Vinyl Liner Pools
Vinyl Liner Pools, Starting At $59,100
A vinyl liner pool is the most commonly installed in-ground pool in Indiana — built for our ground conditions, and more affordable than gunite or fiberglass. It's our highest-volume build for a reason.
- Real published pricing — no hidden costs, no surprises
- On-time, on-budget builds — our vinyl customers consistently tell us their project finished within the timeframe we gave them
- Financing available with pre-approval
- Hayward salt-water equipment included — about $500/season to own
- Work directly with the owner, not a call center
Gunite & Custom Pools
A Custom Gunite Pool, Built For Your Forever Home
A custom gunite pool is 100% customizable — shape, depth, tanning ledges, spa, lighting, decking, all of it. You work directly with owner Kim Harper, from the first sketch through the final walkthrough.
- 100% customizable — build the pool you actually imagined
- Design and build directly with owner Kim Harper, not a rotating crew
- Salt-water equipment with phone control — luxury that runs itself
- Full outdoor living design: spa, tanning ledge, lighting, decking
- Financing available with pre-approval
Every custom gunite build is different, so we won't quote a fixed price or a locked timeline before we've walked your site — anyone who does is guessing. What we will do is give you a real "starting at" number and stay hands-on with you the entire way.

Real Reviews From Real Pool Owners
“Mud Slingers took our kidney-shaped gunite saltwater pool from planning to execution without a hitch. They worked with our budget and options every step of the way. They made our dream a reality.”
— Jason B.
“Our 40-foot fiberglass pool has Hayward salt and heat pump with phone control. Kim was extremely responsive and very hands on the whole way through.”
— Kyle W.
“Great communication from day one. When a liner tear came up, they patched it, then replaced it under warranty without any pushback. That's who you want building your pool.”
— Eric Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom in-ground pool cost?
We publish real starting prices instead of making you ask: vinyl liner pools start at $59,100, and gunite/custom pools start at $62,500 (14×28, sales tax included). Final price depends on size, depth, and design.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Financing is available with pre-approval, and we accept cash, check, and credit/debit. Ask us about current payment plan options during your free consultation.
How long does a pool build take?
A typical build runs 6-8 weeks depending on weather and site conditions, with mobilization usually starting 2-4 weeks after your contract is signed. Vinyl liner builds tend to be the most predictable on timeline; custom gunite builds vary more by design complexity.
What areas do you serve?
We build in-ground pools across five states: Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. We come to you wherever you're located in our service area.
What's the difference between a vinyl liner and a gunite pool?
Vinyl liner pools are the most commonly installed pool in Indiana and cost less to build — a great fit for ground conditions here. Gunite pools are 100% customizable in shape and features, built for homeowners who want full design flexibility. Both come with the same Hayward salt-water equipment package.
Will I actually work with the owner?
Yes. Owner Kim Harper is hands-on with design and construction — not a call center and not a rotating sales rep. That's the single thing our customers mention most in reviews.
