Our Pool Construction Process
Buying a new pool is a big decision and investment! It is certainly one you shouldn’t make without doing your research. At Mill Bergen Pools, we understand the investment you are about to make, and we are dedicated to providing you with an exceptional design and seamless building process.
It is our job and deep passion to help you make the best decision when it comes to outfitting your backyard with a custom gunite, vinyl liner, or fiberglass pool. During your consultation, your Mill Bergen Pools representative will walk you through the three different types of inground pools that are offered and provide you with all of the necessary information to decide which one your family will benefit most from. After spending time with you, learning your vision and your desires, we will create a digital rendering on the computer of what the finished product will be. This unique design method gives the customer an extremely detailed visual image of the finished product in your yard, down to the correct color scheme and pool size/shape.
As the leading pool builder in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the surrounding areas, we feel confident we’ll be able to design and build the perfect inground pool for your backyard space. From classic designs to more elaborate features, Mill Bergen Pools can create what you are looking for at an affordable price.
