Choosing the Right Pool Installation Option with Home Pro

When it comes to creating your dream backyard oasis, one size definitely does not fit all. That’s why Home Pro Pools offers three unique installation options—so you can choose the level of involvement, control, and investment that works best for your lifestyle. Whether you want us to handle every detail or you’d like to play a bigger role in the process, we’ve got you covered.

In this post, we’ll walk you through each installation option in detail so you can feel confident about making the choice that’s right for you and your family.


1. Turn Key Installation – The Stress-Free Experience

If you want a completely hands-off, luxury experience, our Turn Key Installation is the way to go. From the moment you sign on, we handle everything:

  • Excavation
  • Pool delivery and setting
  • Plumbing
  • Backfilling
  • Concrete
  • Water fill and final cleanup

All you need to do is sit back, relax, and get ready to dive in.

Best for: Busy homeowners who want the peace of mind that comes with a full-service, start-to-finish project.
Investment level: Highest — but worth it for the total convenience and guaranteed professional finish.


2. Wholesale Labor Installation – Professional Work, You Manage

For homeowners who want to save on overhead while still working with our skilled team, the Wholesale Labor Installation provides the perfect middle ground. Here’s how it works:

  • Our Role: Home Pro’s contractors perform the pool installation and technical labor.
  • Your Role: Instead of going through our office staff, you act as the project manager. You’ll communicate directly with our contractors, oversee the schedule, and coordinate other trades (like landscaping or fencing) as needed.

This option is ideal if you want to stay involved in the process, have some flexibility, and are comfortable managing contractors directly.

Best for: Homeowners who enjoy being hands-on with project management but still want Home Pro’s professional expertise.
Investment level: Mid-range — you save by managing the process yourself.


3. Drop Set Installation – Homeowner-Led with Pro Support

Our most flexible and cost-effective option, the Drop Set Installation is designed for homeowners who want control, savings, and the pride of personal involvement—without sacrificing quality where it matters most.

How It Works

  • Home Pro’s Role: We handle the critical, warranty-sensitive steps such as precisely setting the fiberglass shell, securing connections, and ensuring the foundation of your pool is perfect.
  • Your Role: You take responsibility for the remaining stages, including:
    • Excavation (do it yourself or hire your own excavation contractor)
    • Hiring a licensed electrician for electrical work
    • Backfilling, landscaping, decking, and finishing touches

You have the freedom to Handle the parts you’re comfortable with or hire your own trusted contractors.

Why Homeowners Love Drop Set

  1. Cost Savings & Budget Control – Save thousands by managing or completing portions of the project yourself.
  2. Professional Handling Where It Counts – Critical steps are still done by our team to protect your investment.
  3. Guidance & Ongoing Support – Step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and real-time troubleshooting ensure success.
  4. Flexibility in Timeline – Work on your own schedule instead of waiting on contractor backlogs.
  5. Personalization & Pride – From decking to landscaping, you get to create a backyard that’s uniquely yours.
