Custom Pool Construction & Renovation FAQs
Planning a new custom swimming pool or high-end pool renovation involves more than you might think. You’re likely to have questions along the way that you didn’t consider in the beginning.
Watters Aquatech has compiled detailed answers below to the most common pool construction FAQs and questions we receive about the custom pool design and pool building process in Las Vegas. If we don’t answer your question here, give us a call or contact us online. We’re always happy to help you with your pool project.
What services do you offer?
We offer custom pool building and pool renovation services to homeowners throughout the Vegas Valley, including non-pool features like fireplaces and firepits, bars, entertainment centers, and more. We also offer pool repair services to existing customers and reliable warranties designed to protect your investment for years to come.
How can I make my pool safer for my children and pets?
When it comes to your family, safety is our top priority. Here are a few ways our team keeps you and your guests safe:
- Per current pool building codes, any door that opens into the pool area is required to have a door alarm.
- Building codes also require all pool gates to be top latched and swing outwards to prevent child access from outside the pool area.
- All pools are required to have a bench or method of egress in the deep end for pool access out of the deep end.
- For customers with little kids around who want additional peace of mind, we can also provide a removable mesh baby fence to serve as another barrier between the pool and your home.
What is the process for choosing materials for my pool design?
Our custom pool journey follows a meticulous eight-step design and construction process. Once we get a rendition of your design complete, we’ll meet so you can review your proposed design. During that meeting, we’ll discuss materials and color preferences. We’ll also propose materials alongside your design that can be adjusted to create a pool that’s uniquely yours.
Who will oversee my project?
Dustin Watters and his focused, in-house team and vendor partners will oversee your project until completion to produce the best result.
How Long does it take to build a custom pool?
No two pool projects are the same. Factors such as pool size, materials used, and finishing touches will determine the length of your project. But remember: quality work takes time. We work hard to produce the best possible result. Get in touch with us to discuss your new pool build or pool renovation and receive an estimated timeline.
If you have questions about the anticipated timeline for your project, feel free to contact us.
Do you offer other backyard accessories?
Yes. We specialize in complete backyard transformations. In addition to custom pool builds, we can design and install custom outdoor kitchens, luxury spas, water fountains, custom tile work, and fire features.
Our goal is to create a seamless outdoor living environment that acts as an extension of your home.
Do you offer pool renovations?
Absolutely. We specialize in high-end custom pool renovations for homeowners looking to modernize an existing space. Whether you want to update your tile and plaster, add a new spa, or completely re-imagine the shape and flow of your current pool, our team has the expertise to transform your old pool into a modern masterpiece.
What do I look for when hiring a pool builder in Las Vegas?
When looking for contractors for custom pool builds, look for a proven track record of local experience and specialized craftsmanship. Ensure they are fully licensed and bonded in Nevada. A quality builder should offer a clear, multi-step construction process, provide a portfolio of high-end projects, and have a reputation for hands-on project management.
How much does it cost to build a pool in Las Vegas?
The investment for a custom pool build varies depending on the complexity, materials, and backyard features. Generally, a new pool build in the Las Vegas valley can range from $40,000 to $150,000+. Factors such as elevation changes and premium finishes will influence the final price. We provide detailed, transparent quotes during our design consultation to help you plan your dream backyard.
How often should my new pool build be cleaned?
To maintain the pristine condition of your custom pool build, we recommend a light cleaning (skimming debris and checking baskets) at least once a week. Because the Las Vegas climate can be dusty and windy, a deeper cleaning of the filtration system and a chemical balance check should be performed weekly to ensure your water remains crystal clear.
