Our process involves a detailed and meticulous design and construction plan that insures everything goes smoothly from start to finish. We have the largest service team in New England and have been making people smile from Bar Harbor to Nantucket with our advanced pool construction process.
“We’re building pools that are completely automated. These pools dispense the proper chemicals automatically, clean themselves automatically and the filtration systems will go a whole season without having to be cleaned. We offer the latest technology, filtration, salt chlorination and plumbing available today. And, our entire team is CPO certified. The training is an ongoing thing, we always keep our staff on top of all the latest advances.”

Here’s our process in 10 easy steps:
Step 1: Design Consultation
We’ll set up a consultation and come over to meet with you and discuss various options. We’ll take pictures, drawings and measurements of your backyard, which will be converted into a 3D drawing of your property. You’ll be able to see exactly how your new pool will fit into your landscape with your home in the drawing so you can really see what you’re getting. This is a critical step in getting just what you want.
Step 2: Layout
Once we’ve settled on the size, shape and placement of your new pool, we’ll start the planning process and paint it out on the ground.
Step 3: Excavate
Once the plan has been approved, excavation begins! We’ll carefully dig and trim to specifications, remove stumps and clay and bring in crushed stone.
Step 4: Plumb
We install the skimmers, return lines, main drains, and any other plumbing lines to the respective equipment designed for your pool.
Step 5: Structural Steel
Once the site is prepped with crush stone, structural steel is laid in.
Step 6: Gunite
Once the site is properly prepared, gunite is blown in with compressed air. Water is added at the nozzle adding just enough water so that it doesn’t weaken the structural integrity. Fun fact: Gunite offers almost twice the strength as concrete!
Step 7: Tile Preparation
The opening for your pool will be capped and prepped with mortar for the hand-crafted tile of your choice to be placed within.
Step 8: Deck Construction
Concrete forms will be constructed around your pool according to our original design specifications.
Step 9: Surface Finishing
A mixture of white cement, limestone and marble is sprayed over the surface area.
Step 10: Just Add Water!
Now you can begin to enjoy your new pool with friends and family!
