Liner Replacements Tuned to Lake Ronkonkoma Yards
In Ronkonkoma, vinyl pools near Lake Ronkonkoma County Park, Hawkins Ave, and Expressway Dr North & South see a mix of
sun, shade, and freeze–thaw cycles that can stress walls, steps, and decks over time. That shows up as seam separation,
brittle beads, stains, and soft spots in the floor.
Whether you’re off Smithtown Blvd and School St, closer to Portion Rd, or tucked into side streets toward Lake Grove,
we plan access, drain-down, and fill pace with your yard, ground water, and wind in mind — from liner removal to final chemistry start-up.
What’s Included
- On-site measurement of length, width, depths, wall height, and radii for a liner pattern that actually matches your pool.
- Complete bead track inspection; we flag and quote any pulled, rusted, or brittle sections before work begins.
- Floor and wall prep — smoothing divots, minor chips, and high spots that can telegraph through a new vinyl liner.
- Liner hang and vac set focused on the hopper and deep end curves common around Ronkonkoma.
- Cut-ins once water reaches level: main drains, returns, lights, skimmer, and step gaskets where applicable.
- Hardware and gasket refresh options so faceplates, rings, and screws match the life of your new liner.
- Removal and haul-away of the old liner (when selected) so you are not left with a heavy, wet roll in the yard.
- Fill and run-time guidance tailored to your system to keep seams seated and reduce the risk of liner float.
- Note: Major wall repairs, new steps, base rebuilds, and plumbing work are quoted separately if identified during removal.

Ronkonkoma Liner Replacement — FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my liner instead of patching it?
If your Ronkonkoma pool has multiple older patches, brittle vinyl, faded pattern, or seams that keep opening,
replacement is usually more reliable than chasing leaks. We can review photos and help you decide.
How long does a liner replacement typically take?
Most liner projects are measured on one visit and installed on another. Once install starts, the active work is usually
one day, followed by fill time and final cut-ins as the water reaches the right level.
What if I’m near Lake Ronkonkoma and worried about ground water?
Areas close to the lake can have higher ground water. We factor that into drain-down and fill, using pacing and
vac-set techniques designed to keep the liner seated instead of floating.
Can I change to a darker or patterned liner when I replace?
Yes. You can change patterns and shades when you replace the liner. We’ll review how different colors behave in sun and shade
and how they’ll look against your existing coping, steps, and deck.
What should I do to prep for liner replacement day?
Make sure we have gate access, pets are secured, hoses are ready, and furniture or toys are moved away from the pool edges.
If you’re having water delivered, we’ll coordinate timing with you in advance.
