Process

Construction

The pool construction process can be daunting if you don't know what to expect, but we'll be by your side every step of the way while personally ensuring that each phase is completed to the highest standards you deserve.

1 preparation

We meet with you to find out what you are looking for and answer all of your questions. We'll discuss the details and ideas you have for your outdoor space, then walk you through the process from beginning to end to better understand what to expect.

2 design

After our initial consultation, we combine your ideas with our design experience and prepare a detailed drawing of your property showing you the exact location and layout of your swimming pool area.

3 Evacuation

This step starts by staking out the area of your new pool based on the agreed design. Once you have approved the layout, we will begin digging. Our expert contractors will use the latest equipment to evacuate your pool and get it ready for the rest of the construction.

4 steel reinforcement

Once the area has been excavated, we'll create the supporting structure or bones of your pool using reinforced steel.

5 Plumbing

To keep your pool sparkling clean and purified, we take advantage of the most efficient equipment on the market today to design your perfect pool pad.

6 Gunite

We use a special mix of gunite applied under the high pressure to bind tightly around the steel. These results will give your pool ultimate strength for long-lasting enjoyment.

7 Tile and Coping

Coping installed around your swimming pool is professionally set in place and leveled. Tile is also carefully placed and leveled to the inside of your swimming pool, giving it a beautiful finished look. Giving it a beautifully finished look.

8 Electrical

We use only a certified licensed electrician to wire the main electrical service to your equipment.

9 Deck

We have a large selection of deck surfaces and colors to compliment your home and make the perfect finish to suit your dream swimming pool area.

10 Plaster

The last step in the construction of your swimming pool is the application of the plaster, which is hand-troweled, waterproof finish.

11 Pool School

After your swimming pool is filled with water, we will teach you about the operation and care of your pool and the installed equipment.

12 Enjoy!

Now that your pool is done, it's time for you and your family and friends to just jump in and enjoy.

What Our Clients Say

  • Rockstars of the pool world. We bought our house in 2018 and it had a pool that was designed and built by FCP in 08 or 12 either way it is not only beautiful but it is built rock solid. They have now taken over the weekly maintenance and it is worth every penny. We went through several services before coming to them and its a world of difference and when maintenance needs to be done on the equipment they know the pool since they built it. If you are thinking about getting a really well designed and built pool installed these are your folks. And if you have a pool that needs some love they are the folks as well.
