If you're thinking about building an inground swimming pool, it's important to consider the timeline so you can fully enjoy it during the hot Texas weather. Keep in mind that the time it takes to build a pool will vary based on factors like shape, size, and other features you may want added. At Pool Stop, we stand out from other Dallas pool constructors with an average build time of only 6 to 8 weeks from excavation. Additionally, we consistently finish our projects ahead of schedule, so you'll be able to start enjoying your pool sooner than you would expect.

The Design Process

The duration of the swimming pool design process is entirely up to you! Our Rockwall store has designed pools with customers in as little as 90 minutes. All it takes is for you to submit a request for a free quote, and we can get you into the store to start designing. We take great care in explaining all the options available, based on the budget you provide, ensuring that you can design your dream pool while staying within your budget. This is a crucial step, as it ensures that our team and customers are on the same page regarding the pool's direction. Once you have selected all the necessary features and design elements, we will create a 3D rendering of your newly designed swimming pool, allowing you to visualize precisely what to expect. Once you are happy with the design of your new inground swimming pool, we will discuss permits and financing options.

Permit and Financing

The timeline for acquiring permits to build a pool can vary depending on the residential area. Typically, it takes between 2 to 6 weeks to obtain permits. If you plan to finance your pool with a loan, this is a good time to contact your bank for assistance. Financing your pool can be beneficial to many of our customers since it makes purchasing an inground swimming pool more affordable by spreading out the cost over time through manageable monthly payments. We will discuss financing options with you during our meeting to provide additional support if this is something you are interested in. It is important to note, however, that the loan application and approval process may differ depending on the bank, which could have an effect on the timeline of your pool construction.

Construction

After finalizing the design and securing the necessary permits and loans, we can commence constructing your dream pool. Our first task is excavation, which involves preparing the ground for the pool's installation. Our construction timeline, following excavation, generally takes 6 to 8 weeks, which is faster than most pool builders in the DFW area. After excavation, we dedicate our attention to plumbing and electrical work. The subsequent steps involve applying gunite and plaster, which can take up to 3 weeks, depending on the pool's size and shape. Finally, we add landscaping, water features, lighting, and other finishing touches, making your pool ready to swim in!

Our Buildertrend tool is the highlight of the construction process! Once you sign up, you will receive real-time updates on the status and progress of your pool construction. These updates include photos, a timeline, and the ability to track progress from anywhere. The tool is also helpful because all employees have access to your account to answer any questions you may have, even if your designer is not available in-store.
