When it comes to installing a pool, the right professionals can help you get the job done right. You want to find the pros who can offer you the best price, are reliable and are a good fit for your property and your budget.
Cost to Install a Pool
The cost of a pool installation depends on the materials you choose and the features you select for your new backyard oasis. In general, vinyl-lined pools tend to be the least expensive, but concrete ones have a higher lifetime cost.
Size and Shape ? Fiberglass Pools
Fiberglass pools are pre-constructed in a factory and then transported to your site. This means they have a limited number of sizes and shapes, which can make them difficult to match to your property’s exact dimensions or unique design.
They also must be delivered to your home by a truck, which can take a circuitous route. That can add to the time it takes to get your new swimming hole up and running.
Construction of Your Pool
Once the gunite or shotcrete is cured, your pool will be ready for its tile and rock. These elements will make your pool look like a natural swimming hole and provide a clean surface for keeping the water free of debris.
Next, your pool will be leveled and shaped using pressurized concrete. This is the most difficult and labor-intensive part of the pool building process, but once completed, your pool will be a work of art.
The sculpting of your new pool will take place over the course of three days. Our skilled craftsmen will use their experience to shape your new pool into your dream design.
After the gunite or shotcrete is complete, your new pool will be sprayed with water and then left to dry for two to three days. During this time, your new pool will be tucked under a cover to keep it from being damaged.
If your new pool will be an above ground type, a rebar anchor system will be installed to help the pool remain level. This system will also be used to secure the pool’s edges, so you can enjoy your new oasis without worrying about the fence slipping or falling in.
A sand or gravel finish is also applied to the surface of your new pool. This finish is designed to provide a durable surface that is resistant to stains, scratches and other wear-and-tear.
In the end, your pool will look like a work of art that’s sure to impress family and friends. It’s a great way to transform your backyard and give it a fresh, new look.
The process of pool installation can be stressful and time-consuming, but it’s worth the investment if you want to enjoy your new swimming spot for years to come. Whether you’re hiring an expert for the job or tackling it yourself, be sure to ask a few important questions so you don’t miss a step.
