Pool Maintenance & New Pool Construction in Vancouver | TDG Pools

You want a pool that looks great, works perfectly, and doesn't turn into a money pit two years after it's built.

That's not too much to ask. But it requires the right team from day one.

TDG Pools is a full-service pool company based in Surrey, BC. They handle new pool construction, pool maintenance, renovations, and design — all under one roof. No juggling contractors. No passing the blame.

This article answers the questions BC homeowners and property managers search for most — and explains exactly what sets TDG Pools apart.

What Does TDG Pools Do?

TDG Pools is a design-build pool company serving residential and commercial clients across British Columbia.

In plain terms: they design your pool, build it, and then take care of it for the long haul.

Most pool companies do one or two things well. TDG Pools runs the entire process in-house — from the first consultation call to the last chemical test of the season. That includes:

• New pool construction (concrete, vinyl, and fiberglass)

• Pool renovations and modernization

• Design and pre-construction planning

• Ongoing pool maintenance and servicing

With over 20 years of pool construction experience and 120+ completed projects, their team has worked on everything from custom backyard pools in the suburbs to complex commercial aquatic facilities for hotels and recreation centres.

New Pool Construction in BC — What You Need to Know

Thinking about building a pool? Here's how TDG Pools makes it straightforward.

Step 1 — Free Consultation You tell them what you want. Backyard size, how you'll use the pool, rough budget. No pressure, no sales pitch.

Step 2 — Design and 3D Visualization Their in-house designers build a 3D model so you can see the finished pool before a single shovel hits the ground. This step alone eliminates most of the "that's not what I imagined" surprises.

Step 3 — Clear, Detailed Pricing You get a full quote upfront. No fine print. No scope creep.

Step 4 — Construction The build team takes over. Because design and construction are handled by the same company, there's no miscommunication between phases.

"Based on working with BC homeowners over the past two decades, I've consistently seen that the biggest project delays come from miscommunication between the design team and the build crew. We solve that by keeping everything in-house." — TDG Pools Team

Pro Tip: If you're building in the Lower Mainland, start your consultation in fall or winter. Construction slots for spring and summer fill up fast — especially for concrete pools, which take 8–12 weeks to complete.

Pool Maintenance: The Part Most Homeowners Get Wrong

Here's a truth most pool companies won't say upfront: a beautiful new pool can become an expensive problem within one season if pool maintenance is skipped or done poorly.

Common Mistakes Pool Owners Make:

• Testing water chemistry only when it "looks off" (by then, damage is already done)

• Ignoring equipment filters and pumps until they fail completely

• Skipping seasonal closing procedures, leading to cracked pipes and surfaces

• Using the wrong chemical ratios, which strips liners and damages finishes over time

TDG Pools offers structured pool maintenance programs that cover:

• Regular water chemistry testing and balancing

• Filter cleaning and pump inspections

• Surface and tile cleaning

• Equipment servicing and minor repairs

• Seasonal opening and winterization

For commercial properties — hotels, strata buildings, aquatic centres — consistent pool maintenance isn't optional. It's a legal and liability requirement. TDG Pools understands the operational demands at that scale and builds service plans that work around facility schedules.

Did You Know? Pools with unbalanced water chemistry cost owners up to 3x more in repairs over a 10-year period compared to pools on a regular maintenance plan. Routine care is always cheaper than reactive fixes.

Concrete, Vinyl, or Fiberglass — Which Pool Is Right for You?

One of the most common questions TDG Pools hears during new pool construction consultations is: "Which type of pool should I get?"

Here's a simple breakdown:

Pool Type	Best For	Build Time	Lifespan	Maintenance Level
Concrete	Full customization, luxury builds	8–12 weeks	40+ years	Higher
Fiberglass	Fast install, low upkeep	2–4 weeks	25–30 years	Low
Vinyl Liner	Budget-conscious builds	4–6 weeks	7–12 yrs (liner)	Moderate

Expert Insight: Fiberglass pools are increasingly popular in BC for a reason. Their smooth gelcoat surface resists algae far better than concrete, which means less chemical use and easier ongoing pool maintenance. For most residential clients who want a low-hassle experience, fiberglass delivers the best long-term value.

That said, if you want a completely custom shape — a uniquely curved pool that fits your exact backyard layout — concrete is the only option that gives you full design freedom.

TDG Pools builds all three types in-house and will recommend the right one based on your goals, not upsell potential.

Commercial Pool Services in Vancouver and Beyond

TDG Pools works with more than just homeowners. Their commercial client list includes hotels, Marina's Swim School, Azoria, strata corporations, and recreation facilities across British Columbia.

Commercial pools have different demands. Higher bather loads, stricter regulatory requirements, more complex filtration systems, and the need for reliable service scheduling that doesn't disrupt guests or members.

TDG Pools' commercial services include:

• Full new pool construction for hotels and aquatic facilities

• Renovation and equipment upgrades for aging commercial pools

• Ongoing maintenance contracts built around facility operations

• Emergency service and responsive support

Their service area covers the Lower Mainland, Sea-to-Sky Corridor, Vancouver Island, and BC Interior. For larger commercial projects, they also take on select clients outside of BC.

Why TDG Pools — Not Just Another Pool Company

There are plenty of pool companies in BC. Here's what makes TDG Pools different in practice, not just on paper:

• One team, one contract. No managing multiple vendors. Design, construction, and pool maintenance are handled by the same company.

• In-house designers and builders. Problems get caught before construction, not during.

• 20+ years of experience. Over 120 projects completed, 95% delivered on schedule.

• Canadian-based, local suppliers. They know BC soil conditions, weather patterns, and permit requirements.

• Transparent pricing. What you're quoted is what you pay.

One recent client noted: "TDG has operated with integrity and transparency. The relationship has been collaborative, with a shared focus on delivering an exceptional end product."

That kind of feedback doesn't happen by accident. It's the result of a team that treats every pool — residential or commercial — as a long-term relationship, not a one-off job.
