How it works

Step 01

Consultation

We come look at the yard, measure, and check access, slope, and drainage. Free, no obligation.

Step 02

Written quote

A firm price in writing, itemized, including any parts your pool is missing. Valid 30 days.

Step 03

Deposit & date

A $50–$500 deposit holds your installation date, typically 1 to 4 weeks out.

Step 04

Installation

We prep the base, build the pool, and connect the filtration. Balance due on completion.

Pricing

Most installations fall between

$750–$2,900

Where your project lands depends on the pool and the site. Every job is quoted individually — no two yards are the same, and your consultation and written quote are free.

01

Pool size

Diameter and wall height drive the labor and materials on every job.

02

Site preparation

A level, accessible yard installs quickly. Sites that need digging, grading, or significant leveling take longer and cost more.

03

Missing or damaged parts

If your pool is incomplete or has damaged components, we identify what's needed and quote those parts separately, so you see exactly what you're paying for.

04

Travel

No travel charge inside San Antonio. Outside San Antonio, we add $2.00 per mile.

How payment works. A deposit of $50–$500, depending on the size of the job, confirms your installation date, with the balance due on completion. We accept major credit and debit cards. Installations are typically scheduled within 1 to 4 weeks of the deposit, weather permitting.

Common questions

Clear answers make it easier to plan your pool project and avoid surprise costs.

Still deciding? Call 726-261-9571 →
Can you install a pool I already purchased?

Yes. We install above-ground pools purchased from us or supplied by you. During the consultation, we check that the kit is complete and identify any missing or damaged parts.

Does the quote include leveling and site preparation?

Your written quote is based on the conditions found during the on-site consultation. It identifies the grading, leveling, base preparation, labor, and any additional parts needed for your specific yard and pool.

How soon can my pool be installed?

Installations are typically scheduled one to four weeks after the deposit, weather permitting. Your actual timing is confirmed before you pay the deposit.

Do you handle electrical work, permits, decks, or fencing?

Those items are not included in our installation work. We explain what your project needs up front, and electrical hookup must be completed by a licensed electrician.

What happens if there is a problem after installation?

BETTDAT includes a one-year workmanship warranty and registers applicable manufacturer warranties for you.
