Construction and Timeline
Find answers to common questions about new pool construction timelines, Florida permitting requirements, and how weather impacts your build.
How long does a new pool build take from start to finish?
On average, a custom inground pool build takes 6 to 12 weeks from the start of excavation to the final water fill. The overall timeline depends on project complexity. Custom features such as spas, rock waterfalls, outdoor kitchens and custom hardscapes can add time. Unforseen site conditions, weather and added engineering requirements are all obsticles that could add time to any project. Keep in mind that initial engineering, site planning, and county permitting typically take an additional 2 to 8 weeks prior to excavation.
What permits/approvals are required before the building can begin?
Every custom pool build requires full permitting and regulatory approval prior to breaking ground. We handle the heavy lifting for you, including:
Building & Trade Permits: Covers structural, electrical, and plumbing engineering filed with your local city or county building department.
Safety Compliance: Ensures full adherence to Florida’s Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act (safety barriers, alarms, and anti-entrapment drains).
HOA Approvals: Preparing site plans, setbacks, and elevation drawings for your HOA architectural review committee
How does inclement weather affect the construction timeline?
Florida’s summer rain and hurricane season can cause temporary delays during major earthwork phases, such as excavation and gunite application. Safety and build quality are always our top priorities, so we actively monitor local weather, protect exposed work areas, and adjust site schedules to keep your project moving forward safely without compromising structural quality.
Plumbing Leaks
Plumbing leaks can lead to costly water bills and structural damage. Here is what you need to know about identifying leaks and preventative care.
Do you fix plumbing leaks?
Yes, we fix and replace leaking pumps, salt cells, and filters. We also service leaks in gas and electric heaters, UV systems, tablet feeders, ball valves, multiports, plumbing manifolds and light conduits.
How do I know I have a leak?
If you are filling your pool with water excessively every week and/or your equipment develops wet spots (excluding electric heater). Or your pump is taking a very long time to prime and/or it periodically loses prime all together. You may have a leak.
What are some measures to take for preventative care?
Keep equpiment pad clean and free of debris, ensure roof on your house has proper draining system (rain gutters), do not sit, stand, or lean on plumbing pipes and pool equipment. Painting your pipes will provide an extra layer of UV protection from the harsh Florida sun.
Pricing, Warranty, and Process
Get clear answers regarding project estimates, warranty coverage, 3D design plans, and what to expect financially before we begin.
What warranties come with new pool builds and major structural renovations?
Our new pool builds come with a 15 year structural warranty on the concrete/gunite shell. Major equipment (such as pumps, filters, and heaters) is backed by standard manufacturer warranties—typically 2 to 3 years—and interior finishes carry dedicated manufacturer warranties against material defects. We also provide a 1-year workmanship warranty on plumbing, electrical, and installation services (for new package installations only).
Do you provide 3D design renderings before construction begins?
Yes! We provide full 3D and/or 2D design renderings during the planning phase. This lets you visualize your custom pool, coping, tile choices, lighting, and surrounding hardscape in high detail so you can make confident design choices and adjustments before any excavation begins.
About how much would a new pool cost?
Custom pool costs vary depending on size, site conditions, interior finishes, and features like spas, water features, or automation. Typically, new custom inground pool builds in the Tampa Bay area range from $50,000 to $100,000+, with larger custom resort-style projects running higher. We provide detailed proposals during your initial consultation so there are never any hidden costs.
Payments & Financing
Learn about our accepted payment methods, payment schedules, and third-party financing options.
Do you offer financing options for pool construction or repairs?
We work with preferred third-party lending partners who specialize in home improvement and pool financing. They offer competitive rates and flexible terms to help fund your custom build, remodel, or major equipment upgrades.
What payment methods do we accept?
We accept cash, cashier’s checks, personal/business checks, Zelle, and third-party financing.
How does the payment schedule work during construction?
Our payment schedules are divided into predetermined progress milestones (such as initial deposit, excavation, shotcrete, and final completion) based on the project scope and overall cost. While payments are due at each stage, you are always welcome to pay ahead or settle your remaining balance early without any penalties.
