FAQ

Installation Questions

How long does a pool installation take?
Fiberglass pool installations typically take 2-4 weeks from excavation to swim day. Gunite (concrete) pools take 8-12 weeks depending on complexity, weather, and permitting. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
What is the difference between fiberglass and gunite pools?
Fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured shells that are set into the ground — they install faster, require less maintenance, and have a smooth gel-coat finish. Gunite pools are built on-site with a concrete and rebar structure, allowing for fully custom shapes and sizes. Both are excellent choices; we help you pick the right one for your property and budget.
How much does a new pool cost in Columbus, Ohio?
Pool costs vary based on size, type, features, and site conditions. Fiberglass pools typically range from $45,000 to $85,000 installed. Gunite pools range from $60,000 to $120,000+. We provide transparent, itemized quotes during your free consultation — no hidden fees.
Do I need a permit to build a pool in Columbus?
Yes, a building permit is required for pool construction in Columbus and most Central Ohio municipalities. We handle the entire permitting process for you, including site plans, fence compliance, and inspections.
What about my yard after construction?
We take care to minimize disruption and restore your yard after construction. Basic grading and soil restoration are included. We can also coordinate full landscaping services through our trusted partners for a complete backyard transformation.
Do you offer financing for pool installations?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options to make your dream pool affordable. Visit our financing page or ask during your consultation for details on available plans and monthly payment options.
What warranty comes with a new pool?
Fiberglass pools include the manufacturer's structural and gel-coat warranty (typically 25 years structural, 10 years surface). Gunite pools carry our workmanship warranty. All equipment comes with manufacturer warranties. We review full warranty details during the design phase.
