The best type of swimming pool for your backyard depends on your budget, the size of your backyard, and your preferences. Our team can provide a consultation to determine the best option for you.

Typical projects are completed in a time frame of 6-8 weeks from the start of the project, but can vary due to unforeseen circumstances, weather delays, or the complexity of the project.

Great question! We collect a 10-15% deposit at the start of the project for mobilization costs, and then typically have 3-4 more draws of payments that follow the progress of the project. That way you as the customer, and us as the contractor, never get too far ahead of each other with payments vs. progress. 

A pool construction project will require a building permit from the county in which you live. Rest assured, we as the contractor handle that process. A pool renovation project does not require a permit.

Any type of concrete: broom finished, exposed aggregate, or stamped. Also, hardscapes, such as pavers, stone, hartstone, etc. There are also great options such as artificial turf, or Trex wooden decking, that can be used in conjunction with concrete or hardscapes.

Regular cleaning, balancing the chemicals, and maintaining the equipment are essential for proper swimming pool maintenance. We will teach you these things in our "pool school" when we turn your pool over to you at start up.

 Salt can be a good alternative to traditional chlorine for sanitizing a pool, thanks to saltwater chlorination. When salt is added to the pool water, it passes through a salt chlorinator, which converts the salt into chlorine. This process continuously generates chlorine, which sanitizes the pool water. 

Softer Water: Saltwater pools have water that feels softer on the skin and eyes.

Lower Chlorine Levels: Saltwater pools typically have lower chlorine levels than traditional chlorine pools, which can be gentler on swimmers.

Less Maintenance: The continuous production of chlorine means you don't have to add chlorine as frequently.

Things to consider:

Initial Cost: The initial setup cost of a saltwater chlorinator can be higher than traditional chlorine systems.

Corrosion: Salt can be corrosive to pool equipment and surfaces, so it's important to use materials that can withstand saltwater.

Maintenance: Although the chlorine is generated automatically, you'll still need to monitor the salt levels and occasionally add salt.
