Services
Gunite Pool Construction
Custom gunite pools start with rebar framework sprayed with concrete mixture for exceptional durability. We offer multiple plaster finishes, tile options, and coping styles to create unique designs. Our process includes site layout, excavation, plumbing installation, and final water balancing for immediate use.
Vinyl Pool Installation
Custom vinyl liner pools feature smooth surfaces and budget-friendly pricing. We provide precise measurements, wall panel assembly, and installation of steps, skimmers, and pool decks. Available in traditional shapes or fully customized designs with various liner patterns and thickness options.
Pool Renovations
We specialize in re-plastering gunite pools, replacing vinyl liners, and updating pool equipment. Services include deck repair, coping replacement, salt system conversions, and leak detection. Our team restores aging pools to like-new condition while maintaining structural integrity.
3D Design Consultation
Using Pool Studios CAD software, we create 3D visualizations of your outdoor space before construction begins. This process integrates property surveys to show design elements from every angle, helping clients make informed decisions about pool placement and hardscape features.
Structural Hardscapes
We build retaining walls, fire pits, patios, and outdoor kitchens that complement pool installations. Our team uses limestone and modular block systems for durable, aesthetically pleasing structures that enhance property value and outdoor living spaces.
