How long does pool installation take?

  • Above-ground pools typically take 1–3 days, depending on site prep and weather.
  • In-ground pools usually take 2–4 weeks, including excavation, base work, and liner installation.


We’ll provide a detailed timeline and quote during your consultation.

Do you help with permitting or code compliance?
