"Caleb has been cleaning my pool every week, year round, for nine years. He does great work. My pool is clean and balanced. He knows what he is doing. The cost for my pool is $125.00 per month. He provides the chemicals so I don't even have to bother with that stuff. If you don't want to clean your pool, then you want him to. You need to call him."

"My pool pump was making a terrible grinding noise and then just suddenly stopped working. Of course I had people coming that weekend and did not know what to do. I called 2 other companies that never bothered to show up, so Friday morning I called Advanced and they came out around lunch time and was able to install a new motor for me right away. Then they went ahead and clean the pool and added chemicals for me as well. I was really inpressed with how easy they were to talk to. The lady I spoke to on the phone was friendly and very personable. The person who came out to help me was so nice as well. I am definately using them again, in fact, they are starrting pool service for me this week. And right in time for the 4th holiday."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you will need building permits for an inground pool, and your pool installation company should pull them for you. The permit filing fee will usually sit between $400 and $1,800, and it should appear on your contract or invoice. You may want to confirm with your contractor that they will pull all necessary permits. You might also need a permit for a new fence, as many municipalities have special fencing requirements for properties with pools. A fence permit costs between $50 and $500. This expense may not be included in your pool installation estimate.

The steps to fill a swimming pool will depend on your local building codes. However, it starts with draining the pool of all water using a submersible pump. Then your pro will lift the pool shell from the ground or break it into pieces for individual removal. The next step is filling the cavity with dirt and gravel and topping it with topsoil. Once a structural engineer deems the site safe, landscaping can start.

Yes, they provide full-service inspections, identifying and resolving any potential equipment problems.

Sometimes, homeowners choose to install their pool on concrete, foam tiles, or patio pavers. Leveled dirt is also fine, as long as it’s not sod or grass. Regardless, you’ll need to install sand as a buffer to prevent your liner from tearing. Some pool installers also use a protective foam pool pad.

The regulations for pool fence heights vary by state, so be sure to research what the legal, minimum height is in your area before purchasing or installing a fence. Though every region is different, generally a pool fence must be at least 4 and ½ feet high. If you’re unsure whether you need a fence around your pool, and how high that fence should be, contact a local pool enclosure expert to help you successfully, and safely, move forward.
