Our 14-Stage Pool Construction Process

Professional Pool Company uses a documented, stage-by-stage build system so your project stays organized, compliant, and predictable — from engineering to final pool school.

Stage 1 — Engineering & Permitting

We confirm site constraints, finalize design details, and prepare engineered plans for permit submission.

• Survey review + layout feasibility
• Engineered plan set
• Permit submission + tracking

Stage 2 — Layout

We mark your pool and deck footprint on-site to confirm placement before excavation.

• Set elevations + reference points
• Confirm access and setbacks
• Homeowner confirmation

Stage 3 — Excavation

We excavate to engineered depths and prep the base for steel and plumbing.

• Dig to profile (3’–6’ or as designed)
• Haul-off / spoil management
• Jobsite safety setup

Stage 4 — Steel & Main Drains

Steel is installed to spec and main drains are set for safe circulation.

• Rebar cage installed + tied
• Main drains set (VGB compliant)
• Bonding prep as required

Stage 5 — Pre-Plumbing

We run plumbing lines and set suction/returns for performance and serviceability.

• Skimmer + suction lines
• Returns + features (if selected)
• Pressure test prep

Stage 6 — Gunite

The structural shell is applied at high PSI to create the pool’s long-term foundation.

• Shell shot + shaped
• Benches / steps / sunshelf formed
• Curing guidance provided

Stage 7 — Pre-Grade & Equipment Set

We prep grades and set equipment locations so everything fits and drains correctly.

• Equipment pad location verified
• Rough grades established
• Utility coordination

Stage 8 — Tile & Coping / Cantilever

Waterline tile and coping/cantilever are installed for finish quality and clean lines.

• Tile installed + leveled
• Coping/cantilever formed + poured
• Alignment checks

Stage 9 — Decking

Decking is installed per the approved selection (concrete acrylic, pavers, travertine, etc.).

• Bond wire as required
• Drainage + slope checks
• Finish surface installed

Stage 10 — Electrical & Bonding

Electrical connections and bonding are completed to code so the system is safe and reliable.

• Bonding verification
• GFCI requirements met
• Equipment power hookup

Stage 11 — Screen (If Applicable)

If your project includes a screen enclosure, it’s installed to engineered wind-load requirements.

• Footers / tie-ins (if needed)
• Structure install
• Door hardware checks

Stage 12 — Safety Requirements

We confirm required Florida safety barriers (fence, alarms, etc.) are in place.

• Barrier compliance check
• Alarm / latch verification
• Inspection readiness

Stage 13 — Interior Finish & Startup

Interior finish is applied, the pool is filled, equipment is started, and water is balanced.

• Finish applied + fill coordination
• Startup + chemical balance
• Pool school + care guidance

Stage 14 — Final Inspection & Orientation

We coordinate final inspections and complete your final orientation walkthrough.

• Final inspection scheduling
• Punch list closeout
• Owner manuals in Client Portal
