Your Dream Pool in Columbia & Lake Murray Starts Here
Choosing the Right Pool for Your Columbia or Lake Murray Home
When it comes to pool installation in the Columbia and Lake Murray, SC area, homeowners have three primary options: fiberglass, vinyl liner, and custom concrete (gunite) pools. Each type offers distinct advantages depending on your budget, timeline, and long-term maintenance preferences. Michael Duggan walks every client through the pros and cons to find the perfect match for their property and lifestyle.
Fiberglass Pool Installation
Fiberglass pools are a popular choice for Columbia homeowners looking for a fast installation with minimal long-term maintenance. These pre-manufactured shells are delivered and set in place quickly, and the smooth gel-coat surface naturally resists algae growth—meaning fewer chemicals and less scrubbing for you.
New fiberglass pool installations with backyard transformation start at $70,000. Features like deck jets and LED lighting can turn even a compact fiberglass pool into a stunning backyard centerpiece.
Custom Concrete Pools
For homeowners who want a fully custom design, concrete (gunite) pools offer unlimited possibilities in shape, size, depth, and features. From water feature retaining walls to integrated lounging areas, concrete pools let you build exactly what you envision.
Custom in-ground concrete pool construction and backyard transformation starts at $90,000. These pools require a longer build timeline but deliver a one-of-a-kind result that's built to your exact specifications.
The Pool Installation Process in Columbia & Lake Murray, SC
Building a new pool is a significant investment, and understanding the process helps set realistic expectations. From initial consultation to your first swim, the ASP of Columbia team guides you through every phase of construction with clear communication and no surprises.
What to Expect During Your Pool Build
The journey begins with a site evaluation where Michael assesses your property's soil conditions, drainage patterns, slope, and available space. South Carolina's clay-heavy soils and varied terrain require specific engineering considerations that our team handles routinely. We'll discuss your vision, recommend suitable pool types, and provide a detailed proposal with transparent pricing.
Once design is finalized and permits are secured, excavation begins. For fiberglass pools, your shell can be set within days of digging. Custom concrete pools require additional time for forming, steel installation, and shotcrete application. Throughout construction, we coordinate all trades—electrical, plumbing, decking, and landscaping—to ensure seamless progress and a beautiful finished result.
Your Investment in Outdoor Living
A swimming pool is more than a place to cool off—it's an extension of your home that provides years of enjoyment, health benefits, and increased property value. Studies show that homes with pools in warm climates like South Carolina can see property value increases of 5–8%. Beyond financial returns, a pool offers a private retreat for exercise, relaxation, and quality time with family and friends.
We also offer pool remodels including tile, plaster, coping, pavers, and concrete starting at $20,000. Whether you're building from scratch or refreshing an existing pool, Michael and the ASP of Columbia team will work with you to design a solution that fits both your vision and your budget.
