What you get from A&R Pool Service:
Pool liner installation isn’t exactly a job where speed is the goal. Precision is. A&R Pools & Spas follows a proven process that starts with properly draining and inspecting your pool, assessing the walls and floor, preparing the base, and then positioning the new liner with care to eliminate wrinkles and confirm every seam, step, and fitting lands exactly where it should. We prefer to work with Merlin Industries liners because their manufacturing standards are consistent and their materials hold up well in Barnegat, NJ pool conditions. Most installations are completed in just a single day, and you can trust that our team will treat your property with the same respect we’d want for our own backyard!
Replacing your pool liner is a detailed process that requires experience, precision, and care. Our team will be there for you every step of the way. We only sell liners from top-of-the-line manufacturer: Merlin industries. We follow a proven, step-by-step approach to ensure your new liner is installed correctly, efficiently, and built to last.
We’ll handle the full draining process carefully, taking precautions to protect your pool surround and landscaping throughout. Before any liner comes out, we’ll confirm your pool structure is in the right condition to move forward.
The existing liner will then be removed completely and properly disposed of, giving our technicians a clear view of the walls, floor, and all fittings. This step allows us to catch anything that needs attention before the new liner goes in.
Before the installation begins, we’ll inspect the pool base and walls to confirm an even, smooth surface for the new liner. Any adjustments that are needed will be addressed at this stage so the liner fits correctly and performs the way it should over time.
Once the liner is set, we then begin filling the pool gradually to allow the liner to settle into place naturally. This controlled filling process helps prevent stress on the materials and locks the liner into its final position correctly.
Once your pool is finally filled back up, we will perform a final walkthrough to confirm that everything looks right and is ready for the next phase of start-up. We won’t call a job finished until the liner is sitting properly and your pool is set up for a great season!

Watch for a water level that keeps dropping, visible tears or punctures, staining and fading, a liner slipping out of its track, or wrinkles and stretching that won’t smooth out. Cracked or brittle vinyl is another major red flag. If you’re topping your pool off constantly this fall, call A&R Pools & Spas for an inspection before the Barnegat, NJ winter weather makes a small leak much worse.
Early fall is one of the best windows of the year, actually to install a new pool liner. Swim season is winding down, schedules open up, and installing now means you’re not losing warm-weather days waiting on the job. Just don’t wait too long. Vinyl becomes stiff and harder to fit as temperatures drop, so autumn installs are best booked before the real cold arrives in the Barnegat, NJ area.
For most pools, the hands-on work takes around a day or two: draining the pool, removing the old liner and faceplates, prepping the floor and walls, and setting the new liner. Refilling adds time on top of that. Since your liner is custom-made to your pool’s exact measurements, there’s also lead time for production. Your A&R Pools & Spas pool expert will map out the full fall timeline for you.
New pool liner costs vary quite a bit based on your pool’s size and shape, the vinyl thickness and pattern you choose, and any wall or floor prep needed once the old liner comes out. Because no two pools measure the same, we don’t really like to post flat pricing. Just call (609) 460-0261 for an accurate quote and to ask about financing options if you need them.
With the proper care and maintenance, most vinyl liners last somewhere in the range of eight to 12 years. Balanced water chemistry, gentle cleaning, and prompt repairs as needed all add years to that. Heavy sun exposure and harsh chemicals shorten it. Clearing autumn leaves right away matters too, since decomposing debris stains vinyl and speeds up wear along the floor.
It’s not recommended to install a pool liner yourself. Liners are heavy, awkward to maneuver, and unforgiving of small mistakes. Even a slightly off measurement or poorly seated bead can lead to wrinkles, leaks, or a liner that pulls out of the track. Professional pool liner installation from A&R Pools & Spas gets the fit, seams, and seals right the first time, protecting your investment for years to come.
