Construction & Installation Services

Piece of the Beach™ provides above-ground and hybrid pool sales, site preparation, installation, liner replacement, related accessories, and optional services (e.g., electrical coordination via licensed third parties). Service availability, specifications, and pricing may change without notice.

Quotes & Scope. Written quotes describe the scope of work, model(s), liner type, accessories, site prep assumptions, and exclusions. Quotes are valid for the period stated on the document or, if unspecified, 14 days.
Deposits & Payments. A deposit may be required to reserve materials and installation dates. Remaining balances are due per invoice terms (e.g., upon delivery, substantial completion, or milestones). Late payments may incur fees as stated on your invoice.
Permits & Approvals. Unless expressly stated in writing, the property owner is responsible for securing all required permits, inspections, HOA/ARC approvals, and zoning compliance. Work delays caused by missing approvals may affect scheduling and pricing.
Site Access & Conditions. Owner must provide clear, safe access for crews, equipment, and material staging. The quote assumes a reasonably level, accessible site with standard soil conditions. Hidden conditions (e.g., ledge/rock, stumps/roots, buried debris, drainage issues) may require additional work billed as a change order.
Underground Utilities. Owner must identify and mark private utilities and underground obstructions. We contact public utility-marking services when required, but private lines (e.g., sprinkler, pool lines, low-voltage, septic) are the owner’s responsibility. We are not liable for unmarked private utilities.
Electrical & Code. Electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable code. Bonding, GFCI, and dedicated circuits may be required for pumps, heaters, and lighting. Electrical costs are not included unless specifically itemized.
Water & Start-Up. Unless specified, water delivery/fill is excluded. Owner is responsible for initial and ongoing water chemistry. Imbalanced water (e.g., low pH/alkalinity, high chlorine) can damage liners and equipment and void warranties.
Change Orders. Any owner-requested changes or additional work due to unforeseen conditions will be documented via change order with associated cost and schedule adjustments.
Scheduling & Delays. Installation dates are estimates and may shift due to weather, supply chain, inspections, or prior job delays. Force majeure events (e.g., storms, flooding, strikes) extend timelines without liability.
Materials & Substitutions. We may substitute comparable materials or components if specified items are unavailable, maintaining equal or better quality at our discretion.
Warranties. Manufacturer warranties apply to pools, liners, and equipment per the manufacturer’s terms. Our workmanship warranty (if provided) covers installation defects for the stated period. Normal wear, misuse, neglect, improper chemistry, freeze damage, ground movement, or acts of nature are excluded.
Owner Responsibilities. Owner must maintain proper fencing/barriers as required by law, supervise minors, secure the site, and follow posted safety guidelines. We are not responsible for injuries caused by improper use or unsupervised access.
Surface Restoration. Reasonable care is taken to minimize disturbance, but lawn/landscaping, ruts, and compaction may occur from necessary site access; restoration is excluded unless quoted.
Returns & Special Orders. Special-order items may be non-returnable. Returned items (if approved) may be subject to restocking fees and must be unused in original packaging.
Photography & Marketing. With your permission, we may photograph completed projects for portfolio use. Personal information and addresses are not disclosed.
Safety Notice. Pools present drowning and injury risks. Always use proper barriers, alarms, and supervision. No diving in above-ground pools.
