“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. From there she designs the pool and other water features based on the customers desires, using 3D imaging technology. The end product is unsurpassed in beauty and functionality. Vue Custom Pools construction stands the test of time- I would highly recommend them!”

“After meeting with several pool companies for our backyard project, we chose John DeLaforce with Blue Haven Pools. We wanted a pool and pool house design. After meeting with us he presented an incredible design that we loved. We asked him to tweek a couple of things and he did, happily and willingly. It all turned out better than we ever could have imagined. We love our new backyard and so do all our friends!”

Clearwater Construction Group, Inc.
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Chapel Hill
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2013
“Added swimming pool and patio to backyard. It involved a total renovation and some of the work we wanted to do ourselves. We worked with them over the course of almost a year working on design and budget. Our yard was small and work was tight but they were able to work around barriers and come up with solution whenever an issue arose. Even with a very wet spring the project was completed in a timely manner and on budget. Before and after Pictures are include.”
Liquid Designs
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Chapel Hill
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 11, 2018
“Good things come from great kindness, even in business, I believe. Last week, I reached out to Craig of Liquid Designs NC to ask for his advice about using glass tiles on an exterior project we are working on with a builder from out of town. Since Craig works with an extensive range of materials in his pool installations, I knew he would be knowledgable on the subject. He is the pool builder of choice for the team that built our home a few years ago, so we trust him. Without a hint of hesitation, Craig spent the next 20 minutes explaining the process to me in detail, giving me top product picks and application suggestions. If we decide to use glass, his advice will undoubtedly save us thousands of dollars in rework that would need to be done after one freeze/thaw cycle here in North Carolina. After I thanked him for his candid sharing of experience and knowledge, he simply said, "Of course. Happy to help in any way. Please don't hesitate to call with any further questions." I can't thank him enough for his accessibility and expertise. So the least I can do is share with others how much confidence I have in him and his work ethic. I have seen the pools he has build first hand and they are beautiful...built to last a lifetime. Craig and Liquid Designs NC deliver the highest quality of work with the utmost of care, patience, and transparency. I give them my highest recommendation.”

“We built a pool with Jim Hinson last year and it was worth every penny! The pool is quality and looks fabulous. Our family is thoroughly enjoying it. There were no surprise costs and the guys working the project were very considerate and professional.”
Gress' Inc.
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Chapel Hill
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. Being a professions builder, I look at workmanship must more critically than the average homeowner. That being said, these guys do everything correctly and the way it should be done. You can not go wrong by selecting Michael to build your dream pool!”
Spotlight Pools LLC
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Chapel Hill
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.”

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?
