What customers ask before signing the contract.
How long does a new pool take?
A standard 14x28 gunite pool runs 8 to 12 weeks from permit pull to startup. Larger custom builds with spas, water features, or hardscape can stretch to 14 to 16 weeks. You get a written milestone schedule before any work starts.
Do you handle permits?
Yes, in-house. We pull every permit through Sherman Oaks Building & Safety and LA County. Permit cost is itemized in your quote, no markup.
What kind of warranty do I get?
2-year workmanship warranty on the build, 5-year warranty on most plaster finishes, and manufacturer warranty pass-through on all equipment.
How much does a new pool cost in Los Angeles?
A standard 14x28 gunite pool with a mid-range finish starts around $85,000. Adding a spa, water features, or hardscape moves that number up, often into the $120,000 to $200,000 range depending on lot access and design complexity.
Do you design the pool or do I need my own architect?
We handle design in-house for most residential projects, including engineered structural drawings. For estate-scale builds with a landscape architect already involved, we coordinate directly with their plans rather than duplicating the design work.
What is the biggest cause of delay on a new pool build?
Permit turnaround and material lead time, not labor. Sherman Oaks and LA County plan check can take 2 to 6 weeks depending on volume, and specialty tile or coping can add weeks if it is not in domestic stock. We build both into your written schedule up front.
Can you build on a sloped or hillside lot?
Yes, this is common across Studio City, Encino, and the hillside neighborhoods we serve. Hillside builds require additional engineering for retaining structure and drainage, which we scope and permit as part of the design phase.
Do you handle the landscaping around the new pool too?
Hardscape, decking, and structural elements like retaining walls and planters are part of what we build. Softscape (plants, irrigation, turf) is typically handled by a landscaper we can recommend, coordinated so the timelines line up.
What is the payment schedule on a new construction project?
Milestone-based, tied to phases like permit issuance, gunite, tile and decking, and final startup. The full schedule and percentages are laid out in your signed contract before any deposit is collected.
