New Pool Builds
1. Contract and Permitting
ONCE plans are finalized, the contract is signed and the initial deposit is made, we complete the county or city permit process.
2. Pool Layout, Excavation, Forming, Plumbing
Once the permit(s) is issued, we will be on-site to layout the pool. Pool excavation is next, followed by rebar. These steel reinforcing rods are constructed increase the strength and longevity of your pool.
3. Pool Shell
Next, the pool is ready for gunite which is a concrete mixture that adheres to the rebar, and forms the pool shell. We only use gunite companies that are certified Pebble Tec, Pebble Sheen, Pebble Fina installers.
4. Stone Work, Tile & Coping, Plumbing & Electrical
Once the gunite is applied, we can begin the stone work, tile and coping, plumbing and electrical. Depending on the scope of the rock work, this part of the pool build usually is the most time consuming.

Next, our plumber will install your new pool equipment to filter, purify and heat your water. An electrician will connect all pool equipment.

Once the plaster crew arrives, the application takes about a day, depending on the size of the pool. The crew will return the following day to spray down the pool and wash off any grout. Once the pool is washed down it can be filled with water. This usually takes 24 to 72 hours, again depending on the size of the pool. Filling the pool can cost can cost $75-$150.
8. Balance Pool Chemistry
Once the pool is filled, we will balance out the pool chemistry. This takes three to seven days, but you can swim in your pool after the first 24 hours. Once the pool chemistry is balanced out, we will demonstrate how to test the chemistry, clean the filter, and fill the chlorinator. If you decide that you would rather have someone else maintain it, we will give you our recommendations.
