You’re not just getting a hole filled with water. You’re getting a backyard where your family actually wants to spend time—where summer evenings happen around the pool instead of inside staring at screens.
The difference shows up in how the coping sits flush with your patio. How the grading keeps water flowing away from your foundation. How the electrical and plumbing pass inspection the first time because someone who knows Suffolk County codes did the work.
When the project’s finished, you’re swimming. Not calling someone back to fix the tile that’s already cracking or dealing with a deck that wasn’t poured right. The whole space works together—pool, patio, landscaping—because one team planned it that way from the start.
We’ve been working in Westhampton Beach and throughout Suffolk County for years. We’re licensed, insured, and we know exactly what Nassau and Suffolk building departments expect when you submit permits.
That matters more than you’d think. A contractor who doesn’t know that Suffolk County requires specific setbacks or that certain coastal areas need dewatering systems will cost you weeks and thousands in revisions.
We handle the full build—excavation, plumbing, electrical, masonry, landscaping. You’re not coordinating five different crews or wondering who’s responsible when something doesn’t line up. One team. One timeline. One point of contact.
First, we walk your property and talk through what you actually want. Not what looks good in a brochure—what works for your yard, your budget, and how you’ll use it. If your grading won’t support a certain design or your soil needs extra prep, you’ll know before we break ground.
Next, we handle permits. Suffolk County requires specific documentation, and if you’re in a coastal zone, there are additional steps. We submit everything, coordinate with the building department, and keep the process moving. Permitting typically takes four to six weeks.
Once permits clear, excavation starts. We dig, set plumbing and electrical, pour the shell, and install your coping and tile. If you’re adding pool patio masonry or a concrete pool surround, that happens in coordination with the pool build—not as an afterthought six months later.
The whole process takes six to eight weeks after permits. We schedule inspections, coordinate trades, and make sure everything passes the first time. When we’re done, you’re swimming—not waiting on a punch list that never gets finished.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting design, permits, excavation, plumbing, electrical, pool installation, and finishing work. That includes custom pool coping and tile, whatever decking material you choose—pavers, natural stone, composite—and grading to make sure water drains correctly.
If your yard needs retaining walls to level the space or if you want a pool house, outdoor kitchen, or custom landscaping, we build that too. The whole project gets planned together so everything flows. Your pool patio masonry matches the pool. Your lighting works with the landscaping. It looks like it was designed as one space because it was.
In Westhampton Beach, you’re also dealing with coastal conditions. Soil composition, water tables, and proximity to the ocean all affect how your pool gets built. We account for that during design and excavation so you’re not dealing with settling or drainage issues two years in.
This is how you avoid the nightmare of hiring a pool company that doesn’t do masonry, a mason who doesn’t coordinate with the pool, and a landscaper who shows up after everything’s done and has to work around mistakes.
Permitting takes four to six weeks depending on your town and whether you’re in a special zone. Once permits clear, the actual construction takes six to eight weeks from excavation to final inspection.
Weather affects the timeline, especially during excavation and concrete work. If we hit a week of heavy rain, that pushes things back. But if the project’s planned right and started in spring, you’re swimming by summer.
The bigger delay usually isn’t construction—it’s waiting on permits or dealing with revisions because someone didn’t submit the right paperwork. That’s why working with a local contractor who knows Suffolk County’s process matters. We submit it right the first time.
You’ll need a building permit from Suffolk County, and depending on your property, possibly additional approvals if you’re in a flood zone or near wetlands. If you’re adding electrical or plumbing that ties into your house, those require separate permits too.
Suffolk County also requires a fence or barrier around the pool that meets specific height and gate requirements. That’s part of the permit process, and it gets inspected before you can use the pool.
We handle all of that—pulling permits, submitting plans, coordinating inspections. You don’t need to figure out what Suffolk County wants or spend your day at the building department. We know what they’re looking for, and we make sure your application has it.
Most custom in-ground pools in Suffolk County run between $50,000 and $100,000 depending on size, materials, and what else you’re building. A basic rectangular pool with standard coping and a concrete deck sits on the lower end. A resort-style pool with custom tile, natural stone patio, retaining walls, and landscaping pushes higher.
Permits add another $450 to $1,800 depending on your town. If you’re in a coastal area and need a dewatering system during construction, that’s another $2,500 to $5,000.
The cost swings based on decisions you make early—pool size, decking material, whether you’re adding a spa or water features, how much grading and masonry work your yard needs. We walk you through all of that upfront so you know what you’re spending before we start digging.
Yes. Pool coping—the cap around the edge of your pool—needs to be installed correctly or you’ll deal with cracking, shifting, and water getting behind the shell. The decking around your pool also needs proper base prep and grading so water drains away from the pool and your house.
If your yard isn’t level, you’ll likely need retaining walls to create the space for your pool and patio. Those walls need to be built right or they’ll shift and crack as the ground settles.
This is why hiring an in-ground pool company that also does masonry matters. Your coping, patio, and retaining walls get built in coordination with the pool—not as separate projects by different contractors who don’t talk to each other. Everything’s planned to work together, and you’re not dealing with mismatched materials or elevation issues after the fact.
Spring is ideal. If you start planning in winter, get permits submitted in early spring, and break ground in April or May, your pool’s ready by summer.
You can’t pour concrete or excavate when the ground’s frozen, so construction doesn’t happen in winter. Fall works if you’re okay waiting until next summer to swim, but most people want the pool ready for the season.
The other advantage of starting in spring is that contractors aren’t slammed yet. If you wait until June to call, you’re looking at delays just because crews are booked. Plan ahead, and your project stays on schedule.
A well-built pool can increase your home’s value by up to 7%, especially in areas like Westhampton Beach where outdoor living spaces are expected. Buyers looking at homes in the $700,000+ range see pools as a major amenity, not a hassle.
But that only holds true if the pool’s done right. A poorly built pool with drainage issues, cracked coping, or a mismatched patio actually hurts your value because buyers see it as a problem they’ll have to fix.
The investment pays off when the pool looks good, functions correctly, and fits the property. That means proper grading, quality materials, and a design that makes sense for the space—not just the cheapest option that gets water in the ground.
