We’ve had our pool for two summers now, and it’s still absolutely perfect. Crain Co. handled everything from design to installation, and their attention to detail shows. Our kids practically live in the pool all season long!

Frequently Asked Questions
Most pools take between 8–12 weeks to complete, depending on the type (gunite, fiberglass, or liner), the complexity of the design, weather conditions, and permitting. Our team will give you a clear timeline before construction begins.
Gunite Pools are fully customizable, extremely durable, and built to fit any shape or design.
Fiberglass Pools come in pre-formed designs, install quickly, and require less maintenance.
Vinyl Liner Pools are more affordable with flexible designs, but the liner will need to be replaced periodically.
We’ll guide you through which option best suits your home and lifestyle.

Absolutely. Beyond pools, we specialize in complete outdoor living — including kitchens, turf, patios, hardscapes, fire features, and even pool houses. This allows us to design your backyard as one cohesive space instead of piecing it together over time.
