FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A/G Liner Install FAQs

Straight answers for Nassau & Suffolk homeowners scheduling an above-ground liner replacement.

What liner types do you install?

Beaded, J-hook (uni-bead), and overlap liners. We’ll confirm the right style for your wall and coping before installation.

How long does an install take?

Typically 3–6 hours depending on pool size, base prep, rust treatment, and fittings. Filling time depends on your water source.

Do you supply the liner?

You can provide the liner or we can supply one on request. If we supply, we’ll verify measurements and pattern options first.

Can you fix rusted walls or damaged cove?

Yes — light rust treatment and cove re-shape are part of prep. Heavier wall repairs can be quoted on site before proceeding.

Do I need water delivery?

Garden hose fills are fine but slower. If you prefer trucking, we can coordinate water delivery as an add-on.

Will there be wrinkles?

We vacuum-set liners to pull air and smooth the floor. Minor lines can appear during fill but typically relax within days.

Do I need to be home?

No — as long as we have yard/access and a card on file. We’ll text progress photos and any decisions needed.

How much does it cost?

Installs vary by size, liner type, and prep. Call for pricing — we’ll quote after a few photos of the pool and equipment.

What Is an Above-Ground Liner Replacement?

Restore Your Pool With a Smooth, Leak-Free Liner Fit

A professional above-ground liner replacement removes the worn liner, inspects walls/coping/track, rebuilds the base and cove as needed, and installs a new beaded or overlap liner. We vacuum-set the liner for a tight, wrinkle-free seat and reseal fittings so you can refill confidently.

What We Do
  • Drain & remove old liner; inspect wall panels, coping/track, and frame roundness.
  • Prep base & cove; smooth divots, rebuild cove, and add wall foam if specified.
  • Hang new liner (beaded/overlap), align pattern, and vacuum-set for a tight fit.
  • Reinstall skimmer/return with new gaskets; monitor for leaks during initial fill.
  • Notes + photos with after-care and filling instructions for best results.
What’s Not Included (Common Add-Ons)
  • Water delivery or accelerated fill services (available on request).
  • Structural repairs to walls, tracks, or frames; rust remediation beyond minor smoothing.
  • Pool re-leveling or major base reconstruction beyond localized patching.
  • New skimmer/return assemblies unless quoted; haul-away fees for old liner where applicable.

Add any of the above during booking so we can route the right time, crew, and materials.

Above-Ground Liner Replacement

Restore a Smooth, Leak-Free Pool with Professional Liner Replacement

A worn or leaking liner wastes water and chemicals and can damage walls and coping. Our above-ground liner replacement process restores a tight, wrinkle-free fit, protects the structure, and gets you refilling with confidence.

Why Acting Fast Matters

  • Leaks raise water and chemical costs and can corrode steel walls and tracks.
  • Wrinkles and floating liners worsen over time and are harder to correct later.
  • Early replacement protects the frame, preserves shape, and shortens downtime.

What We Handle for You

  • Drain and remove old liner; inspect walls, coping/track, and frame roundness.
  • Smooth base, repair divots, rebuild cove; add wall foam if specified.
  • Hang new beaded or overlap liner; align pattern and vacuum-set for a tight fit.
  • Reinstall skimmer/return with new gaskets; monitor initial fill and check for leaks.

What Helps Us Move Fast

  • Tell us pool diameter/depth and liner type desired (beaded/overlap) and pattern.
  • Share any known wall/track rust or out-of-round concerns; send photos if possible.
  • Clear access to the pool; provide power for vac-set and ensure a working hose/spigot.
  • Arrange water delivery or confirm adequate water pressure for continuous filling.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Above-Ground Liner Replacement — Top 15 FAQs

Everything you need to know about sizing, liner types, prep work, timelines, warranties, and pricing—straight answers, no fluff.

What is an above-ground pool liner replacement?

We remove the old liner, prep the wall and floor, install a new liner (overlap, beaded, or uni-bead), re-seal fittings (skimmer/return), and refill to set the liner tight and wrinkle-free.

How do I know my liner needs to be replaced?

Fading, brittleness, tears, seam splits, or the liner pulling out of the bead/coping.

Unexplained water loss or large wrinkles that return after smoothing are also strong signs.

What liner types do you install?

Overlap (secured with coping strips), Beaded (snaps into a track), and Uni-bead (works either way).

We’ll help match type, thickness, and pattern to your pool, budget, and durability goals.

Will you confirm the correct size before ordering?

Yes—diameter/oval dimensions and wall height (48/52/54"). We also verify bead type and check the frame for out-of-round issues that would affect fit.

Do you drain the pool and how is water handled?

We manage the safe drain-down per local rules, then begin a controlled refill to set the liner evenly. For large volumes, we can help arrange bulk water delivery.

What prep is done to the floor and cove?

We smooth the base, patch divots, add/shape the sand cove or install foam cove if requested.

Optional liner pad helps prevent abrasions and improves the feel underfoot.

Do you replace coping strips, gaskets, and hardware?

Yes—we replace brittle coping strips and install new skimmer/return gaskets and faceplates for a watertight seal.

Can you repair wall rust, seams, or uprights during the job?

We address minor rust spots and reinforce problem areas when feasible.

Larger structural issues are quoted clearly and scheduled promptly—no surprises.

How long does replacement take?

Most above-ground liner installs are completed in one working day, plus refill time.

What liner thickness should I choose?

Common options are 20 and 25 gauge. Thicker liners add durability against abrasion.

We’ll recommend the best value based on use, sun exposure, and your budget.

How do you minimize wrinkles and get a tight fit?

Careful centering, warm-day install, smoothing towards walls, and controlled refill. We align patterns and set the liner progressively to keep the floor smooth.

Will you reinstall the skimmer and return fittings?

Yes—new gaskets, correctly torqued screws, and clean cuts ensure a neat, leak-free finish.

How much does above-ground liner replacement cost?

Price depends on pool size/shape, liner type, thickness, floor/cove prep, and any repairs. Text photos and basic dimensions for a fast, firm quote.

What warranties are included?

Manufacturer’s liner warranty (pro-rated by brand) covers material defects.

Empire Pools includes a workmanship guarantee on the installation.

How do I get started?
Call 631-928-0225 Request a Quote
