Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a custom pool take to build in San Antonio?

Most projects take 10–16 weeks from excavation to startup, depending on design complexity, inspections, weather, and materials. Your project manager maps milestones up front and provides weekly updates so you know exactly what’s next and when.

What is the shell cure time before interior finish?

After gunite/shotcrete, the shell typically cures for about 28 days. This allows moisture to dissipate and strength to develop, helping your interior finish bond properly and last longer. We’ll maintain a light watering schedule and monitor the shell during this period.

What affects pool cost the most?

Size and shape, soil conditions, interior finish (pebble, quartz, plaster), decking square footage, water/fire features, and equipment drive cost. Access constraints, utility runs, and permitting can also affect labor and timeline. We provide transparent allowances and options before construction.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. We prepare site plans, coordinate with your HOA when needed, and manage city/county permits and inspections. Our team schedules each inspection around critical phases to keep the project compliant and moving forward.

Which interior finishes do you offer, and how do I choose?

We install pebble, quartz, and plaster finishes. Pebble is highly durable with rich texture; quartz offers a smooth feel with added hardness; plaster is classic and budget-friendly. We’ll match finish, color, and texture to your design goals, maintenance preferences, and budget.

What popular features do clients add?

Common upgrades include tanning ledges, LED lighting, water features (sheers, bubblers), automated controls, and energy-efficient pumps/heaters. These elevate usability and operating efficiency while adding visual impact to your backyard.

Do you offer ongoing pool service & maintenance? What’s included?

Yes. Our plans cover weekly or biweekly cleaning, water chemistry balancing, skimming/brushing, basket service, filter checks/backwashing, seasonal tune-ups, and proactive equipment inspections. We also handle repairs to protect performance and warranties.

Do you service pools you didn’t build?

We do. After an initial evaluation of water chemistry and equipment condition, we’ll recommend a maintenance plan and any needed repairs so your system runs efficiently and safely.

What warranties are included?

You’ll receive manufacturer warranties on equipment and our workmanship warranty. During startup, we review maintenance steps, recommended water chemistry ranges, and warranty terms so you know how to keep coverage intact.

How do I get started?

Book a design consult. We’ll align scope, features, and budget, provide concepts/3D visuals, and outline a phased plan with permitting, milestones, and target completion. From there, we finalize selections and schedule the build.
