"Lou, Andrew and Lordes were amazing people to work with. We would highly recommend Ranieri Construction to anyone needing pool or decking work. We feel our pool is all set now...better than new!!!! Everyone remarks how nice it looks. Ranieri Construction went above board to meet our needs. They were prompt, always here when they said they would be and continually kept us in the loop of what they were doing and why they were doing it."

"We are very pleased with our new tile flooring, Wellington was responsive and very nice to work with, he showed up when promised and finished the job in a timely manner. He even went above and beyond and helped out with some basement remodeling/carpentry. We would hire him and his team again!"

"Joe was fantastic. We bought a new lantern+post for front yard but installing it wasn't cut and dried because the old lamp post was shorter so the wiring had to be extended, and the previous post was only in the ground 1 foot deep while the new one, since taller/larger, needed to be 3 feet down. We also wanted a junction box/outlet mounted on the base of the post for holiday lights. We were in a hurry because of company coming...and were about to be out of town for a week making our window even smaller. Joe called me back the day I called him. Over the phone I explained what we needed, sent him pix from my phone of the lantern, post, install kit, etc. He told me about how much it would be. Told me to go on vacation, leave the post etc on our back stoop, the inside switch to that circuit off, and when we arrived home, it would be up and running. And it was! Straight and sturdy and he even painted it to match the trim on our house w/o me asking for that! The day after we got home we realized we wanted the old broken timer to work and a different switch inside so I called. He and his co-worker were here that day and the work was done by 3 PM. That also wasn't simple because the circuit it was on had not been done properly in a previous DIY project so that was re-wired. His willingness to fit us in between bigger jobs was super helpful. The work was done well and for a very reasonable price based on other work we've had done. He's our guy now! Thanks, Joe and Mike."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

You can place a pool alarm on the surface of the water or mounter underwater with motion detectors. Alarms placed on the surface will alert you if it detects wave movement. If mounted below the surface, known as "sub-surface,” the alarm detects changes in water pressure.

The total time to install an inground pool typically ranges from 8 weeks to 4 months. This timeline can be influenced by several factors, including permitting, site preparation, and the construction process itself.

Key phases and their typical durations include:

  • Permits: Obtaining necessary permits can take anywhere from two to six weeks.

  • Excavation and Site Preparation: This phase takes about a week but can be extended by problematic soil, unexpected ground conditions, or the need to move underground utility lines.

  • Construction: The actual build, including plumbing and electrical work, often takes one to two months. The pool material is a major factor here; a concrete pool needs about 30 days to cure, while installing a fiberglass or vinyl liner is much faster.

External factors can also cause significant delays:

  • Contractor Availability: Spring and summer are busy seasons, and high demand can lead to long waitlists, potentially adding months to your start date. It is often recommended to start planning and getting estimates up to a year in advance.

  • Other Delays: Weather, material shortages, complex designs, and other unforeseen challenges can extend the project timeline.

While salt water pools are slightly more expensive to install and run, they offer a better experience with less irritation to the skin, eyes, and even hair. Salt water is also less harsh on swimsuits and pool accessories. As a result, some homeowners feel the extra expense is worth it.

In combination with adequate filtering and water chemical balance, vacuuming will keep your pool from being overrun with algae. If your pool is experiencing algae growth, the same combination will get rid of it with a bit of patience. Heavy algae growth may require the use of an algaecide, and in some cases, you’ll want to vacuum the pool 24 to 48 hours after using algaecide to remove dead algae debris.

Generally speaking, you should expect to wait 24 to 48 hours after filling a pool before you use it. However, the actual timeline depends on a few factors. Most importantly, you need to shock the water with chlorine or an alternative to swimming pool chlorine and let the concentration come down to a safe level before using the pool. Additionally, most water sources will be cold, and it can take days before the sun or your pool heater warms your water to a comfortable temperature. Alternatively, getting water professionally delivered could have you swimming in just a few hours.
