LINER INSTALLATION PROCESS & COMPLETION

1. Upon receiving your liner from the manufacturer, we will be in contact to set up installation date. We will communicate what you need to do to prep your pool for install, as well as what needs to happen after liner is installed.
2. Installment payment two is due at time of installation.
3. Prior to starting your install, we will thoroughly inspect your pool and the surrounding area. We will document what we see, including any existing damage or concerns. These issues will be addressed with you prior to install, so it is understood that those concerns were present prior to starting any work. This is to protect ourselves.
4. We will need to come out ahead of time to pump any water out of the pool. As long as we have access to your pool, you do not need to be present. We will set up a pump and provide you any information you may need to know regarding this step.
5. Next is the install of the liner. Install time typically takes about two hours, but this could change depending on different issues. You do not have to be present at time of install. If you are unavailable, please let us know so we can arrange where to leave payment and how to access pool area.
6. We will return the next day to do the cut in. Again, you do not have to be present at this time, so long as we have access to pool. Please address any concerns you have during the times we are on your property. We will happily deal with those concerns while we are on site.
7. Once we leave, we expect that you are satisfied with your install, and no concerns were found

Should you have your own liner and just need installation, we are happy to help. However, please note that we cannot guarantee the fit and outcome of a liner we did not measure and order ourselves. We are not responsible for the final outcome of your liner, as we are not the ones to measure for your pool. 

Common Issues

Some common issues may arise after your liner is installed. Liner coming out of bead is very normal, as the new vinyl is settling into the track. We offer liner Lock at the time of install. This is an additional cost, however, should prevent this from happening. We will come put liner back in bead one time free of charge. After that, a service fee will be applied. Ground water may sometimes also get behind the liner, causing the pool to float. While this is something that is not the fault of ours, this is normal and can easily be handled. Please give us a call or send a text, should something like this occur. We are happy to come out a help fix these issues. Applicable service fees may apply. Wrinkles are another issue that may arise. We pride ourselves that our liners fit like a glove at install. A few wrinkles are normal when the liner first goes in. These typically work themselves out as the pool fills back up. Once we come back to cut the drains in, we will check for any wrinkles that may still be and get those out. We also ask that you point out any you may find. Once we leave you job, it is understood that you are satisfied with our services. If we are asked to come back at a later date, service fees may apply. 

Manufacturer Information

We stand behind our manufacturer and choose to use their product for our customers due to the quality in their work. While very rare, split seams do occur. This is typically covered by manufacturer under warranty within the manufacturer terms of agreement. Please familiarize yourself with the manufacturer warranty. Buckeye Liners is considered a mutual party between the customer and manufacturer, and is no way associated with the manufacturer in any way other than as a distributor. The manufacturer warranty does not cover re-installation fees. Should a split seam occur, we will work together to distinguish a new installation fee which is fair to both the customer and Buckeye Liners.

Install cost and liner cost are non-refundable. Liners are ordered to custom fit the dimensions of your pool. Because of this, once the liner is ordered, it cannot be refunded.

Openings & Closings

Openings consist of removing and rolling up cover, getting system up and running, checking for leaks, installing handrails and ladders. We do not handle chemicals, cleanings or removal of debris. We are not responsible for the water quality upon opening. 

Closings consist of thoroughly flushing your lines of remaining water, installing plugs, possible antifreeze as needed, removing handrails and ladders, covering pool. Please have your cover near the pool. We make sure your pipes are thoroughly cleared so your pool is properly winterized. We are not responsible for anything found once you re-open for the season. 

Cover Sales & Install

Cover sales and installs are expected to be paid in two installments. Installment one is the cost of the cover. This is expected upfront before the cover can be ordered and made custom to your pool. Installment two covers installation and is due prior to the install of your cover. 

Miscellaneous Information

We make every effort to create somewhat of a schedule however this line of work makes it difficult to give exact timeframes to customers. Things such as the weather and unexpected issues on jobs can alter an entire day. We will give you an approximate day we plan to do your job. We will communicate should something arise that prevents us from showing up that day. When this happens, your job will likely be done the next day, permitting weather. 

In the off season, liners & covers typically come in within 1-2 weeks, During the busy season it can take as long as six weeks. Once your liner has arrived, we will communicate with you to pencil you onto the schedule. We will do our best to accommodate the date you prefer, but it all depends on our availability.
