Questions from Isle of Palms
Above Ground Pool Removal in Isle of Palms: your questions
Does the pool need to be drained first?
It helps, but we can bring a pump if it isn't. Ask about it when you book.
Do you remove the sand or base underneath?
Yes, on request. Most homeowners want the sand out so the lawn can be reseeded.
What about the deck around it?
Attached decks and platforms can be removed in the same visit.

Only for the estimate, and even that can happen by phone or text with photos from the crew. Property managers and out-of-town owners do it this way every week.

Very little. Decide what stays, point it out or tape it, and clear a path if it is easy. Set aside anything with personal data you want to keep. The crew does the rest.

Yes. Narrow stairs, basements, and backyards with no gate are normal. We carry it out by hand and protect the floors on the way.

Rain does not stop most jobs. Lightning, ice, and high wind do, especially for boat lifts and tow work. If we have to move your window we tell you as early as we can and reschedule at no charge.
