Inground pool installation with Delpres Services covers the whole build, from the first sketch to the day the pool fills. As a pool builder, we design custom gunite and shotcrete pools for homes across Macomb County and Metro Detroit. Our crew digs the pool. We handle the shell, coping, tile, plaster and deck, and a licensed electrician does the wiring.
Delpres is a pool contractor based in Harrison Township, and excavation and concrete are also our trades. We build pools for homeowners in Chesterfield Township, Shelby Township, Washington Township and across Metro Detroit. An outdoor kitchen and patio can be part of the same build.

Every pool starts with a design, and we settle the shape, size, depth and finish with you. The building department that covers your address reviews the plan and issues the pool permit. Before the dig, we call MISS DIG 811 so the utilities can mark their buried lines. Our crew then handles the excavation and site work, soil disposal included.
Engineered steel reinforcement goes into the hole, and the gunite or shotcrete shell is sprayed over it. The plumbing rough-in happens at this stage, and a licensed electrician does the electrical rough-in. All of it is inspected before backfill. The trade association for sprayed concrete recommends at least 7 days of curing to help control shrinkage.
Coping and waterline tile go on once the shell has cured, and the deck follows. The interior gets white plaster or a pebble and aggregate finish. The last step is equipment and start-up, where the filter, pump, heater and sanitizer are installed and tested. We walk you through running the pool before we leave.
Pool rules come from the township or city where the pool goes, so the details vary by address. Macomb Township's pool handout shows what one building department asks for. It requires a building permit and an electrical permit for any pool holding 24 inches or more of water. A pool heater adds a mechanical permit.
The same handout wants the pool fully enclosed by a barrier at least 4 feet high. The fence takes a separate permit. Gates swing away from the pool and close and lock on their own, with the latch 54 inches above grade. Doors with direct access to the pool need an alarm that sounds when they open.
Macomb Township also wants at least 10 feet between the water's edge and the house. On a lot with a septic system, the pool and its deck stay off the tank and the drain field. Oakland County's sanitary code sets a 10-foot gap from both. Your local building department and the county health department have the final word for your lot.
White plaster is the standard interior finish, and pebble and aggregate finishes are the other choice. Coping caps the top of the pool wall, with bullnose and cantilever profiles to pick from. Custom coping is an option too.
Coping and waterline tile go through Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles every winter. We install waterline tile with those cycles in mind. Tile repair and coping replacement are also part of our pool renovation work.
We build pool decks in concrete or pavers, pitched for drainage and finished to be slip-resistant. Stamped concrete pool decks carry a stone or slate pattern pressed into the surface. Concrete flatwork is one of our main trades, and a concrete deck is poured as part of the pool build.

We call MISS DIG 811 for utility locates before any digging. On septic jobs, we line up our work with the county's soil evaluation and inspections.
We dig to spec with equipment sized to the site. Then the work goes in to the approved plan or the agreed scope.
After the required tests and inspections, we backfill and restore what we dug up. Lawns get topsoil and seed or sod, and paved areas get new concrete or asphalt.
