Building your new pool takes numerous steps,
each one an important part of the process.
Before construction begins, we will work with
you on design and features and assist in
getting all the necessary permits. We will also
work with your HOA to make sure your
experience is as easy as possible.
There are about 11 steps to the pool construction phase. There
are also several inspections throughout the process. On average
construction time is 3 to 6 weeks from the time we start to dig the
pool till the final inspection is completed on your pool. We make
sure to make the construction proceedure as pleasant as possible
and clean up after every day of work.
Step #1: LAYOUT, DIG AND STEEL THE POOL
First we lay the pool out with stakes with you to make sure the
pool is to your liking. This is where changes can be made to the
design. Once the desired shape and location are approved, we
finish the layout with more stakes and 2’x4’s. Next we start digging
the pool stacking the dirt up around the pool perimeter. Once the
digging is complete, we steel the pool with rebar 1 ft on center.
Then we install the main drains and light niche and any plumbing
that needs to be done before gunite.
Step #2: GUNITE SHELL IS INSTALLED
Gunite is a sprayed on application that is hand carved to your
pool specs. You will then be able to see what your pool will look
like at this stage.
Step #3: DIRT REMOVAL
We haul the dirt away from the job and remove all the forms that
we installed to form up the pool shell.
Step #4: PLUMBING
We install all the jets and plumbing for the pool and equipment.
The plumbing will be pressure tested at this stage to check for
any leaks.
Step #5: TILE
We install all the waterline tile to the pool shell wall.

installed.

equipment from your breaker panel.
