When should I close my pool in Cortlandt?
Once the water holds below about 65°F for several days running — usually mid-October to early November. Cortlandt covers everything from the Hudson shoreline up into the hills, and the higher properties cool first, so go by your own water temperature rather than by a date.
How much does it cost to close a pool in Cortlandt?
It depends on the size of the pool and what the closing involves. We do not publish prices: every pool is quoted after an on-site look rather than over the phone, so the number you get is the number you pay. Call (914) 737-1445 and we will arrange a visit — we are based in Peekskill, next door.
Who issues pool permits in Cortlandt?
The Town of Cortlandt, rather than a village board — worth knowing if you have moved here from a village with its own hall. The safety rules are set by New York State: a barrier at least 48 inches high, under two inches of clearance beneath it, self-closing and self-latching gates, and a pool alarm on residential pools built since December 2006.
Do I need to winterize my pool heater?
A heater holds water in its heat exchanger, and that water freezing is what cracks the unit — one of the most expensive repairs a pool owner gets handed in spring. We install and service gas heaters and heat pumps, so ask us about yours when you book your closing.
Is it too late to close my pool in November?
Not necessarily, but it is close. The risk in November is an overnight freeze reaching water still sitting in the plumbing, which splits pipes and cracks equipment. Call as soon as you can — if a freeze is forecast, say so and we will tell you honestly where you stand.
Who builds stone patios and pool decks in Cortlandt?
We do, in-house. Angel’s Pools has built 300+ stonework projects across Westchester — patios, pool decks, walls, fireplaces and fire pits — with the same crew that services the pool. That means the stone around the water is specified for a pool surround, not a driveway.
