NEW POOL BUILDS
CUSTOM POOL AND SPA CONSTRUCTION DESIGNED AND BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP THROUGHOUT JACKSONVILLE AND NORTHEAST FLORIDA
LICENSED AND INSURED FLORIDA POOL CONTRACTOR - CPC1460880
A new pool should feel intentional—from the way it’s designed to the way it’s built and used for years to come. Every decision, from layout and materials to features and equipment, plays a role in how your pool performs and how it fits your home.
At Scott’s Pools & Spas, we design and build custom pools with a focus on quality, function, and long-term value—guiding you through the entire process with clear communication and expert execution.
WHAT WE DO
HOW WE DO IT
STEP 1
Initial Call & Property Review
We start with a phone call to understand your goals, timeline, and budget. During this call, we request an up-to-date property survey and schedule an on-site design consultation.
STEP 2
On-Site Design Consultation
We meet at your property to discuss layout, size, shape, features, and overall vision. This meeting is about alignment — understanding your priorities and making sure we’re a good fit.
STEP 3
Concept Design & Proposal
We create a free 3D design and detailed proposal outlining scope, features, and pricing. From here, we fine-tune the design together — prioritizing what matters most and adjusting based on budget.
STEP 4
Contract Signing & Finish Selections
Once the design and proposal are approved, we meet at a showroom or display space to finalize finish selections such as tile, decking etc. The construction contract is signed, and the initial deposit is collected. All remaining payments are progress-based, not paid upfront.
STEP 5
Engineering & Permitting
After the deposit is received, our engineering team prepares and stamps the required plans. We submit all documentation to the county for permitting. This phase can be quiet at times due to county review timelines, but progress continues behind the scenes.
STEP 6
Construction Phase
Once permits are approved, construction begins. This typically includes:
Pre-site prep and sod removal, layout and forming, excavation, steel, plumbing, structural work, shell, tile, coping, footers, decking, equipment, enclosures, interior surface, pool fill, startup, and pool orientation.
STEP 7
Startup, Orientation & Pool School
After construction is complete, we balance the water, start up all equipment, walk you through automation and maintenance basics, and ensure everything is operating as designed.
STEP 8
Final Closeout
We complete final inspections, complete a final walkthrough with the client, collect the remaining balance, document the finished project with photos, and officially close out the build.
WHY CHOOSE
SCOTT’S POOLS & SPAS
Because how your pool is designed and built matters long after construction is complete. We focus on doing things correctly — with clear communication, proper execution, and long-term performance in mind.
Clear Communication Throughout
You’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and why. We believe transparency and communication are just as important as the work itself.
A Thoughtful, Practical Approach
We take the time to understand each pool and situation, focusing on solutions that make sense rather than rushing through jobs or applying one-size-fits-all fixes.
WE'RE NOT THE CHEAPEST OPTION - AND WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BE
WE'RE FOR THE HOMEOWNERS WHO WANT IT DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

FINANCING
A new pool is a major project, and every homeowner approaches it differently. For clients who prefer to explore financing, we can connect you with established third-party providers once your design, scope, and overall budget are clearly defined. Financing is never required and is discussed only after your project is properly planned.
COMMON qUESTIONS
HOW LONG DOES A NEW POOL BUILD TAKE?
