Jackson, the Gulf Coast, and DeSoto County carry most of the listed volume. For statewide rankings, city counts, and Mississippi pricing, see the Mississippi pool builders directory.
Ask about experience with Gulfport soil, access, drainage, and permit offices, then check completed projects in the pool type you want: gunite, fiberglass, or vinyl liner. Confirm current licensing where required and insurance with the issuing source. The contract should spell out materials, allowances, exclusions, timeline, change-order pricing, payment milestones, and warranty responsibility. Compare at least three itemized bids against the same scope.
Most inground pool projects in Gulfport, MS run $38,000 to $119,000+ installed, with typical projects landing around $61,000. By build type: vinyl liner $34k–$55k, fiberglass $43k–$77k, and gunite/concrete $53k–$106k. Yazoo clay around Jackson is genuinely expansive — shells there need conservative engineering and great drainage, and a local builder will talk about it unprompted (treat that as a good sign). The coast brings sand and water-table management; hurricane-zone equipment anchoring matters south of I-10. Request itemized quotes from at least three builders to price your site and scope.
Most inground pool projects in Gulfport take 8–16 weeks from permit approval to completion. Weather, inspections, material availability, access, and design complexity can extend the schedule.

The outdoor season in Gulfport runs April through October — about 7 months unheated, with a heater adding several weeks on each end. Winters are mild enough that many owners idle equipment with a partial close instead of a full northern-style winterization. The season stretches April through October, and the Gulf Coast pushes longer. Heat plus humidity means algae never sleeps in summer, afternoon storms are routine, and winters are mild enough that a full northern-style close is optional in the southern half of the state.
Jordan Construction, Inc. has the highest customer rating in this Gulfport list at 5 stars across 40 reviews. Bay Pool Company has the largest review count (49 reviews at 4.4 stars). The directory order uses rating and review count together, so the highest star average is not always the number-one result.
Mississippi licenses residential builders at the state level for larger projects — verify the license and insurance before you sign. Pool permitting and barrier/fence rules are handled by city and county offices, and coastal counties add wind and flood-zone considerations your builder should already know cold.
Yazoo clay around Jackson is genuinely expansive — shells there need conservative engineering and great drainage, and a local builder will talk about it unprompted (treat that as a good sign). The coast brings sand and water-table management; hurricane-zone equipment anchoring matters south of I-10. Vinyl liner and gunite split the market by budget, with fiberglass growing for speed. Gulf builds lean screened and salt-friendly; inland, simple rectangles with tanning ledges and generous decks fit both the lots and the budgets.
