Pool Installation Process

Here’s What to Expect with Summer Waves Pools

Installing a pool is a big decision—and at Summer Waves Pools, we make sure it’s the best one you’ve ever made. Our streamlined, transparent installation process is designed to minimize stress and maximize results. With decades of experience and a reputation for doing things right, we take pride in delivering high-quality fiberglass pools with care, clarity, and craftsmanship.

Consultation & Site Evaluation

We start with a free, no-obligation consultation to understand your goals, assess your property, and determine what pool shape and size best fits your space and lifestyle. We’ll also review local code requirements and address any site-specific challenges.

Pool Design & Planning

Once we’ve gathered the details, we help you select the perfect Barrier Reef fiberglass pool model and any add-ons like tanning ledges, spas, lighting, or fountains. We’ll prepare a detailed proposal outlining costs, timelines, and everything you need to know.

Permitting & Scheduling

We take care of all the necessary permitting with your local municipality to ensure your pool is 100% code-compliant. While that’s processing, we schedule your installation and prep for excavation.

Excavation & Base Prep

Our experienced crew prepares the site by excavating the exact shape of your pool and laying a stable foundation—usually a bed of gravel—for proper drainage and structural support.

Pool Delivery & Placement

Your fiberglass pool shell is delivered directly to your home and carefully lowered into the ground using specialized equipment. We ensure it’s perfectly level and secure before moving to the next stage.

Backfilling, Plumbing & Electrical

We install all plumbing, filtration, and electrical systems with precision. As we fill the pool with water, we simultaneously backfill to maintain structural integrity and avoid shifting.

Decking & Finishing Touches

Once the pool is set and functional, we complete the surrounding patio or deck area. Whether you choose concrete, pavers, or custom hardscaping, we ensure the finish complements your pool and backyard style.

Final Inspection & Walkthrough

After everything is installed and cleaned, we perform a final inspection to ensure all systems function properly and meet local regulations. We then walk you through the features, maintenance basics, and how to enjoy your new pool safely.

Jump In & Enjoy!

Your dream pool is now a reality! We remain available for questions, service, and support so you can relax and enjoy your fiberglass pool with total peace of mind.
