As a leading concrete company in Iowa, our team knows what it takes for a swimming pool to perform well in our northern Midwest climate. Our vinyl liner pool and gunite swimming pool builds are designed with long-term use in mind. Being an experienced local swimming pool builder, we work closely with you to design a pool that fits your property, family, and goals. Our inground pool contractor team can construct many pool sizes and shapes, from simple rectangular inground pool designs to freeform pools, infinity edges, tanning ledges, commercial pools, municipal pools, and more.

The cost of a new inground pool depends on a wide range of factors including pool type, size, design, yard access, materials, equipment, decking, fencing, and selected features. A vinyl liner pool and a gunite pool are different types of projects, so pricing will vary. Add-ons such as pool heaters, salt water pool systems, Coverstar® automatic pool safety covers, pool automation, water features, slides, diving boards, and expanded concrete pool decks also affect the final cost. The best way to get accurate pricing is to schedule a consultation with us at Speck USA.

The best swimming pool depends on your property, budget, design preferences, and long-term plans. A vinyl liner pool can be a great choice for homeowners who want a very comfortable swimming surface, eye-catching liner patterns, and a lower initial investment than some other inground pool types. A gunite pool or concrete pool may be a strong choice for homeowners who want more design flexibility, custom features, and a long-lasting structure. Speck USA can help you compare vinyl and gunite inground pools and choose the option that fits your home.

Vinyl Pool Construction

A well-built gunite pool can last for many decades with proper care, routine pool maintenance service, and timely swimming pool repairs. Over time, the pool surface, tile, coping, equipment, and pool deck may need updates. For older gunite swimming pools, Speck USA offers concrete pool renovation services that may include surface improvements, cosmetic updates, equipment upgrades, pool deck repair, tile repair, coping updates, automation, and other practical improvements.

Gunite and shotcrete are both forms of sprayed concrete used to build concrete pool shells. The main difference is how the material is mixed. Gunite is a dry mix that is combined with water at the nozzle during application. Shotcrete is mixed with water before it is sprayed. Both can create a strong concrete pool when installed properly by an experienced concrete pool builder.

Speck USA helps with concrete pool renovation projects of many sizes, from simple surface improvements to larger swimming pool repairs and updates. If your concrete pool is cracked, leaking, rough, faded, outdated, or difficult to maintain, a renovation can help restore comfort, appearance, convenience, and performance.

Yes. Our experienced Speck USA team offers concrete services around swimming pools, including pool deck repair and pool deck improvements. Depending on the condition of the existing concrete, your project may involve concrete repairs, resurfacing, replacement, sealing, or a new finish. Speck USA also works on concrete walkways, concrete stairs, patios, pool decks, driveways, and other concrete areas around the home.

We do. Speck USA provides pool repair, including work related to leaking vinyl liners, concrete pool leak issues, and other renovation concerns. A pool may be leaking if the water level drops faster than expected or you notice that the liner is ripped or punctured. Our knowledgeable Speck USA team can inspect the pool, find where the leak originates, and recommend the right repair or renovation option based on the type and condition of the swimming pool.

A vinyl liner will generally need replacement every 7 to 10 years, give or take a few. A very well-maintained liner may last longer. UV exposure, regular wear, chemical exposure, punctures, fading, and liner quality can all affect the life of a vinyl pool liner. If your liner is faded, ripped, leaking, outdated, or causing water loss, it may be time to schedule a swimming pool liner replacement from Speck USA.

The cost of replacing a pool liner depends on the pool size, shape, liner selection, pool condition, steps, add-ons, and repair work needed before installation. Speck USA offers LOOP-LOC® vinyl liner replacements with an array of vinyl colors and patterns. A liner replacement can also be a good time to consider updates such as vinyl-over steps, a tanning ledge, energy-efficient equipment, a Coverstar® automatic pool cover, slides, water features, pool deck upgrades, or coping upgrades.

A pool liner installation generally includes measuring the pool, choosing the new liner, draining the pool, and removing the old liner. Next, we check the pool walls and floor, completing needed repairs. Then comes installing the new vinyl liner, fitting it into place, and refilling the pool to make it look brand new. As mentioned, we offer vinyl liner replacements or repairs and all types of vinyl liner pool renovations. Our LOOP-LOC® vinyl liner options can also be designed around features such as steps or a tanning ledge.

You deserve a swimming pool that is clean, safe, and functioning properly throughout the season. That’s why Speck USA offers regular pool cleaning and pool maintenance service.

From vacuuming and filter cleaning to water care, chemical balance, pool opening, pool closing, and more, our knowledgeable pool service company can help take care of it all. Call today to discuss ongoing maintenance, pool opening service, or seasonal pool closing options.

Pool maintenance cost depends on the size of the swimming pool, the type of pool, the level of service requested, the condition of your pool, and the pool equipment setup. A weekly pool maintenance service is priced differently than a one-time pool opening, pool closing, or repair visit. For an accurate pricing quote, contact our team with details about your inground pool and the type of pool services you are looking for.

Our pool cleaning service can help with the routine work that keeps a swimming pool ready for the season. Service can include cleaning, chemical balance, filter-related care, equipment checks, and repair recommendations, when needed. The exact service plan will depend on the pool type, schedule, water condition, and the homeowner’s goals.

Common pool service chemicals may include sanitizer, shock, pH increaser or reducer, alkalinity products, calcium hardness products, stabilizer, algaecide, and specialty products for cloudy water, staining, or scale. The exact chemicals used depend on your water test results, pool type, sanitizer system, equipment, and current water condition. Vinyl pools and gunite pools both need proper water balance to protect the concrete surface or liner, equipment, and swimmer comfort.

Closing a pool usually includes cleaning the pool, balancing the water, lowering the water level when appropriate, adding winter chemicals, cleaning baskets and filters, winterizing equipment, blowing out and plugging plumbing lines, removing ladders, equipment, and accessories, and installing the winter cover. The exact steps depend on the type of inground pool, equipment setup, plumbing, and cover. Speck USA offers pool closing service for homeowners who want the job handled by a professional pool service company.

A pool pump motor often lasts around 8 to 12 years, but lifespan can vary based on use, ventilation, water chemistry, electrical conditions, maintenance, and equipment quality. Warning signs may include loud operation, overheating, tripped breakers, leaking, poor circulation, or trouble starting. Speck USA can help inspect pool equipment and discuss repair or replacement options as part of pool service, pool repair, or pool renovation work.
