In North Carolina you need a building permit to install an inground pool, and requirements vary by county and municipality — Catawba, Caldwell, Alexander and Burke each handle inspections locally. As your trusted pool company we guide you through the entire process, including any electrical, plumbing or zoning permits. Contact The Foothills Pool Company at (828) 471-7706 for expert help.
Yes. Under the North Carolina Building Code, residential swimming pools deeper than 24 inches must be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Individual counties and towns may add requirements, so contact us and we will confirm what applies to your property.
Installing a pool may raise homeowners insurance premiums due to added liability. Insurers factor in pool type, safety features like fencing, and maintenance. Contact your insurer to confirm premium impacts, and call The Foothills Pool Company at (828) 471-7706 for guidance.
An inground pool can add meaningfully to your home's value, depending on its size, condition and location — particularly around Lake Hickory where outdoor living is a major selling point. Contact The Foothills Pool Company at (828) 471-7706 to learn more!

A fiberglass inground pool installation is typically faster than concrete—often completed in a few weeks depending on site conditions, hardscape scope and weather. During your free consultation we'll provide a clear timeline. Call (828) 471-7706 to get started.
Ask three things. First, does the pool builder pour the concrete pool decks and hardscape themselves, or subcontract it to a second crew? Second, is the quote itemized, so you can see the pool installation separately from the deck, coping and equipment? Third, are they an authorized dealer for the shell they are selling you? The Foothills Pool Company handles pool and hardscape with one crew, quotes both line by line, and installs Imagine Pools and Thursday Pools as an authorized dealer. Call (828) 471-7706 and compare us to any other pool builders in the foothills.
