New Pool Construction

Client interview: The most important part of the process begins here; the ideas must be carefully interpreted to understand the client’s needs and wants. Careful attention is key to developing the concept and for the execution of the project to be successful.

Design Phase: We take your ideas and provide you with computerized renderings, videos that will help you visualize the finished product. The most exciting part of the process lies here, and your vision comes to life right before your eyes.

Engineering, Surveying and Permitting: Here is where everyone falls asleep; this is the boring part of the project, but we can’t do it without them. They get to tell us where and how to do our job keeping everything in perspective, while emphasizing the highest level of safety, efficiency, and up to code.

Dig-Form-Steel: Now we are excited again, a day or two before we dig, the entire Pool layout is spray painted to allow us to reconvene and possibly change our minds, just kidding. Once any possible underground utilities have been identified, we move on to digging, the dirt can either be left in place and removed depending on the individual needs of each client. Sometimes water must be dealt with before we can begin the Form and Steel phase, and we are ready for that. The Wood Form creates the boundary of the final construction dimensions and provides support for the Pools Steel Reinforcement. Once completed, the rough plumbing and bonding wires are installed and inspections arescheduled.

Concrete Day: We select Shotcrete for our Pools, and we believe that nothing beats its performance and longevity. A Highly skilled crew jumps into the hole and carefully sprays the prescribed thickness to all the areas, walls, benches, steps, floor. Before long the spray ends, and the Pool now shows all its character, a day or two later, the wood framing is removed, and the careful process of backfilling and compaction begins. Depending on the municipality, a Spot Survey will be ordered and performed to comply with their requirements.

Plumbing: According to plans, the pipes are all arranged and laid out from the Pool to the Equipment Pad. Carefully ensuring that all of them are properly prepped, glued and routed, a gauge and manifold assembly is attached so that a pressure test can discover if there is anything wrong before they are covered with dirt. The pressure is not removed until the deck is installed, reassuring us there are no leaks. More inspections.

Coping and Tile: After the deck is compacted and the Pool’s bonding inspection is passed, we proceed with the Pool and Spa Coping and tile work. Extreme care is taken to ensure that the surfaces are exceptionally straight and true prior to installation, waterproofing is then selected according to the type of tile that will be installed. Not all tiles are made the same and must be properly addressed to avoid any future delamination and or efflorescence.

Deck Installation: Depending on the Deck material chosen, we will select the appropriate layers and types of aggregate needed to ensure that they maintain their level and appearance for years to come. During our final walk through the deck is washed and if it’s a paver deck, sand is brushed into the grout lines to complete its polished look. We do not Seal our Decks, but we can recommend others.

The Cage and or the Fence go up: Within days prior to the deck final installation, our Aluminum contractor will visit the jobsite to take measurements and begin the assembly for the roof sections. Once the mortar has set along the edge of the Deck, the Screen enclosure goes up, bonging is connected and it’s ready for inspection. If fencing was selected, it would be installed as soon as the paver crew is done. More inspections.

Electrical and Equipment installation: Depending on several factors the electrical work and the subpanel may have already been installed ahead of time. The equipment is then plumbed and hooked to the electrical service. Install alarms at all applicable openings according to code. More inspections.

We are done: The Pool will have been acid washed, waterproofed and prepped up to two days prior to the plaster application, on site, the plaster crew will mix the requested color and material for your Pool and Spa interior, and in the blink of an eye, your Pool is ready for water. If you elected to purchase tanker truck water, they would have been scheduled ahead of time and within a couple of hours your Backyard Dream has become a reality. If you choose to fill your pool with city water and a couple of houses, we will see you in a day or two. This method is not recommended as it is known to create issues that may not be covered by the plaster manufacturer. See us for more information regarding city water.

The Pool Start up: We test each truck of water that pulls up to your house during the filling process to identify what needs to be added to make it perform as needed. The curing process for your plaster has strict requirements that must be met at the very minute it begins to fill your Pool, and we take this process very seriously. Your Pool plaster will be the best it could possibly be under our care, please ask us how.

Salt or Not: If you choose a Saltwater Pool, we will add it on day #30, this is directly recommended by the National Plasterers Council and we adhere to it. Time to enjoy your Dream Pool.

Congratulations you are now the proud owner of one of the best Pools money can buy, and we guarantee it.
