New Pool Construction

Prior to the contract, we evaluate the desired location to check for any grading or elevation issues we might encounter. We also check access (can trucks get in and out) and utility issues.

Upon signing your construction contract, your 1st construction draw down payment is due. You’ll meet at the Patio Pools Design Center to make your color choices such as, tiles, deck color, interior finish colors and screen enclosure for your pool.

The pool area is staked out in preparation for excavation. Please notify your field supervisor if you would like to keep any soil prior to excavation.

Heavy equipment will be brought out to excavate and our work crew will shape the pool area. Steel Rebar is placed in the pool in preparation for the concrete shell. Building inspection is required at this time.

A crew will come out to “shoot the shell”. At this time, a shell payment is due. Pre-grade then follows, equipment will be brought in to grade out the area around the pool where the deck is to be placed. This is done in order to make preparations for installing plumbing, electric, footers and decking.

Your new pool is now taking shape and is over half completed. Due to scheduling it is normal to see a delay before this phase is started. Crews will come in to place the tile, install the brick, form the deck and footers, install the plumbing and some equipment. Prior to the deck work, building, plumbing pressure test and electrical bonding inspection are required at this time.

An electrician will contact you to make an appointment. In most cases the electrician will need access to your electrical panel in order to complete the installation. The electrician will do the electrical work necessary to hook up your pool maintenance equipment.

Your deck surface will be poured. If you have selected pavers, a crew will install the paver base and install the pavers. At this time you will be required to submit the next payment. This phase is especially subject to rain delays.

A texture coat is applied to the deck. Your deck surface will then be sealed with its first coat of acrylic. In order to create a clean finished deck, we wait until all other crews have completed their construction. Only then does the sealing crew return to put down a final coat. This process is especially subject to rain delays.

If you have opted to purchase a screen enclosure and/or child safety fence from us, we will install those items at this time. Because of scheduling and inspections this process can take up to a week to complete. You are legally required to comply with the Child Safety Act. If alarms are to be used, they must be in place and in working order at this time, as a building inspection must be made prior to continuing with construction. The homeowner is responsible for complying with all aspects of the Child Safety Act. Ask your design consultant for additional information. They will be glad to help you.

A crew will come out to grade the access area and yard. Any remaining debris will also be removed at this time.

A highly qualified service technician will contact you to schedule a time to come out and start up all the pool equipment. They will also offer you hands-on instruction to show you how to properly operate, monitor and maintain your pool and equipment. Building inspection is required at this time. Your safety fence and all latches must be attached in order to pass final inspection. At this time we also ask that you live with your pool for approximately 2 weeks and list any concerns. This allows us to come out and handle any concerns all at once.
