Building Pools That Hold Up Over Time

Pools & Homes Builders LLC constructs swimming pools using cement-lined structures in Middletown, New York.

When you want a pool that is built to last and can handle custom shapes or reinforced designs, cement lining provides the durability and water retention you need. Pools & Homes Builders LLC manages the full construction process in Middletown, from site preparation and structural installation through cement application and curing, delivering a pool that is strong enough to resist cracking and shifting over the long term.

Cement lining is applied over the pool structure to create a solid, watertight surface that holds up under pressure and seasonal ground movement. This method works well for custom-shaped pools or builds that require additional structural integrity. The process includes coordination with excavation, installation, and finishing phases to keep the project on schedule and built to proper standards.

How Cement-Lined Pool Construction Works

The construction starts with preparing the site through excavation and grading, then positioning the pool structure to the correct depth and alignment. Once the structure is secured, the crew applies cement lining to the interior surfaces using trowels and smoothing tools to create an even, durable finish. In Middletown, the team adjusts the mix and application based on soil conditions and structural requirements.

After the cement is applied, you will see a smooth, solid surface that forms the interior of the pool. The cement needs time to cure before water is added, and the crew monitors the process to prevent cracking or uneven drying.

This service includes site preparation, structural installation, and cement lining, but it does not cover decking, landscaping, or interior finishes such as tile or plaster. The focus is on building a structurally sound pool that will hold water and perform reliably for years.

Common questions before construction starts

Most homeowners ask about the benefits of cement lining, how long the curing process takes, and whether the pool can be customized. These questions help clarify what to expect from the construction process.

What makes cement lining stronger than other pool finishes?
Cement lining creates a thick, reinforced layer that bonds directly to the pool structure. It resists cracking, handles ground movement better than vinyl, and provides long-term water retention without frequent repairs.
How long does cement need to cure before the pool can be filled?
Cement typically needs seven to fourteen days to cure, depending on temperature and humidity. Rushing this step can cause cracking or weaken the bond, so the crew monitors conditions and advises when it is safe to fill.
Why is cement lining recommended for custom-shaped pools?
Cement conforms to irregular shapes and curves better than prefabricated liners. It allows for custom designs and provides the structural support needed for non-standard pool layouts.
What happens if the cement cracks after installation?
Proper site preparation, correct mixing, and controlled curing prevent most cracks. If a crack does appear, it can be repaired by cleaning the area, applying a bonding agent, and filling it with fresh cement.
When is cement-lined construction the best choice?
Cement-lined construction works well for homeowners who want a durable, custom pool that will last decades. It is ideal for properties with challenging soil conditions or designs that require extra structural reinforcement.
