Every Phase. Every Cost. No Surprises.

Most pool builders hide the numbers until you're already committed. We publish ours because we'd rather earn your trust before we earn your business.

Phase 1 — Consultation & 3D Design

Your Yard on Screen Before a Single Shovel Moves

We visit your property, take measurements, photograph the grade and drainage, and return with a full 3D render of your pool in your actual yard. You see the finished result before we pull a single permit.

  • On-site yard assessment — grade, drainage, soil type
  • Full 3D pool render in your actual yard via design software
  • Permit-ready drawings included in design fee
  • Material samples brought to your door — coping, tile, plaster
Typical Cost$0 – $1,200
Timeline2–3 Weeks

Phase 2 — Excavation & Steel

The Hole That Changes Your Weekends Forever

Excavation day is when it gets real. Our crew cuts through the clay and limestone, the rebar grid goes in to spec, and you can stand at the edge and see the exact shape of your future pool for the first time.

  • Precision excavation — clay, limestone, caliche handled
  • Rebar grid tied to structural engineering spec
  • Plumbing rough-in and electrical conduit laid
  • City inspection passed before gunite is scheduled
Typical Cost$18,000 – $38,000
Timeline2–4 Weeks

Phase 3 — Gunite, Plaster & Decking

From Shell to the Finish You'll Touch Every Day

Gunite is sprayed, cured, and shaped. Then comes the finish — PebbleTec, plaster, or quartz aggregate. Travertine coping is set. Decking poured. Equipment installed. We fill it, balance it, and hand you the keys.

  • Gunite shell — stronger than poured concrete, lasts 50+ years
  • Finish options: PebbleTec, quartz aggregate, classic plaster
  • Travertine, limestone, or concrete coping — your choice
  • Equipment startup, water chemistry balanced, owner walkthrough
Typical Cost$22,000 – $55,000
