Design & Build Process

As professional outdoor designers, we know every project must start with detailed development. We have developed this process and have refined our methods over the years to result in near perfection. We invite you to experience it.

OUR
PROCESS

After a brief phone conversation or e-mail correspondence, we will obtain basic project information and schedule our initial consultation. At this consultation, we will review the proposed property and gain knowledge about your personal requests and ideas. Your consultant will also provide detailed recommendations after their initial view and present you with Custom Pool Pros’ extensive portfolio. We will also walk you through our industry-leading installation process, giving you a complete understanding of how your project will be completed.

PHASE 1

SITE EVALUATION

Custom Pools Pros firmly believes in the importance of a detailed site analysis.  We will request the site survey to evaluate your property for your project. We will also review several pictures of the property to understand how we will meet your needs. After this we schedule a call to walk through your project needs and budget.

PHASE 3

AGREEMENT

PHASE 4
