The Knickerbocker Pool Journey
Your backyard.
Our family’s commitment.
A pool is a major addition to your home. You deserve to understand the plan, know the people behind the work, and have someone to turn to long after construction. Our family-led process connects every stage—from the first yard visit to ongoing local support.
Built by Knickerbocker employees
Our crews. Our standards.
Your peace of mind.
Your pool is built by Knickerbocker employees and managed by Knickerbocker from start to finish. We don’t subcontract our pool construction work. That means one accountable team, consistent oversight, and craftsmanship we stand behind.
With our own crews doing the work, we maintain direct control over the details that make a lasting difference in your pool’s quality.
Built with care. Backed for the long run.
Underground plumbing coverage
for the life of your pool.
We stand behind the work our crews put into your backyard. Knickerbocker warranties your pool’s underground plumbing for the life of the pool, provided Knickerbocker winterizes your pool every year.
It’s lasting protection backed by the team that built your pool—and another reason to feel confident choosing Knickerbocker.
Terms and conditions apply. Coverage requires annual winterization by Knickerbocker. Ask our team for the complete written warranty, including eligibility, coverage details, and exclusions.
Our proven process.
Explore & Quote
A plan starts with your yard—not a guess.
Your yard visit is with Dave, our General Manager, Austin Knickerbocker, or Tom Knickerbocker. These experienced pool-building professionals bring an expert eye to your property and your vision. Together, you work through what you most need and want—from how you’ll use the pool to how the whole backyard should feel.
Your expert assesses what zoning will allow, electrical code requirements, construction access and logistics, elevations, and yard design. That experienced eye helps connect your ideas to a practical plan. You receive a quote that day, with guidance grounded in your property—not just a price from a screen.
Planning & Permits
We help turn your decision into a plan.
Your $5,000 deposit gets the project moving. Our experienced office staff begins the permit application process and helps move the required planning work forward.
You have a local team handling the next steps, rather than having to navigate the process on your own.
Walk Through with Tom
Get the important details right before the build.
At groundbreaking, Tom Knickerbocker walks the project with you. Together, you confirm and refine the pool layout, elevations, and construction logistics on the actual site.
This puts the plan in context: where the pool will sit, how the space will work, and what the construction team needs to know.
Build with Care
Our name is on the work.
Tom personally manages our specialized crews of Knickerbocker employees. Every worker on our pool construction team works for Knickerbocker, giving us direct oversight of workmanship at each stage. Our construction team and office staff also coordinate city or township inspections as the project progresses.
Hands-on oversight and experienced crews bring accountability to the build. You have a team working together on the details that turn a drawing into your backyard.
Learn with Confidence
Feel comfortable taking care of your investment.
Before you settle into pool ownership, we provide a comprehensive pool lesson covering operation, care, and enjoyment. We also review warranty coverage and how to access service support.
You leave with more than a finished pool—you know where to start and who to contact when questions come up.
