Our Approach To Building A Pool
Although we can’t explain all of the details of building a pool on this platform here’s an idea of what to expect when purchasing a pool from us.
Phase 1: Planning
The first appointment takes place in our showroom. You get a look at the materials and equipment that come with the pool. During this appointment, the pool design is created along with a proposal.
First Appointment
Before signing any contracts we want to make sure the pool your purchasing is just right. Pool designs are finalized before any contracts are signed, so the price you see is the most accurate.
Design Finalization
Before layout and the beginning of construction, we help ensure all required documents are obtained. We help with permit and HOA submissions.
Paperwork
The day has come, and layout marks the start of building your dream pool. We come to your property to layout your pool and make any changes to the placement of the pool before the hole is dug.
Layout
Phase 2: Pool Foundation
This step usually takes place the same day of layout and involves the actual digging of the hole for your pool. Excavation is completed within 1-2 days but may be extended if rock is hit during the dig.
Excavation
Gunite: Rebar is formed, creating the structure of your pool.
Fiberglass: Gravel is used to help level the pool once it is set. The shell is set down into the hole using a boom truck, skytrack, or a crane.
Rebar or Placement
The bread and butter to keep your pool running smoothly. Pipes are placed where they are needed to ensure your pool runs smoothly once built. Plumbing takes an average of two days.
Plumbing
Once plumbed, the electricity is wired so that it may power the equipment needed to maintain your pool. A new breaker is installed to power your pool equipment.

Phase 3: Finishing Touches
Concrete or gunite is shot covering the rebar that was placed. Once shot, the gunite must be watered 3 times a day until plaster day, which is usually shortly after.
Gunite
The materials that help make your pool unique to you. Our skilled masoners place the tile and coping for your pool. This can take 3-6 days depending on features included with your pool.
Masonry
Top of the line Pentair equipment is installed. The basic equipment installed is your variable speed pump, four cartridge filter, and chlorinator. Upgrades are also available some examples include a heater or a salt cell.
Equipment
For gunite pools, the plaster of your choice is sprayed. Basic package plaster includes Quartzscape but can be upgraded to smoother feeling plaster. This is the final step in the construction process of your pool.
