Step 1: Demo

The process begins with demolition. We clear the area where your new pool will be built, removing any old structures, plants, or obstacles that may be in the way. The area is then prepared for excavation.

Step 2:
Excavation

Excavation is where the magic starts. Using heavy equipment, we carefully dig out the area to match the shape and size of your custom pool design. This step typically takes one full day.

Step 3:
Plumbing & Steel

The plumbing and steel installation is the backbone of your pool. We’ll install the necessary plumbing systems for circulation, filtration, and any special features. The steel reinforcement is then installed, ensuring a strong and durable frame for your pool. This phase takes a full day.

Step 4: Gunite

Next, we apply gunite (or shotcrete), the process of spraying concrete onto the steel frame to create the pool’s shell. This step is crucial for the overall structure and longevity of your pool. Gunite is sculpted to your pool’s precise design, creating the shape of your pool and spa features.

Step 5-6:
Tile & Coping Installation

Once the gunite has cured, we install the tile and coping around the perimeter of the pool. The tile sets the tone for the design, and the coping provides the finishing touch around the pool’s edge. This is a two-day process for detailed work and precision.

Step 7-8:
Deck Installation

The decking around your pool area provides both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Whether you choose concrete, pavers, or another material, our team works to install the pool deck to your desired specifications.

Step 9-10:
Equipment Set & Electrical

Our technicians will set up all pool equipment, including pumps, filters, heaters, and other vital components. At the same time, our electrical team will install lighting, controls, and any other electrical features. This step ensures that your pool is operational and ready for the final stages.

Step 11:
Fence Installation

Safety is our priority. We’ll install a durable fence around the pool area to ensure compliance with safety regulations. The installation process takes a full day.

Step 12: Plaster

Plaster is applied to the interior of the pool, giving it a smooth and water-ready finish. This step is critical for both the pool’s appearance and functionality. The plaster is carefully troweled to perfection.

Step 13: Full of Water & Chemicals Added

Finally, we fill the pool with water and begin the chemical balancing process. Our experts will add the right amount of chemicals to ensure the water is clear, safe, and ready for swimming. The pool will need a few days to stabilize, but it will be ready for use soon after.
