Professional A/G Pool Liner Replacement • Lake Grove, NY
A/G Pool Liner Replacement in Lake Grove, NY
Replacing an aging above-ground liner in Lake Grove, NY? Empire Pools installs beaded, J-hook, and overlap liners the right way — with prep that’s built for local conditions.
In Lake Grove you’re dealing with a mix of inland humidity, summer heat that can soften vinyl, and spring/fall temperature swings that make wrinkles and stretching more likely if the liner isn’t set properly.
We drain and remove the old liner, inspect the wall and coping track, treat surface rust, and re-shape the base/cove so the floor is smooth before the new liner goes in.
Then we hang and center the liner, vacuum-set it to pull out trapped air and reduce wrinkles, and we take our time aligning the pattern and waterline before the pool fills.
Lake Grove installs often involve access through tight side yards and mature landscaping — whether you’re near Middle Country Road (NY-25), along Smith Haven Mall, Lake Avenue, Moriches Road, Alexander Avenue, or back streets closer to nearby neighborhoods.
We plan the setup to keep your yard clean, protect pavers and patios, and keep hoses/pumps organized so the job stays efficient and safe.
If your pool is near local landmarks like Smith Haven Mall, AMC Dine-In area, or close to Long Island Expressway access for quick routing, we factor wind exposure and temperature timing into the vacuum-set and fill.
Expect fast scheduling, clear communication, and a clean jobsite when we leave — with photos of key steps so you know exactly what was done.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A/G Liner Replacement FAQs
Straight answers for Lake Grove 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.
