Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in an above-ground pool package?
An above-ground package typically includes your choice of Doughboy or Radiant pool, professional installation, a Doughboy print liner with a 100% seam warranty, an equipment system, and a ladder and maintenance kit. Electrical, permit, water, and site prep vary by yard.
How long does installation take?
Far less than in-ground, often days rather than months, since there is no excavation. Your quote includes a real timeline for your area.
Do you handle permits?
We place your pool to fit your property and setbacks, and guide you through what your township requires.
Is financing available?
How much maintenance is it?
With the Sustain system, about ten minutes a week keeps the water balanced. We also offer chemical-free Oxygen Pools and ozone options, and we show you the simple routine at startup.
Do above-ground pools last?
Yes. Built with heavier-than-standard steel or resin walls, they last decades, one customer’s is still going at 24 years. The liner is the wear item and is easy to replace.
