Why Plymouth Homeowners Choose ASP for Pool Installation
Phil Mooney brings four seasons of hands-on pool service, renovation, and construction experience to every project. As a pool owner himself, he understands exactly what homeowners need — and as a seasoned swimming pool contractor, he knows how to deliver it.
Built for Michigan Winters
Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles demand pools built to a higher standard. Phil designs every pool with proper frost line depth (around 42 inches), freeze-proof plumbing, and robust drainage systems. His years of servicing pools through harsh Michigan winters mean he knows exactly what fails — and builds to prevent it.
A Builder Who Knows Pools Inside Out
Most pool builders only build. Phil has spent years servicing and renovating pools — resurfacing plaster, replacing tile, upgrading coping, and modernizing equipment. That hands-on experience means he understands how pool systems actually perform over time, and builds pools that are efficient, serviceable, and built to last.
Local Permits, Handled
Pool installation in Michigan requires building, mechanical, and electrical permits. Pools must meet setback requirements — at least 10 feet from property lines — plus safety fencing standards. Phil handles the entire permitting process so you can focus on choosing your pool design, not navigating local building codes.
National Expertise, Local Care
As part of America's Swimming Pool Company — the nation's largest pool service franchise with 257+ locations — Phil has access to ongoing corporate training, proven construction systems, and a network of experienced franchise owners. You get national-level resources with the accountability of a local owner who answers his phone.

Pool Construction & Renovation Pricing in Michigan
One of the most common questions homeowners ask is "how much does a pool cost in Michigan?" Phil believes in transparent pricing so you can plan your project with confidence. Here's what to expect when investing in a new pool or upgrading your existing one.
New Pool Construction
Pool construction projects in the Plymouth area typically range from $100,000 to $275,000 depending on design, materials, and site conditions. Factors like pool size and shape, finish type (marcite plaster vs. pebble finishes), water features, spa additions, and decking materials all influence your final investment.
Some homeowners prefer a turnkey project with everything completed at once, while others choose to build their backyard in stages — starting with the pool and adding landscaping, outdoor kitchens, or fire features over time. Phil works with you to find the approach that fits your budget and vision.
Pool Renovation
Pool renovation for an average-sized pool typically ranges from $15,000 to $50,000 depending on the scope. A simple tile and coping replacement costs less than a full renovation that includes resurfacing, new tile, coping, and updated equipment.
Material choices also affect pricing — a marcite plaster finish versus a premium quartz or stonescape finish, or choosing between standard and custom porcelain tile. Phil walks you through every option so there are no surprises. Inground pools can increase home value by 5–7% on average, making both new construction and renovation a smart investment.
The Pool Installation Process
Building a new inground pool in Michigan involves multiple phases — and understanding the process helps set realistic expectations. A typical gunite pool construction project takes three to six months from start to finish. Here's what to expect when you work with ASP of Plymouth.
From Design to Dig Day
Every project starts with a site evaluation where Phil assesses your property's layout, soil conditions, drainage patterns, and available space. Michigan's frost line depth (around 42 inches) requires specific engineering considerations that Phil factors into every design. After your consultation, you'll receive a detailed proposal outlining the scope, timeline, and investment. Phil handles all building permits — including mechanical and electrical — so you don't have to navigate municipal requirements on your own.
Once permits are approved, excavation begins. From there, the project moves through steel rebar reinforcement, plumbing and electrical rough-in, gunite application, and a curing period. Then come the finishing stages that truly define your pool's quality — tile installation, coping, plaster or pebble surfacing, equipment hookup, and decking. These are the exact stages Phil has performed hundreds of times through his renovation work, giving him a craftsman's eye for the details that matter most.
Built for Long-Term Enjoyment
As Kelly shared in her review: "So thankful for Phil Mooney's knowledge and patience. I'm a first time pool owner and have no idea what I'm doing! Phil has been patient with me and has helped me understand what I need to do to properly manage my pool." That same patience and guidance applies to every new pool construction project — Phil doesn't just build your pool and leave. He sets you up for years of enjoyment.
A swimming pool is more than a backyard feature — it's an investment in your home and lifestyle. Michigan ranks #8 nationally for pool installations with approximately 283,000 residential pools statewide, proving that homeowners here understand the value a well-built pool brings. With proper winterization features, freeze-proof plumbing, and quality construction, your pool will deliver decades of enjoyment.
