What to Expect

(4-6 Weeks to finalize) Creating the backyard of your dreams begins with the perfect design. We provide 3-D renderings to help you visualize what your new pool will look like. Once you have decided on the exact layout, the ideas are sent to Engineering to be blueprinted. Upon your approval, the plans are sealed and are ready to be submitted to your City’s Building Department. 4-6 weeks to finalize plans is an approximate time frame and depends on the Engineer’s Back Log, the extensity of the project and the number of revisions that may or may not arise during collaboration.

(2-4 weeks to issuance) Your City’s Building Department will review the submitted plans and upon satisfaction of their requirements, a building permit will be issued. The 2–4-week time frame is an approximation and entirely depends on the City’s requirements and the extensity of the build.

Once the permits are issued, we work with you and your schedule to commence construction when it’s most convenient. 

The pool interior is framed and form boards are inserted to hold back surrounding earth.

Steel Rebar is placed vertically and horizontally inside the earth to create the backbone or cage of the pool.  These underworking’s ensure the maximum reliability and integrity of the pool structure. Steel work usually takes 1-2 weeks however steel is built around the system of your pool like the lights, plumbing, water features and other backyard amenities so the time it takes to build the structure, depends upon the intricacies of the design.

Plumbing lines for main drain, skimmer and return lines are installed.

All filtration equipment, including any water features or optional equipment that has been selected is plumbed in.

Selected waterline tile is installed. Coping (the material that is used to cap the pool shell and transition between pool and deck) is installed.

Selected Decking is installed. Lead time on acquiring material from manufacturers and scope of job determine deck installation time.

(if applicable) Although this is not a service that Custom Pool Builders Inc provides, we do work with reliable installers and can coordinate with them to get screen work scheduled. Completion times will depend on a company’s availability and the scope of the job.

Safety is our top priority on the job site, just as it is with your family. We understand the high amount of trust necessary in hiring a company to mitigate the potential risk and hazards that come with being new pool owners.  

Plastering the pool is the last step prior to filling the pool with water. As water is filling, the surface immediately begins to cure. It is important that the surface is consistently brushed for the first 30 days to ensure that the cream (residue from plaster as it cures) is continually brushed from the walls and flushed out through the filtration system. If you are installing a salt system, no salt will be added, and no vacuum will be put into the pool for 30 days to avoid damaging the new surface.
