"We had an outstanding experience with Chris and his team. They removed an old waterfall feature from our fiberglass pool that was constructed around 20 years ago. They removed existing brick coping and ceramic tile, and we replaced the coping with concrete coping, and added new glass tile. They also installed a new light (old one never worked for us) and a salt system. Chris listened carefully to our needs and delivered exactly what we were hoping for!! It looks new and we can’t wait for the warm weather to return!"

"Preston did an absolutely stellar job on our pool. When it was revealed, after removing the old liner, that the pool needed repairs, he completed the task thoroughly and in a timely fashion. I have complete confidence in him and his work. Everyone at First Choice Contracting is professional, personable and very accommodating. I would highly recommend them and will use them for future projects."

"Tim at Shark Pool Care is the absolute best! After years of dealing with other pool companies that felt like scams were expensive, incompetent, and constantly leaving my pool cloudy or something broken ! I finally found someone I can trust. Since switching to Shark Pool Care, my pool has been sparkling blue every week. The water stays crystal clear between visits, and the walls never turn yellow. Tim is honest, reliable, and personable. I don’t feel like just another customer, I feel like a friend. This summer, he turned my pool from swamp green to sparkling blue in just two days, exactly as he promised (I doubted it at first based on my past experiences, but he delivered!). My equipment is running perfectly, nothing is breaking, and there are no hidden charges or constant “surprise” repairs like I had with past companies. After trying three different services in the last three years, Shark Pool Care is now my permanent pool company. No games, no stress just a beautiful pool!"

"Gary did an excellent job leveling out humps in my hard and filling in holes that were created from rotted stumps. He is very knowledgeable in what was needed to get the results I was looking for. When he was through with my yard I was the happiest person ever. My yard looked better than I imagined. Gary went above & beyond my expectations. I was very appreciative! I would highly recommend his services."

"My electrician was TJ and he did an amazing job. First up was installing a new heavy chandelier in the dining room. He determined the junction box wouldn't hold the weight of the new chandelier and installed one that would. Chandelier install went great. He moved forward to installing electrical two wall sconces in the dining room. Going into this project I was fulling expecting the whole wall to require drywall repair. In the end, I have one small, very neat, hole in the kitchen that will need repair. The chandelier had two single wall switches in the dining room. He placed a dimmer on one switch and on the second he changed it out to two switches. One for the chandelier and one for the two wall sconces. This exceeded my expectations for the room. He wrapped up the day by installing a new bar light fixture of the vanity. TJ is a thoughtful and talented electrician. I'm more than pleased with the work performed and would recommend Fairway Electric."

"They ordered and delivered the wrong style metal roof which did not use clip fasteners but rather screwed directly to roof. This will not allow expansion of metal roof. Also, the installation crew left 1” gaps on the edges of the ridge cap between each standing seam. This will potentially allow wind blown driving rain to enter my house."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

Look for visible cracking in the shell or deck, which indicates the original pool construction and installation did not account for NC soil expansion. Uneven concrete slabs or water pooling toward the structure signal improper grading. Persistent air leaks or pressure loss point to tree root intrusion in the underground plumbing. Additionally, check for bulging walls or a floating shell caused by hydrostatic pressure from high water tables.

Helpful?

Before beginning pool construction and installation, contact the local planning department to confirm your zoning setbacks. Submit a design application to your HOA early to secure approval. Schedule a mandatory utility locate to identify underground lines before excavation starts. Conduct a soil assessment to determine if your Cornelius property requires engineered backfill. Finally, verify your flood zone status and submit a complete building permit application to keep the project on track.

Helpful?

Grouping outdoor projects with pool construction and installation streamlines the permitting and HOA approval process in Cornelius. Combining these upgrades allows you to share utility trenches for irrigation or lighting, minimizing ground disturbance. Submitting a comprehensive plan for outdoor kitchens or retaining walls at the same time ensures concurrent reviews. Schedule the combined work during the favorable spring or fall excavation seasons to avoid scheduling multiple contractor visits.

Helpful?

Following pool construction and installation, prepare for heavy spring pollen by cleaning filters frequently. Test the water chemistry regularly to manage the specific mineral content from the local water supply. During humid NC summers, brush the walls consistently and apply algaecide to prevent growth. Remove debris promptly after summer thunderstorms and check the deck drainage. Finally, winterize the equipment properly to protect plumbing from freezing temperatures.

Helpful?

Assess your yard's soil composition, as the clay-heavy soil in Cornelius requires proper drainage preparation before starting pool construction and installation. Check your property's zoning classification for specific setback requirements. Properties near Lake Norman face high water tables or sit in flood zones, requiring specialized engineering. Finally, inspect your lot for mature trees, as large roots damage underground plumbing over time.
