"Living in Pike Creek, we wanted a local company that understood our neighborhood. Tri-State exceeded every expectation. The permit process was seamless, the crew was professional, and our fiberglass pool was installed in just three weeks. We have already referred them to two other families on our street."

New Castle County Pool FAQ

How long does pool installation take in New Castle County?

Fiberglass pools are typically installed in 2-4 weeks from permit approval. Concrete pools take 8-12 weeks. Delaware's streamlined permit process often means faster start times than neighboring Pennsylvania.

Do I need a permit for a pool in New Castle County?

Yes, all in-ground pools require a building permit from New Castle County. We handle the entire permit process for you, including application, plans, and coordination with inspectors.

What are the fence requirements for pools in Delaware?

Delaware requires a barrier (fence) of at least 48 inches surrounding the pool with self-closing, self-latching gates. We include barrier consultation and can coordinate fence installation as part of your project.

How much can I save with Delaware's no sales tax?

Delaware has no sales tax, which can save you thousands on pool materials. On a typical $75,000 pool project, this can represent $4,500-$6,000 in savings compared to a pool built in Pennsylvania (6% sales tax).
