Building and owning a pool should feel clear, not confusing. Here are straightforward answers to the questions homeowners ask most.
How long does pool installation take in Minnesota?
Most MyPool builds are dig‑to‑swim in about 2–3 weeks once work begins, depending on weather, inspections, access, and the scope of your patio and yard work.
What’s included in your pre‑construction planning?
We plan utilities, equipment placement, access routes, grading and drainage, and the details that affect daily ownership—so your build runs cleaner and the finished yard works better.
Do you help with pool shape, depth, and add‑ons?
Yes. We guide you through shape, entry steps, tanning ledges, benches, lights, automation, heating, and cover options so the design fits how your family will actually use the pool.
How do you handle grading and drainage?
We evaluate how water moves across your yard and tie the pool, patio, and surrounding grades together. The goal is a finished yard that drains properly and looks intentional.
What pool equipment do you recommend?
We build around reliable, serviceable equipment—variable‑speed pumps, efficient filtration, simple automation, and heater options sized for Minnesota use. We’ll recommend the best-fit setup for your pool and budget.
Do you install heaters or plan for future heating?
Yes. We can install heaters and we also plan gas/electrical and equipment space so upgrades later are straightforward.
Do you offer weekly pool maintenance?
Yes. Our weekly maintenance keeps water balanced, surfaces cared for, and equipment monitored so your pool stays clear and dependable all season. Not sure about committing to the full season? Start with a week or month to make sure we’re the right fit. Subject to route availability.
Can you take over service for a pool you didn’t build?
Absolutely. We service and troubleshoot existing pools, and we can recommend upgrades that improve reliability and ease of ownership.
What kinds of repairs and renovations do you do?
We handle equipment upgrades, liner replacements, automatic covers, and select renovation work that fits our service schedule. Larger structural projects are evaluated case-by-case based on scope and availability.
Do you replace liners?
Yes. We handle liner replacement with proper measuring, fit, and finish details, plus recommendations to improve comfort, durability, and appearance.
Do you install automatic safety covers?
Yes. We’ll help you choose the right cover approach for your pool and patio design and plan the integration early so it looks clean and works reliably.
What affects the total project cost?
Shape/size, site access, patio scope, drainage/grading needs, equipment selections, heating, lighting, covers, and any yard upgrades all influence cost. We’ll break it down clearly.
When should I start the process if I want a pool next season?
Earlier is better. Design, selections, permits, and scheduling take time—starting in fall or winter can put you in a great position for a spring start.
Do you provide a written scope and expectations?
Yes. We believe clarity prevents headaches. You’ll get a defined plan, key decisions up front, and a clear understanding of what happens next.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the Twin Cities metro, surrounding Minnesota communities, and Western Wisconsin. If you’re nearby and unsure, reach out—we’ll confirm quickly.
