BGI Pools Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a BGI Pool different from others?
At BGI Pools, we view every swimming pool as more than a backyard addition—it’s a reflection of your lifestyle. Our design and construction teams work closely with you from the first consultation to the final water fill, ensuring your pool complements your home and outdoor environment perfectly. Clients choose us for our craftsmanship, attention to detail, and transparent project management.

Why should I choose a custom concrete pool?
Concrete pools offer unmatched design flexibility, strength, and longevity. Unlike fiberglass or vinyl pools, concrete allows for any shape, size, or depth, letting you create a truly custom design. You can add unique features like infinity edges, tanning ledges, built-in benches, or waterfalls—all integrated directly into the pool’s structure.

How durable are concrete pools compared to other types?
Concrete pools are the most durable option available. When built with proper curing, steel reinforcement, and waterproofing methods, they can last for decades. The solid structure resists shifting and ground movement, making it ideal for regions like Myrtle Beach with varying soil and moisture conditions.

Does BGI Pools handle every stage of the project?
Yes, every phase—from design to construction—is completed in-house. Our team oversees excavation, forming, plumbing, concreting, finishing, and water testing. This full-service approach eliminates delays and ensures consistent quality and accountability at every step.

How do Myrtle Beach’s coastal conditions affect pool construction?
Building in a coastal region requires expertise in local soil types, water tables, and salt air exposure. Our extensive experience in Myrtle Beach means we engineer and finish pools specifically for durability in coastal environments. This ensures your pool remains structurally sound and visually stunning for years to come.

Can a concrete pool fit any design style?
Absolutely. Concrete is the most flexible material for design variation. Whether you envision a modern geometric pool, a freeform tropical lagoon, or a classic rectangular lap pool, the possibilities are endless. Finishes such as mosaic tile, pebble aggregate, or polished plaster let you achieve any aesthetic—from contemporary to traditional.

What is the average lifespan of a concrete pool?
With proper construction and care, a concrete pool can last 40 to 50 years or more. Routine maintenance—such as periodic resurfacing and correct chemical balance—helps preserve the structure and finish over decades of enjoyment.

Does BGI Pools offer pool renovation or maintenance services?
Yes. In addition to new construction, we provide full renovation and maintenance programs. Services include resurfacing, equipment upgrades, energy-efficient additions, and seasonal care. These services ensure your pool remains beautiful, safe, and easy to maintain long after the original build.

How does BGI Pools ensure long-term quality?
We use only high-grade materials, precision forming, and advanced waterproofing techniques. Our builders adhere to strict quality standards to deliver consistent, long-lasting results. Every finished pool reflects our signature mix of structural integrity and visual artistry, supported by decades of hands-on local experience.
