Pool Design & Construction

We proudly serve Brevard and Indian River Counties, including Melbourne, Palm Bay, Viera, Rockledge, Cocoa Beach, Merritt Island, Satellite Beach, Indialantic, Sebastian, and Vero Beach. As a local company with over 30 years of experience, we understand Florida’s unique soil conditions, coastal weather challenges, and local permitting requirements that out-of-area contractors often miss.

We specialize in custom gunite (concrete) pools, which offer unlimited design flexibility and the longest lifespan of any pool type. Whether you want a simple rectangular lap pool, a freeform lagoon-style design, or an elaborate resort-style pool with water features and integrated spas, we can create exactly what you envision. We also build commercial pools for HOAs, hotels, and apartment complexes with full ADA compliance and health department certification.

Absolutely. We’ve successfully built pools on challenging lots throughout coastal Brevard and Indian River County, including narrow yards, sloped properties, homes with septic systems, and corner lots with setback restrictions. During your free consultation, we evaluate your property and identify design possibilities you may not have considered. Most clients who thought their property “wouldn’t work” discovered custom designs that perfectly fit their space.

We offer a wide range of custom features to create your perfect backyard oasis. Popular additions include beach entries (zero-depth entries), sun shelves and tanning ledges, integrated spas and hot tubs, waterfalls and sheer descents, LED color-changing lighting, fire and water bowls, swim-up bars, and underwater benches. We also design complete outdoor living spaces with paver decks, screen enclosures, and summer kitchens.

Planning, Financing & Maintenance

Quality residential pools in our area typically range from $45,000 to $120,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools with standard equipment start around $45,000-$60,000, while custom designs with spas, waterfalls, LED lighting, and heating run $75,000-$120,000+. During your free consultation, we provide detailed estimates that include everything: excavation, permitting, equipment, decking, and cleanup with no surprise costs.

Yes, we offer flexible financing options to help make your dream pool a reality. We work with several lending partners who specialize in home improvement and pool construction financing. Many clients find that monthly payments are comparable to what they’d spend on vacations or gym memberships, while adding $50,000-$75,000+ in home value. We’ll discuss financing options during your consultation and help you find a payment plan that fits your budget.

Most residential pools take 8-12 weeks from permit approval to completion. Custom designs with extensive hardscaping, screen enclosures, or summer kitchens may take 10-14 weeks. Permitting adds 2-4 weeks in Brevard County and 3-5 weeks in Indian River County. Want to swim by Memorial Day? Start planning in January or February. We provide detailed timelines during consultation and keep you updated throughout the construction process.

Monthly pool maintenance in Florida typically runs $100-$200 for professional service, or $50-$100 if you maintain it yourself. Electricity costs average $50-$150 monthly depending on equipment efficiency—upgrading to a variable-speed pump can reduce this by 70%. Chemical costs run $30-$60 monthly, though salt systems reduce this significantly. We install energy-efficient equipment and provide new pool owner training to help minimize your ongoing costs while keeping your pool pristine.
