Pools & Spas

Building an inground pool is a huge investment. It’s important to understand the various construction phases involved and how long each one typically takes. This will help you plan for the project and ensure that there are no surprises along the way.

The first phase of inground pool construction is excavating the site. This is where the hole for the pool is dug. The depth of the excavation will depend on the type of pool being built.

The next phase involves installing the steel rebar and shooting the gunite concrete that will form the pool walls and floor. Once this step is complete, it’s time to install the plumbing and electrical. This is a critical phase of the project, as it ensures that the pool will have proper water circulation and filtration. It also ensures that the pool lights and other electrical features will be properly installed.

The final phase of construction is installing the decking and finishing touches like the pool interior. Once this is installed, the pool is filled with water. Finishing work like tile & coping work are also completed during this phase.

Once all of the construction phases are complete, you’ll finally be able to enjoy your new inground pool! Just remember to budget for regular maintenance and repairs, as they will be necessary to keep your pool in good condition.

In Rockwall, TX most inground pools typically start at around the $65,000 range and move up from there depending on the features, options and amenities you choose for your pool installation. Factors such as slope, yard access, the size and shape of your pool design will also factor in the equation. Premium materials and add-on features such as a spa or water features can also impact the overall cost of your pool project. It’s important to get an accurate pool estimate when doing your homework on how much pools really cost.

Most in-ground swimming pools can be built within 6-8 weeks. Extenuating circumstances for a delayed construction schedule can be: delays with permitting, delays getting materials, waiting for construction phases related outside the scope of building the pool. To get an accurate timeline for pool construction and an approximate deadline for your pool build, it’s important to consultant with a representative that can best inform you on how long your pool will actually take to build.

The best time of year to build a swimming pool is typically in the fall or winter. During the “off-season” there is decreased demand. Most of the swimming pools we will build during the year are sold and constructed during the summer and scheduled for a fall or winter build. So to answer your question, the best time of year to buy a pool is in the spring or the summer and the best time of year to build is in the fall or the winter. This will ensure that your pool is built in time to use the following summer!

Although more expensive to construct, they offer a number of benefits that make them worth the investment. Inground pools can be customized to fit your specific needs, and they offer a number of features that above ground pools simply can’t match.

Second, an inground pool will help increase the value of your home where as an above-ground pool will not. Finally, inground pools offer a greater degree of customization.
