or removal orders.

Yes, stock tank pools can be installed partially in the ground, though this approach requires careful consideration of drainage and structural support. For metal tanks especially, proper protection against ground moisture is essential to prevent accelerated rusting. The added complexity of a semi-buried installation may warrant professional assistance to ensure proper setup and longevity of your investment.

Preventing rust in metal stock tank pools requires proactive maintenance. Remove rust spots early using vinegar and a wire brush, followed by treatment with naval jelly or rust dissolver according to manufacturer instructions. After cleaning the area thoroughly, apply zinc-rich paint to create a protective barrier. Regular water chemistry testing and maintenance help prevent conditions that accelerate corrosion.
