"Brennan is incredibly transparent, detail-oriented, and well-informed. He works really, really hard. For clarity: he installed a bulkhead for us, and this service alone was a little hard to for us to find. He gave us 2 options, both with VERY competitive quotes, and even threw in sealing up some basement leaks for free. He stayed true to his estimates. In all, amazing value and a guy that is serious about having a good relationship with the customer. I would say that customers should be patient, because it's basically Brennan and 2-3 younger kids. For us, the bulkhead was supposed to be a 1.5 day job, but it took longer than that because of summer vacations, uncooperative weather (lots of rain this year), and illnesses. Losing one guy on one job cascaded to other jobs. Hopefully his small business can grow to a point where this is less of a problem in the future."

"Once again, Ranieri Construction has gone above and beyond our expectations! We needed to have our inground pool patched and painted, and may I say Andrew (and Lou) did an outstanding job. My husband usually spends time (and $) at the beginning of the season making sure the water stays clean and clear. But patching up all the spots, and then painting the entire pool ensured the pool was so much easier to clean and keep clear on day 1. The improvements also made it easier to maintain the water balance and keep clean. Please consider these folks- they are prompt, detail oriented and very efficient. Feel free to get in touch with us if you want to hear more"

"Mr. Downey has arranged for several of my apartments to have the floors refinished. Every time the results are very impressive and the price is surprisingly low compared to other bids. I strongly recommend Joe Downey for all the services I mentioned above."

"I've owned an inground pool for 11 years. I've been through several pool contractors and companies. I'm done looking for one now. Jim is honest, upfront, and involved in all service from start to finish. I couldn't recommend them more."

"Nesto did a great job installing an above ground pool for me in the Fall of 2015. From excavation to final assembly, all went as planned. I couldn't be happier. Nesto is also a really cool guy, I highly recommend his services!"

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

It is generally not recommended to place a pool directly on grass. Doing so will kill the grass underneath, and the surrounding lawn may also be damaged by heavy foot traffic and splashes of chemically-treated water. For best results, create a clean, level surface by removing the grass and debris. You can then install a sturdier base using materials like sand, a concrete pad, or solid foam.

Completely refreshing the water in an aboveground pool every five to seven years helps keep it free of bacteria and algae. Emptying the pool also allows you to clean, repair, or replace the pool liner. Schedule your water change when the weather is mild, as intense heat or cold can damage the pool liner when the pool is empty.

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.

No, pool jets should not have air coming out. While it’s a common problem, making it seem like air coming out is the norm, bubbling pool jets are a sign of loose bearings or fittings, or low water levels. You should get to the bottom of your jets releasing air bubbles because it could be a sign that there’s air entering the pump, which can shorten the lifespan of your pump or lead to costly repairs.

While you should avoid draining an above ground pool on a regular basis, it may be necessary if you are experiencing common signs of major pool problems. When you fully drain your pool, do so slowly with the proper equipment and always avoid draining on a very hot day. In many cases, the pool liner and equipment depend on the cooling effect of the water.
