Everything you need to know about custom pool design, construction, and
maintenance in Florida.
Common Questions About Custom Pools
The cost of a custom pool in Florida varies based on size, features,
and design complexity. On average, most custom pools range from
$50,000 to $200,000 or more. Basic inground pools start around
$50,000-$75,000, while luxury pools with features like infinity
edges, waterfalls, and spas can exceed $200,000. During your free
consultation, we'll provide a detailed quote based on your specific
requirements and budget.
The typical construction timeline for a custom pool in Florida is
8-12 weeks from excavation to completion. However, this can vary
based on the pool's complexity, weather conditions, permit approval
times, and any additional features like outdoor kitchens or
landscaping. We'll provide you with a detailed timeline during the
design phase.
Yes, permits are required for pool construction in Florida. This
includes building permits, electrical permits, and sometimes
plumbing permits. Florida also has strict safety barrier
requirements for pools. Don't worry—we handle all the permitting
process for you as part of our comprehensive service, ensuring your
pool meets all local and state regulations.
Pool maintenance in Florida includes weekly water testing and
chemical balancing, regular skimming and vacuuming, cleaning the
filter, and checking equipment. Florida's heat and frequent rain can
affect water chemistry more than other regions, so we recommend our
maintenance plans for busy homeowners. We also offer one-time
cleanings and equipment servicing.
We offer flexible financing options to help make your dream pool
more affordable. We partner with trusted lenders who specialize in
home improvement loans, offering competitive rates and flexible
terms. Options include home equity loans, personal loans, and
pool-specific financing programs. Contact us to discuss the best
option for your situation.
Yes! We stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties. This
includes a structural warranty on the pool shell (typically 10-25
years), a 1-2 year warranty on equipment, and a 1-year warranty on
workmanship. Additionally, major equipment manufacturers like
Pentair and Jandy offer their own warranties on pumps, heaters, and
automation systems.
Absolutely! We specialize in integrating pool designs with existing
landscapes. Our team can coordinate with your landscaper or provide
complete backyard transformations that include pool installation,
deck construction, landscaping, and outdoor living features. We'll
work with you to create a cohesive outdoor space that complements
your home's style.
Florida has strict pool safety requirements including a minimum
4-foot barrier around the pool, pool alarms on doors leading to the
pool area, and self-closing, self-latching gates. We can also
recommend additional safety features like pool covers, safety
fences, and alarm systems. We'll ensure your pool meets all safety
codes during construction.
Pool Design & Construction
We offer virtually unlimited design possibilities! Popular styles
include geometric pools (rectangles, L-shapes, kidney shapes),
freeform/organic shapes, infinity edge pools, natural/lagoon style
pools, lap pools, and custom designs. During our consultation, we'll
discuss which style best fits your property, preferences, and
budget.
Yes! We provide 3D design renderings so you can see your pool before
construction begins. Our advanced design software creates
photorealistic images showing your pool, deck, landscaping, and
outdoor features in your actual backyard. This helps ensure you're
completely satisfied with the design before we break ground.
Our comprehensive pool construction includes: site preparation and
excavation, steel reinforcement and shell construction, plumbing and
electrical installation, tile and coping, deck/d patio construction,
pool equipment (pump, filter, heater), interior finish, start-up and
orientation. We handle everything from permits to final cleanup.
Yes! We specialize in pool renovation and remodeling. Whether you
want to resurface an aging pool, add new features like waterfalls or
lighting, upgrade equipment to more energy-efficient models, or
completely transform your pool area, we can help. Renovation
projects typically take 2-6 weeks depending on scope.
Popular features include: waterfalls and natural rock features,
grottos and caves, tanning ledges (baja shelves), swim-up bars, fire
features (fire pits, fire bowls), LED color-changing lights,
automation systems (phone/app control), pool heaters (gas, heat
pump, solar), slides, and jets. We can customize any feature to fit
your vision.
Service & Maintenance Questions
We proudly serve all of Central Florida including Orlando, Tampa
Bay, the Space Coast, and surrounding areas. This includes cities
like Altamonte Springs, Winter Park, Kissimmee, Lake Mary, Tampa,
St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Melbourne, and all communities in

Yes! We offer comprehensive maintenance plans to keep your pool in
top condition year-round. Services include weekly visits, water
chemistry testing and balancing, equipment inspection, filter
cleaning, and debris removal. We also offer one-time cleanings,
equipment repairs, and seasonal openings/closings.
Pool maintenance costs vary based on pool size, features, and
service frequency. Weekly maintenance plans typically start around
$100-$200 per month for standard pools. We offer flexible plans to
fit different budgets and needs. Contact us for a personalized quote
based on your specific pool.
We'll handle most of the preparation, but before construction
begins, we recommend clearing the area of any personal items,
furniture, or decorative elements. If you have pets, please make
arrangements for their safety during heavy construction. We'll mark
any underground utilities and handle all necessary surveying.
Unlike northern states, Florida pools don't typically need full
winterization. However, we recommend adjusting chemicals for cooler
weather, potentially lowering running hours, and ensuring your
heater is ready for those cold nights. If you're going away for an
extended period, we offer vacation shutdown services. Ask about our
seasonal maintenance options.
