An Inclusive Installation Process

There are 10 steps in our new pool construction process – each essential for the successful outcome of your project. Perhaps that’s why we prefer to only service pools we’ve built – because we know that comprehensive quality and skilled workmanship during construction means a better pool for years to come. Our inclusive installation process includes key elements like:

  • Site Access, Zoning, Permitting, and HOA Drawings
  • Inclusive allowances for Coping and Fence
  • Coordination of all mechanical subcontractors and services
  • Site preparation and excavation with Bob’s-owned equipment prevents delays
  • Water, system startup, and initial chemical treatments
  • Equipment and maintenance training
  • Coordination of landscaping and masonry subcontractors
  • First winterization and installation of winter pool cover at closing included, as well as first opening

From site preparation to closing your pool at the end of your first year – Bob’s Pool Builders provides an inclusive experience.
