Once we've received your contract and deposit, we'll contact you to coordinate a target installation date.

If you hope to be swimming by memorial day, your best chance is by beginning your preparations in March and getting on our list as early as possible.

We'd be happy to talk with you in February!

We begin working as soon as the weather cooperates. Unfortunately, weather doesn't always cooperate.

Weather does cause delays, but we do our best to accommodate all our customers.

We need a day with no rain, no heavy wind, and over 55º.

Make sure the pool is completely empty before we arrive.

A puddle in the bottom is fine. Several inches of water and wet leaves is not fine and will result in delays and extra cost.

Tip: Once you've pumped the out as much water as you can, it's safe to get in and slice or puncture the bottom of the old liner in several spots. This will allow the remaining water to seep into the ground below and will allow stray leaves to dry out.

First and most obviously, make sure you actually have the liner. If your dealer needs to special order the lilner, delays can happen.

Secondly, make sure we'll have access to the liner and all needed materials – not locked in a garage or shed.

Buying the right size liner – If you're not certain of the liner/pool size, ask for help. Pools are measured inside wall to inside wall. Ovals measure from longest points (length), and longest point (width). Dig down and find actual bottom of pool to measure height of wall for any beaded liner often a pic or 2 will help us identify pool size/type.

Slat-wall Johnny weismeuller and Ester Williams beaded liners need that type of liner for replacement. If not CERTAIN, please ask before you purchase liner.

We can't guarantee an old skimmer. We will NOT put an old skimmer on, even if it's "pretty new."

When you get your new liner, get a new skimmer along with it to avoid trouble.

If you choose to use your old skimmer, you'll have to put it on yourself. We don't want the call-back for the inevitable leaks.

• the pool completely emptied
• the new liner
• new through-wall skimmer and return assembly
• floor pad, wall foam and adhesive, and foam cove, if applicable.
• a working electrical outlet
• a working water spigot
• enough garden hose to reach the pool area
• full payment upon completion – cash, cashier, or bank check. Sorry, no credit cards.

Once the liner is installed, you'll want to fill it in stages to get the best result. Filling the pool too soon or too fast could damage the liner.

Immediately after installation, fill the pool with 12-18" of water, then stop.

Let the liner stretch into place for 24-72 hours. Warmer weather and sunlight will make the liner more pliable and will allow you to proceed sooner. Lower temperatures and overcast weather means you should give it a little more time.

Schedule water delivery trucks to fill the pool after the 24-72 hour waiting/stretching period.
