Our Pool Building Process
Consultation & Design
Before we begin the consulting process, we need you to provide us a survey of your property. Once we have the survey, we can get you scheduled to meet with one of our pool professionals at your property. This initial meeting is to get a sense for your wants, needs, style, and the space we will be working with. After this meeting at your property, our team will begin working on your design. Upon completion of the conceptual drawings and renderings, you will be invited to our showroom for a visual presentation, where you will also choose materials. Learn more about our free consultation and design services in our blog:
Build
We ensure each project is built to the exact vision of the original design concept! All projects are managed by our trained staff whose goals are to manage timeframes, quality, and most of all, the client's expectations. Our team is currently building new pool projects in 8-12 weeks after we break ground. Learn more more about the different building phases in our blog:
Permitting
After your contract has been signed, we begin assembling your pool permit package. We utilize a system called BuilderTrend, which will provide you access to each step of the process and a schedule of what is occurring.
Timeframes do vary for reviewing permit applications at each municipality . On average it usually takes 4-6 weeks with 2 weeks preparing documents prior to submittal. Once approved, the fun begins within approximately one week. Learn more about the permitting process in our blog:

Check out our blog post diving deeper into the cost of a pool project: "How Much Does a Concrete Pool Cost?"
I have a small backyard.
Can I still have a pool built?
You can absolutely have a pool built in a small backyard! Small or uniquely shaped properties just require some flexibility with the design as we work around your county's regulations. Small pools, cocktail pools, plunge pools, and spools have been a popular trend in recent years as people look to fit more than a pool in their outdoor living space!
Do your employ subcontractors?
Island Way Pools has in-house crews to tackle most stages of your custom outdoor living project. We only subcontract your custom pool's electrical, plumbing, and screen enclosure. Our subcontractors are all licensed in the state of Florida and have been working alongside us on pool projects for over 6 years. Check out some of our pool projects to see the quality of our teams work: "Our Portfolio"
Does adding a swimming pool increase my homes value?
On average in the Florida, adding a swimming pool to your home can increase its value by 5-8%. The biggest impact a pool can have on homes in Florida though is how fast it will sell! Home with pools tend to sell faster. Especially in high-demand areas with warmer weather for most of the year... sounds exactly like homes in Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties.
How long does it take to build a pool?
On average a custom pool project takes 4 months from the start of permitting to you being able to swim. After you have your initial design and have made your material selections, our Director of Sales Zach can let you know if you any aspect of your project may affect this timeline. Check out our blog for a deep dive into the pool building timeline: "How Long Does It Take To Build A Pool?"
Will my pool or outdoor living project come with a warranty?

During the installation of your pool, your project manager will ensure all of your equipment is registered for warranty. Check out our warranty page to learn more: "Warranty & Service Request"
Will you submit plans to my HOA?
Our in-house permitting team will not only submit all paperwork with your local municipality but, will also put together a pool package to submit to your HOA as well! All we will ask of you is to send us your communities rules and regulations so we can ensure we submit all the proper documents. With many communities in the Tampa Bay Area, we have experience submitting plans with their HOAs.
Will I be taught how to
operate my pool equipment?
After your pool project is complete and has been filled with water, your dedicated project manager will go through "Pool School" with you to ensure you know how to operate all of your pool equipment. In addition to pool school, we provide a 30-day pool start-up service to guarantee that pool starts out properly balanced and your pool finish is cured properly.
