Yes, we offer complimentary design consultations. Click here to contact us to schedule one whenever you are ready to start talking about your project.

Make sure you are comparing apples to apples, as our construction standards are higher than our competitors'. For example, we use 1.5" and 2" schedule 40 PVC pipe for all our plumbing. Additionally, we only work with top of the line pool equipment such as Hayward.

The time needed to obtain a permit can vary greatly. It can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks for some forms, and all wait times depend on how long officials take to approve permits. Certain factors may increase the permitting process, such as the need for you to submit a stormwater management plan drawn up by an Engineer or the need to request your HOA for an approval letter (if you live in a deed-restricted community).

The time it takes to build your pool depends on a number of factors. The complexity of your design, time of year, and other variables will all determine how long it takes to build your pool. As with any other outdoor activity, pool construction is susceptible to the weather, and rainy days may effect the schedule. As professional contractors, we are accustomed to working in these conditions, and have measures in place to help mitigate costs and delays. That being said, the average pool build typically takes about 6-8 weeks from the completion of excavation. A pool/spa combo takes about 8-12 weeks. Helmer Pools always strives to complete our pools in the fastest timeframe possible, which differentiates us from our competitors. Your pool is our priority!

There are various phases to swimming pool construction, but only a couple of them are particularly noisy: excavation and gunite. The majority of work is not noisy. The crew generally will work during daylight hours, but will respect any restrictions requested by you as the homeowner and/or your neighborhood. These restrictions should be disclosed prior to construction in order to make sure the timeline is accurate.

YES!! We do remodel pools and spas. If you are interested in a remodel, contact us to schedule a free consultation.

Typically, the residential pool industry has offered chlorine, salt water chlorine generators, UV, Ozone and minerals.

The short answer is: 1. Gas or propane traditional pool heater, 2. Heat only pump, or 3. Heat/cool pump.

Gas heaters use natural gas or propane to heat the water. They are faster, can heat to hotter temps, and can heat water under a variety of outdoor conditions. However, gas heaters are costly to operate.

Heat pumps are electric, making them much more efficient and economical. However, heat pumps cannot operate during certain circumstances, such as extreme cold, as the heat pump uses the ambient temperature to heat. The heat pump also takes longer to increase the water temperature. A popular option nowadays (especialy  in "spools" or small rental pools) is the heat/cool pump, It is essentially a heater, but also a cooler for the summer months!

Many people build screen walls to hide equipment or hide it with landscaping. Pool equipment is strategically placed for functionality, accessibility and aesthetics. The larger the distance between the pool and its equipment, the more costly installation will generally be. A larger distance may also make the equipment a little less efficient.

Tile is one of the only luxury finish materials that can really make your pool unique. Most homeowners typically install a 6”x 6” ceramic waterline tile, which come in an array styles. NPT Pool has a great selection to choose from, including glass or mosaic tiles, offered as an upgrade. Whether installed in the waterline, making a statement on a raised spa, or adorning a waterwall, your pool will dazzle! When installed correctly and properly maintained, your tile choice will certainly bring your oasis to life.

Nearly 80% of our pools are finished with white plaster with a blue or teal quatz, which gives the pool a beautiful aqua sky blue appearance, as it mirrors the sky. Recent trends have shifted towards teal green pools, which are quite classy and retro. If you wish to upgrade to a mini pebble colored pool, the sky is the limit!! Have fun browsing the NPT Pool website to find countless examples of pool finishes and how they appear installed.

After the interior finish is completed and your pool is full of water, it will take about two weeks to balance your pool chemicals. As the interior finish cures, it needs a little TLC during the first month to ensure the palster remains clear of stains or calcium buildup. As the plaster cures, it is vulnerable to staining, so we make sure to brush your pool regulary and keep it clean and free of leaves and dirt.

Once the pool is full of water and the pool equipment is fully functional, we will give you a lesson on how to opporate and maintain your pool. This is commonly referred to as "Pool School". If you are a first-time pool owner, it may be a little daunting. But don’t worry. In a few months you will have the routine down… or you will hire a pool proffesssional. Teething problems are normal, and just as we are here for you during the pool contruction process, we are only a text away if you need advice or you require a refresher course. A useful tip: video record the pool lesson!

YES!! All equipment we install come with a three year parts and labor warranty. Please call us first so we can determine if it is a common user error or truly a warranty issue.
