"My contractor, Todd, was beyond excellent! He was extremely professional and helpful! His maneurism was very pleasant, and I enjoyed working with him on what needed to be done at my house! Todd put my mind at ease because I was extremely upset with the job that was done from a previous contractor. Todd was able to fix their mistakes, and he did it in a very prompt and courteous way. I feel that Todd went above and beyond for me. He did research on handicap ramps and found an economical and great handicap ramp. He traveled to pick it up and put it in for me. Not to mention all the great work that he had to undo from the awful job my previous contractor did. With all the work that Todd did, I found him extremely financially reasonable and economical! I will be hiring Todd to do more projects around my house! I fully recommend Todd to anybody. I have extreme confidence and faith in his abilities Todd has great work ethics and is a pleasure to work with! I look forward to working with him on my future projects around my house!"

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

There are pros and cons of in-ground vs. above-ground pools, which you should consider when choosing the pool of your summertime dreams. Some factors to think about include: 

  • Above-ground pools are semi-permanent and movable, whereas in-ground pools are permanent structures.

  • In-ground pools are more expensive to install than above-ground pools. 

  • It takes one to three days to install above-ground pools and several weeks for an in-ground pool install.

  • You can install an above-ground pool in smaller yards, but you need plenty of space for an in-ground pool.

It’s best to avoid having wrinkles in a new pool liner. Since pool liners are very thin, it’s easy to have slight wrinkles in the liner upon initial installation. This might negatively affect your pool’s visual appearance and lead to tearing and holes in some cases. You’ll want to ensure proper measurements and accurate alignment during the installation process to prevent unsightly wrinkles from appearing.

The type of sand you need for your sand filter depends on the manufacturer’s instructions, but you’ll need to use sand specifically for pool filters. Silica sand is a wallet-friendly, common choice that’s relatively easy to replace. You’ll choose between various grades of sand and different-sized sand grains.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

You cannot DIY a gunite pool—unless, of course, you’re a homeowner who happens to also be a professional pool installer. And even pros need to have experience with gunite pools, in particular, before installing one. Only a skilled gunite pool technician can install this type of pool—it’s not a project you can do yourself.
