Custom Pool Design
Create personalized poolscapes tailored to your backyard's unique topography and your family's lifestyle needs. Our designers collaborate with homeowners to incorporate specialized features like infinity edges, custom waterfalls, and integrated outdoor kitchens. With over 30 years of experience and 32,000 completed projects, we transform ordinary backyards into extraordinary living spaces that increase property value while maintaining structural integrity through steel-reinforced construction.
Pool Remodeling
Revitalize aging pools with modern upgrades that restore functionality and aesthetic appeal. Our remodeling services include resurfacing with quartz or pebble finishes, installing new water features, and updating pool decks with premium pavers or travertine. Backed by 10-year quartz warranties and lifetime pebble guarantees, our renovations incorporate energy-efficient equipment upgrades and automated control systems while maintaining the original pool's structural integrity through comprehensive inspections.
Infinity Edge Pools
Create visually stunning pools that appear to merge with the horizon through specialized overflow edge construction. Our engineers design these luxury pools with water recycling systems that maintain constant water levels while creating dramatic visual effects. Features include multi-level cascading waterfalls, adjustable flow controls, and evaporation management systems that maintain consistent water levels. These artistic installations serve as both recreational spaces and architectural focal points for high-end properties.
Outdoor Kitchens
Design and construct durable outdoor entertainment spaces that complement existing pool areas. Our custom kitchens feature weather-resistant materials like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and propane/natural gas grilling stations. Installations include integrated plumbing, electrical systems for entertainment centers, and weather-protected television mounts. These additions create complete backyard resort experiences that enhance pool usability for social gatherings and family events.

Questions
How long does it take to build a custom pool?
Construction timelines vary based on design complexity and weather conditions. Most projects complete within 8-12 weeks after permitting, with your dedicated project manager providing regular progress updates.
What pool safety requirements exist in Florida?
Florida law requires either an 85-decibel alarm on pool-access doors, a state-approved pool cover, or a fence barrier. Our designs automatically incorporate these safety requirements for new installations.
Can I see examples of completed projects in my area?
With over 32,000 pools built in Tampa Bay, we can connect you with local references in your neighborhood who have experienced our construction process firsthand.
Do you offer financing options for pool construction?
Yes, we provide financing through home equity loans, unsecured loan programs, and partnerships with Paramount Financial Services to make pool ownership accessible.
What warranty protections apply to my new pool?
We offer a lifetime structural warranty on pool shells, 10-year quartz finish warranties, and lifetime pebble finish guarantees covering all construction materials and workmanship.
Can I schedule consultations outside regular business hours?
We accommodate client schedules with flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends, to ensure convenient access to our design consultants.
