“I have had the pleasure of working with Lea Frederick of Vue Custom Pools on many projects. She is extremely knowledgeable in the field and is also a licensed general contractor. She casts the vision of the project based on her customers style, needs and budget.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 6, 2015
“Michael recently completed a pool project where my company BuildEx was the general contractor. I want to let everyone know that Gress, Inc lives up to the title of "Master" pool builder. I have seen the workmanship of many pools over the years and I can say that this work is by far the best.

You can not go wrong by selecting Michael to build your dream pool!”
Spotlight Pools LLC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 25, 2022
“My husband I had a beautiful pool in Arizona, and after we moved here we were wanting to build for a while. After interviewing several companies, we decided to give Spotlight a chance. We liked the design idea that our designer had and his outside of the box way of thinking because we were facing several challenges, septic system and slope in our backyard. Even though the process took a bit longer than expected (which we were aware of) our pool turned our beautiful! Thank you Dave and the team.”
Backyard Oasis Pools
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Chapel Hill
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 4, 2017
“Amazing ExperienceWorking with Backyard Oasis building our dream pool was an amazing, no stress experience. From the beginning of the process when Vance handed a spray can to us and told us to draw the pool on the grass in our backyard (we chose a free-form pool) to the end when he took so much showing me everything I needed to know about taking care of my pool while allowing me to take copious notes...it was just a good experience. While building, they were respectful of our close neighbors. We knew everything that was happening every step of the way. They even helped us with advice on palm trees that could survive in our climate. Now, we have a beautiful backyard oasis that we just can't believe. We recommend them to anyone and everyone that talks about wanting a pool. They are just a pleasure to work with as well as really great at what they do.”

If you’ve been dreaming of relaxing summer days spent poolside, it may be time to consider hiring a Chapel Hill pool builder. A professional can not only help with design and swimming pool construction, but also aid in appropriate maintenance once it’s complete. Whether you're at the beginning stages of planning or want to revamp your existing pool, a local pool company will be able to get you on the right track.

What exactly do custom pool builders do?


If you are planning for a new pool in Chapel Hill, NC, a swimming pool builder will analyze your outdoor space and your aesthetic wishes to determine an appropriate design for your yard, installing it once the plan is developed and approved. Once installed, some pool companies in Chapel Hill, NC can handle the necessary cleanings, water testing, renovations and equipment replacement or repairs for your pool or spa. If not, many can also suggest Chapel Hill, NC swimming pool contractors or maintenance services to help with upkeep or repairs down the road.

Before hiring a swimming pool construction company to create your new Chapel Hill, NC pool, determine how you'll be using it. Will it be for fun or for lap exercise? Will the primary users be children, adults or a mix of the two? Knowing the use can help you find Chapel Hill pool builders who share your aesthetic.

Once you find swimming pool contractors in Chapel Hill, NC who share your style, research is critical. Review customer references and comments, collect at least three to four estimates to compare, meet with potential Chapel Hill pool designers and builders in person and ensure that they are North Carolina certified service professionals and licensed with the registrar of contractors before making any final decisions. In addition, get a sense whether they plan to complete the pool installation and be done with it, or whether they seem interested in building a long-term relationship with you. Be wary of the former: it's likely a reflection on the level of quality of the pool construction they do.

Questions to ask prospective Chapel Hill pool installation companies:


  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Are you licensed and insured? (Check liability insurance and workman's compensation.)
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your swimming pool services include?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget? What about changes due to materials or labor pricing changes? What kinds of situations do you foresee that would cause extra costs?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
