Our Work Process

During the pool construction process, one of our expert designers will visit your home to determine which pool needs, ideas, and options appeal to you and fit in your budget. They will also measure your yard and note elevations and access. Then, they will create a pool conceptualization that includes: pool size, location, shape, special features, and equipment location. Finalizing plans and discussing landscaping completes this first step.

Your designer will create a detailed construction plan that identifies utilities, elevations, and other factors unique to your property. We will submit these plans to the right local agencies on your behalf to obtain all permits.

One of our construction experts will make an appointment to “lay out” the pool — paint the outline of the pool in your backyard. They will get your written approval on the location, shape, and elevation of your pool. Any changes will be made in writing, with your signature.

Excavation is conducted by our professional employees, not contractors. We reinforce the shell of your pool by using steel bars placed at intervals to maximize structural integrity.

Your pool is backed by a limited lifetime structural warranty, so structural support is vital…the foundation of your pool. Your gunite pool will withstand years of use, unlike a vinyl liner pool which often result in torn liners and costly repairs.

We will dig trenches outside the walls of your pool for plumbing installation.  Our plumbing crew uses corrosion resistant PVC pipe and over-sized plumbing lines for improved circulation. The lines are then pressure-tested to guarantee proper operation.

We will dig more trenches to run conduit/wire — following the construction plan guidelines. Our master electricians will make sure all the work done is in compliance with National Electrical Code.

Your pool will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment backed by superior warranties.

We will create the shell of your pool by shooting Gunite (a high-strength concrete mix) into the steel form, creating a thick foundation. Our crew will then hand-sculpt all steps, tanning ledges, etc., to match precise measurements.

Our expert masons will install your chosen brick or stone around the top edge of your pool. We will also do any special stone or rock work, such as waterfalls, retaining walls or hardscaping. Your water-line tile is then installed. Our masons and tile-setters are dedicated craftsmen who will make sure each detail meets specifications.

We typically form your decks in one day, but completion time depends on deck size, materials, and finishes you chose with your designer. Our experienced deck building crew will take the time needed to make sure you have a durable, attractive deck to surround your pool.

We will remove any construction debris and do a general cleanup. Our crew will then do a “rough grading” of the area around the pool — shaping areas for your landscaping, drainage, etc.

We will apply plaster onto the dried concrete to give your pool surface a smooth, beautiful finish. One of our representatives will meet with you before we schedule this to do a project walk-through and discuss your questions. They will instruct you on properly filling your pool with water after we apply the interior finish. An appointment will be scheduled to provide you with operating instructions.

One of our technicians will visit you after the pool is full of water. They will turn on all equipment to make sure everything is working properly and make adjustments.  They will show you how to use your equipment and maintain your pool — including proper water chemistry. Feel free to film this with your smartphone for future reference. They will give you a manual with further instructions and your warranties. Our Service Department is available to answer any questions.
