You get a pool that doesn’t crack in two years because someone cut corners on excavation. You get a backyard where your family actually wants to spend time instead of driving to the beach or sitting inside all summer.
The permit process gets handled completely. Building, electrical, plumbing – all of it goes through Nassau and Suffolk County without you making a single call. Your soil gets assessed properly whether it’s sandy and shifting or clay that won’t drain, and the drainage system gets installed to actually work with Long Island’s requirements.
Your property value goes up 8-15% according to the National Association of Realtors. More importantly, you get a space that changes how your family spends their time. More bonding, more activity, less screen time. The pool patio masonry, coping, and tile work all get done by the same crew, so everything matches and nothing gets delayed waiting on another contractor.
We’ve served Selden and the surrounding Suffolk County area for nearly two decades. We’re not a franchise or a crew that shows up from three states away. We know Long Island soil, we know the permit offices, and we know what actually works here.
Our crews handle everything from excavation through final landscaping. You’re not coordinating five different companies or wondering who’s responsible when something goes wrong. One team, one point of contact, one company that shows up when we say we will.
Selden homeowners deal with specific challenges – setback requirements, zoning compliance, soil conditions that vary block by block. We’ve worked through all of it. Your neighbors have pools we built. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve maintained an A+ BBB rating for six consecutive years because we do what we say we’re going to do.
You call us for a free estimate. We come out, look at your property, talk about what you want, and give you a written quote. If you want to move forward, we handle the permits – that usually takes 2-3 weeks with Nassau and Suffolk County requirements.
Once permits clear, excavation starts. Our crews assess your specific soil conditions and dig accordingly. Sandy soil gets treated differently than clay. If we hit groundwater or rock, we deal with it. The hole gets dug, drainage systems go in, and we prep for the pool structure.
Next comes the actual pool installation. Gunite, fiberglass, or vinyl liner – whatever you chose. Plumbing and electrical get installed by licensed professionals. Then we move to the masonry work: coping, tile, patio surfaces, any retaining walls or grading work your property needs.
Most custom in-ground pools in Selden take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion. You get regular updates throughout, not radio silence until we’re done. Final inspection happens, everything gets approved, and you get a pool that’s ready to use.
Ready to get started?
You get complete design services first. We map out the pool, the surrounding masonry, and how everything fits with your property’s existing layout and Selden’s zoning requirements. All necessary permits get pulled and processed – building, electrical, plumbing.
Professional excavation comes next, with crews who know how to handle Long Island’s soil conditions. Drainage systems get installed properly so you’re not dealing with water problems later. The pool structure goes in with your choice of construction type: gunite for custom shapes and luxury builds, fiberglass for faster installation, or steel vinyl liner for budget-conscious projects.
All plumbing and electrical installation gets handled by licensed professionals. Then the masonry work: custom pool coping and tile, concrete pool surrounds or paver patios, any pool retaining walls your property needs. We handle the complete backyard poolscape in Suffolk County, not just the hole in the ground.
Final landscaping and grading ensure proper water flow away from your pool and house. You get a finished space that’s ready to use, not a construction zone you need to figure out how to complete yourself.
Most custom in-ground pools in Selden take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion. That timeline assumes normal weather and no major unexpected issues like hitting bedrock or extensive groundwater.
The permit process happens before excavation starts and usually takes 2-3 weeks. Nassau and Suffolk County both require building permits, electrical permits, and plumbing permits. We handle all of that so you’re not making calls to different departments.
Actual construction time varies based on pool type and complexity. A basic vinyl liner pool installs faster than a custom gunite pool with extensive masonry work. Weather delays happen – you can’t pour concrete in freezing temperatures or work in heavy rain. But 6-8 weeks is realistic for most projects in Suffolk County when you’re working with professionals who show up consistently.
About 70% of pools on Long Island use sand bottom construction, which works well with our soil conditions. Gunite pools are more expensive now and mostly reserved for luxury builds or properties where you need custom shapes and features.
Fiberglass pools install faster and work well for straightforward rectangular or kidney-shaped designs. The shell arrives pre-made, gets set in the excavated hole, and you’re dealing with a shorter construction timeline. Vinyl liner pools with steel walls offer the most budget-friendly option and still give you decades of use with proper maintenance.
Your specific property matters more than general recommendations. Sandy soil that shifts requires different considerations than clay that doesn’t drain. Setback requirements in Selden might limit your size or placement options. We assess your actual property conditions and recommend what makes sense for your space, your budget, and how you plan to use the pool.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and approvals for your in-ground pool in Suffolk County. That includes the building permit, electrical permit, and plumbing permit that Nassau and Suffolk County require.
The process typically takes 2-3 weeks once we submit everything. Some towns have additional requirements beyond county regulations, and we know what each municipality needs. Selden has specific setback requirements and zoning rules that affect pool placement and size.
You don’t make any calls to permit offices or deal with inspectors directly unless you want to. We schedule inspections, meet the inspectors on site, and handle any questions or issues that come up. If something needs revision or additional documentation, we take care of it. The permit process is one of the biggest headaches homeowners face with pool installation, and it’s completely off your plate when you work with us.
Most residential in-ground pools in Selden run between $30,000 and $70,000 depending on size, construction type, and how much masonry work you’re doing around the pool. That’s the realistic range for a complete installation, not just the pool shell.
Vinyl liner pools start at the lower end of that range. Fiberglass pools typically run mid-range. Custom gunite pools with extensive tile work, custom coping, and elaborate patio masonry hit the higher end. Your property’s soil conditions also affect cost – if we hit rock or need extensive drainage work, that adds to the project.
We provide written estimates after looking at your specific property. We’ll beat any written estimate you get from another licensed, insured contractor. The goal isn’t to be the cheapest – it’s to give you a pool that doesn’t crack, leak, or cause problems three years from now because someone cut corners on excavation or drainage.
We deal with it. Long Island soil varies significantly even within Selden – you can have sandy soil on one property and hit clay or rock two houses down. Our crews have handled every soil condition Suffolk County can throw at us.
If we hit rock during excavation, we bring in the equipment needed to break through it or adjust the pool depth if that makes more sense for your property. If we encounter groundwater, we install proper drainage systems to manage it. You can’t just ignore groundwater and hope it goes away – it needs to be addressed or you’ll have ongoing problems with your pool structure.
These situations get discussed with you before we proceed. If it’s going to add significant cost to your project, you know about it upfront. Most properties in Selden don’t have major surprises, but when they happen, you’re working with a crew that knows how to handle them properly instead of walking off the job or doing substandard work to avoid the problem.
Yes, and that’s actually the better way to do it. When the same company handles your pool installation and all the surrounding masonry work, everything gets coordinated properly and you’re not waiting on multiple contractors to show up.
We handle custom pool coping and tile, concrete pool surrounds, paver patios, and any pool retaining walls or grading work your property needs. The masonry work happens as part of the overall pool installation timeline, not as a separate project you need to schedule months later.
This matters more than most homeowners realize. Your pool patio masonry in Suffolk County needs to account for proper drainage, appropriate slope away from the pool, and integration with your existing landscape. When one crew handles everything, you get a complete backyard poolscape that works together instead of a pool surrounded by dirt because the masonry contractor can’t start for another six weeks.
