Custom Inground Pool Construction

Transform Your Backyard Into Paradise

You’ve been thinking about it for months. Maybe years. That empty space in your backyard where you picture summer evenings, kids splashing, friends gathering around the water.

A professionally installed inground pool changes everything. Not just the look of your property, but how you actually live on it. Weekend mornings become pool maintenance instead of yard work you’ve been putting off. Summer afternoons shift from finding somewhere to cool off to having the perfect spot right outside your door.

The right pool installation means you’re not just adding water to your yard. You’re creating the space where your family makes memories, where you finally have that entertaining area you’ve always wanted, and where your property value gets the boost that makes the investment worthwhile.

Pool Installation Process

Here's How Your Pool Gets Built

First, we come out to look at your space and talk through what you’re actually trying to accomplish. Not just pool size and shape, but how you want to use it, what your property can handle, and what makes sense for your budget.

Next comes the design phase where we map out exactly what’s going where, handle all the permit applications, and make sure everything’s approved before we break ground. No surprises, no delays because someone forgot to file the right paperwork.

Then we start construction. Excavation, plumbing, electrical, structural work, and finishing. We coordinate everything so you’re not dealing with five different contractors showing up whenever they feel like it. One project manager, one timeline, one point of contact.

Once everything’s installed and inspected, we walk you through how everything works, hand over all your documentation, and make sure you’re comfortable with maintenance before we consider the job done.

Everything You Need, Start to Finish

Your pool installation includes complete excavation, plumbing, electrical work, and structural construction. We handle all permitting and inspections so you don’t have to figure out what Bar Harbor requires or when inspectors need to show up.

How long does pool installation take in Bar Harbor?

Most inground pool installations take 4-6 weeks from start to finish, but Bar Harbor’s permitting process adds time upfront. We typically need 2-3 weeks for permits and approvals before construction begins. Weather can extend timelines during spring and fall, which is why most customers schedule installation for late spring through early fall. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation based on your specific project and when you want to start.

What permits do I need for pool installation in Bar Harbor?

Bar Harbor requires building permits for all inground pool installations, plus separate electrical permits for pool lighting and equipment. If your pool is within certain distances of property lines or septic systems, you’ll need additional approvals. Some neighborhoods have HOA requirements on top of town permits. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections so you don’t have to navigate the process yourself or worry about missing required approvals.

How much does inground pool installation cost?

Inground pool installation in Bar Harbor typically ranges from $40,000 to $80,000 depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start lower, while custom shapes, premium finishes, and additional features like heating or automation increase costs. Site challenges like difficult access, rocky soil, or drainage issues can affect pricing. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific property and requirements so you know exactly what you’re investing in.

Can pools handle Bar Harbor winters?

Absolutely, when they’re built correctly. Proper winterization is essential in our climate, which means draining water below freeze lines, protecting equipment, and using pool covers designed for snow loads. We install pools with frost-resistant materials and design plumbing systems that can be properly winterized each season. Most pool owners close their pools in October and reopen in May, though heated pools can extend the season significantly.

What's included in pool installation?

Complete pool installation includes excavation, structural construction, plumbing, electrical work, equipment installation, and finishing. We handle permits, inspections, and coordinate all trades so you’re working with one contractor instead of managing multiple companies. Pool equipment includes filtration, circulation pumps, and basic lighting. Additional features like heating, automation, special lighting, or water features are available but priced separately based on what you want included.

Do you install pools on sloped or difficult properties?

Yes, we regularly work with challenging sites including sloped yards, limited access areas, and properties with existing landscaping or structures. Sloped sites often require retaining walls or grading work, which we include in project planning. Difficult access might mean smaller equipment or hand-digging in certain areas, but we’ve handled plenty of Bar Harbor properties where getting equipment to the backyard requires creative solutions. We evaluate site challenges during initial consultation and factor any additional requirements into your project estimate.
