Site Excavation
Floyd Contracting will send a foreman or excavator to plan out the pool site upon our arrival. Please let us know of any local setbacks or regulations. We’ll measure the ground using a transit for precise measurements. We will then advise you of any additional costs for ground leveling. We ask that you please have a designated area for grass, rocks, roots, and other unusable materials. We are not responsible for removing these from the site.
Pool Assembly
When you hire Floyd Contracting, you’re hiring the most experienced pool builders and installers. We’ll build a level pool, accurately measured, with a hand-troweled base for the smoothest liner. We will assemble your filter and ensure connections to your pool are sealed. Once the job is finished, we’ll work with you and explain operation and maintenance to keep your pool running flawlessly!
We can also provide patio blocks for your pool and filter. We do not assemble ladders unless they’re part of a deck package.
Existing Pool Replacement
Have a pool that needs replacement? We do that, too! We’ll remove your old pool, and use the existing site to install a new, beautifully-functioning pool. Additional charges may apply if matching to an existing deck or if the pool is sunk in the ground and needs restructuring.

Inground Pool Installation in Maryland & Pennsylvania
Floyd Contracting builds inground swimming pools across Maryland and Pennsylvania, bringing the same 25+ years of construction experience to every inground project that has made us the region’s preferred above-ground installer.
Whether you are planning a fiberglass shell, a gunite build, or a vinyl liner inground pool, our team manages excavation, plumbing, equipment installation, and finish work from a single point of contact.
Fiberglass Pools
Fiberglass pools arrive as a pre-formed shell and install faster than any other inground option — most builds are swimming within weeks rather than months. The non-porous surface resists algae, which means lower chemical use and less brushing over the life of the pool.
Floyd Contracting handles the full fiberglass installation process including excavation, shell setting, backfill, plumbing, and surrounding hardscape.
Gunite & Concrete Pools
When your design calls for a shape, depth, or feature set that a pre-formed shell cannot deliver, gunite is the answer.
Gunite pools are formed on site, which means unlimited design flexibility — tanning ledges, vanishing edges, integrated spas, custom steps, and depths built around how your family actually swims.
Our crews handle steel placement, gunite application, tile and coping, and plaster finish.
Vinyl Liner Inground Pools
A vinyl liner inground pool delivers the look and depth of a custom build at a lower entry cost, with a smooth surface that is comfortable underfoot. Liners are replaceable, giving you the option to refresh the look of your pool years down the road.
As the preferred warranty repair company for most liner manufacturers, Floyd Contracting is equipped to install and service vinyl liner pools for their full lifespan.
What to Expect From Your Inground Pool Project
Every inground pool we build follows the same disciplined process: a site evaluation and design consultation, permitting guidance with your local Planning & Zoning Committee, precise excavation and grading, structural installation, equipment and plumbing setup, and a full walkthrough of operation and maintenance before we leave.
We coordinate the surrounding work as well — pool decks, patios, and outdoor kitchens — so your backyard is finished as one project rather than three.
