List of Services
-
Engineering and PermittingItem Link List Item 1
Once your design is complete, we start the building process. We request engineering and submit a permit application. With the permit in hand, we schedule a pre-site meeting to review the construction project. Permitting times may vary.
-
Layout and ExcavationItem Link List Item 2
With all permits approved, we carefully mark and stake out the exact location of your new pool to ensure precise placement. Excavation then begins, shaping the pool according to the approved design. Once the excavation is complete, steel reinforcement is installed to provide structural strength and durability. If required, preliminary plumbing lines are also placed before the project undergoes the necessary structural inspections.
-
Gunite ApplicationItem Link List Item 3
Once the steel framework is in place and approved, our specialized crew applies high-strength gunite using advanced pneumatic equipment. This process forms the pool's durable structural shell, creating a solid foundation built to withstand years of use. The precision application of gunite enhances the pool's strength, stability, and long-term performance, ensuring lasting quality and reliability.
-
Grading and PlumbingItem Link List Item 4
After the gunite shell has cured, the surrounding deck area is carefully graded and compacted to create a stable foundation and help minimize the potential for future cracking. Our team then completes the installation of the pool's plumbing system, ensuring all lines are properly connected and positioned. Before moving to the next phase, the plumbing is thoroughly pressure tested to verify performance and confirm there are no leaks.
-
Brick and TileItem Link
As the pool begins to take its finished form, coping is carefully installed around the perimeter to create a durable and attractive edge. Decorative tile is then applied along the waterline and other designated areas, adding both style and functionality to the design. These finishing elements enhance the overall appearance of the pool while providing long-lasting protection against water exposure and wear.
-
DeckingItem Link
Once the pool structure is complete, our deck crew prepares the surrounding area for installation. Whether you've selected pavers or a concrete finish, we carefully construct your deck to complement the overall design of your outdoor space. For concrete decks, control joints (saw cuts) are applied shortly after pouring to help manage natural expansion and contraction. When completed within the recommended timeframe, these joints can significantly reduce the likelihood of long-term cracking and enhance the durability of your pool deck.
-
Grading and CleanupItem Link
As the final stage of construction, our team thoroughly cleans the job site and carefully grades the surrounding yard to prepare it for landscaping and other outdoor enhancements. Once the final pool deck finish has been applied and the water has been professionally treated and balanced, your new pool is ready to enjoy. All that's left is to relax, swim, and make the most of your backyard retreat.
-
ElectricalItem Link
Our team completes all required electrical work and installs the essential pool equipment. This includes the filtration system and pump to ensure proper circulation and water quality. We also wire and set up any optional features you’ve selected, helping enhance performance, convenience, and overall enjoyment of your pool.
-
Screen EnclosureItem Link
Final measurements are taken to ensure a precise fit before installing the screen enclosure. This finishing touch completes your pool area, adding comfort, protection, and improved usability year-round. Depending on your preference, a pool cage or fencing can also be added once the deck is finished to further enhance safety and enclosure of the space.
-
Safety SolutionsItem Link
Before the final pool finish is completed, we install essential safety features such as a child safety barrier fence or an alarm system. These precautions are put in place to help protect your family and provide added peace of mind throughout the construction process and beyond.
-
Interior Finish and StartupItem Link
Once all required inspections are completed and approved, the pool shell is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the final finish application. After the interior finish is installed, the pool is filled with water to properly cure the surface. This marks the beginning of a four-week startup period, during which our team regularly brushes the pool and applies the necessary chemical treatments to ensure a balanced, durable finish.
