Ask about this packageFrom measure to swimming
About four weeks from the first visit, most of it waiting for your liner to be cut at the factory. The pool is only drained for two or three days.
- Week 0
Measure
Marcus measures every wall, corner and slope with a liner tape and checks the walls, floor and track. About 45 minutes.
- Weeks 1–3
Pick and order
You choose a pattern from real samples at your kitchen table. The liner is cut to fit and shipped to us.
- Days 1–2
Drain and set
Old liner out, floor and walls fixed, new liner hung in the track and vacuum-set so it pulls tight into the corners.

Our old liner had pulled out of the track on the deep end. Marcus measured on a Tuesday, the new one came in under three weeks and we were swimming by the weekend after install.
He told us the walls were fine and we did not need the $2,000 panel repair another company quoted. Liner, new steps and an LED light, all on the price he wrote down.
Pine needles used to sink straight to the floor. The safety cover keeps them out all winter and the grandkids cannot get in. The crew cleaned up better than we would have.
Marcus measures every pool
A liner is only as good as the measurements behind it. Marcus learned that on a liner crew in Laurel and still does every measure himself, so the liner that shows up fits the first time.
His wife Renee runs the office and the schedule. The crew is three people and one trailer, and we take about 70 jobs a year.

Common questions
Still wondering about something? Call Renee at the office. She knows the schedule better than anyone.
How long does a vinyl liner last here?
8 to 12 years is normal in South Mississippi. Strong sun, high chlorine and low pH shorten it; a cover and balanced water stretch it toward 15.
Can you match my old liner pattern?
Usually something close. Patterns change every few years, so we bring current samples from three makers, from plain blue to tile-print borders and stone looks.
Do you work on fiberglass or gunite pools?
No. We only do vinyl liner pools and the parts around them: steps, lights, coping and covers. For plaster pools we can point you to a good local resurfacer.
Where does the water come from to refill?
Your hose works but takes two or three days. Most people pay for a water truck, about $350 to $500, and the pool is full the same afternoon.
Will my yard get torn up?
No digging for a liner swap. We lay plywood over the grass for the trailer path and haul off the old liner. Coping work does mean a few days of mortar and dust near the edge.
How do I pay?
A 40% deposit when we order the liner, the rest when the pool is full and you have seen it. Check, card or bank transfer.
