Frequently asked questions
Why build a custom pool vs. a pre-designed pool?
When you really think about it, designing and building a custom pool can offer many benefits, from owning a pool unlike anyone in the neighborhood to bringing all your ideas and dreams to life. Features such as a swim-up bar, fountain, waterfall, or grottos have never been more achievable. What’s more satisfying that looking out and saying, “I designed that, and fulfilled a lifelong dream.”
Is my backyard big enough?
Florida Aquatics Custom Pools has built pools in all shapes and sizes. Our design and engineering teams can work with the most challenging properties. You will be surprised by our innovative solutions that can turn your dreams into a backyard oasis. But give us a call and we’ll walk you through the possibilities.
How should I decide on the design of my pool?
Each property has unique features that should be considered when your pool is being designed. So does your family! At your request, a design expert from Florida Aquatics Custom Pools will meet with you at your home to discuss your pool needs and desires. We’ll ask you how you intend to use your pool. Is exercise important? How about family use? What about location? Where will the pool look best when viewed from your home? Our design experts may take photographs, video, or sketches of your yard. Then they’ll prepare a custom design that fits your needs!
What factors affect the cost of building a swimming pool?
Prices can be affected slightly by ease of access onto your property, demolition requirements prior to construction, and local permit costs. The size and design of the pool will of course affect the cost too, but not as much as you might think. Much of the variation in price is based on what is called “hardscape.” Hardscape is what is placed around your pool to enhance its design. The size and materials used in your deck, patios, waterfalls, gazebos, planter walls, and other features can be simple or sensational. As the customer, you have the greatest influence on your total budget as you control the design of your pool’s hardscape.
Will a pool increase the value of my home?
Yes. Most studies show that a pool will increase the value of your home anywhere between 7% and 15%, depending on where your house is located, and the type of custom pool you build. It will also continue to increase in value throughout the years, just like your home.

How long does it take to build a pool?
It is hard to predict an exact time frame for pool construction due to many variables, such as weather, local building inspections, and the project complexity. But you can be confident that the Florida Aquatics Custom Pools team will work to build you the most amazing custom pool in the shortest time frame possible. But keep in mind that our number one priority is quality, and we will not cut corners to meet a timetable.
I’ve heard that having a swimming pool can be a lot of work. How much work is involved in owning and caring for a swimming pool?
In the past, pool maintenance was more of a chore. But with today’s technology and conveniences, owning a swimming pool is easier than owning a car! Pool chemical testing and maintenance, cleaning, and pre programmed filtration and heating can all be automated. Automatic pool cleaners and various sanitizing devices also make your pool simple to maintain. Your only concern will be finding more time to enjoy your pool or spa
How do I get started?
The easiest way to get started is to give us a call to set up an appointment for us to sit down and visit with you at your home or our office. During our visit, we will ask questions to find out how you intend to use your pool, and what your visions are. Our experienced team will help you put your concepts into designs, and everything will evolve from there, including how much your pool will cost.
Do your pools come with a warranty?
Florida Aquatics Custom Pools is confident in the custom pools we build and we offer a warranty that backs it up.
