What to Expect: The Pool Building Process
Sterling Pools
At Sterling Pools, we believe that building your dream pool should feel exciting—not overwhelming. Here’s a simple step-by-step look at how we bring your vision to life:
1. Initial Consultation & Design
It all starts with a conversation. We’ll meet with you to learn about your space, your style, and how you plan to use your pool. Together, we’ll design a layout that fits your needs and complements your backyard.
2. Permits & Planning
Before construction begins, we’ll make sure all the necessary permits and approvals meet local building codes to ensure a smooth pool build.
3. Site Prep & Excavation
Watch your backyard start to transform! We carefully prepare and dig the pool area according to your custom design. Yes, your yard might look like a bit of a disaster during this phase, but don't worry... it won't stay that way for long. The mess means progress!
4. Pool Structure
Depending on your pool type:
Fiberglass: We place the pre-formed shell into place.
Vinyl Liner: We assemble the walls and floor, then install your custom liner.
Gunite: We build a rebar framework and spray it with concrete.
5. Plumbing & Electrical
The plumbing and electrical systems are installed that are necessary to run your pool safely and efficiently—think filtration, lighting, heating, and any extra features like fountains or spas.
6. Pool Shell & Surface Finishing
The final surface is applied (if needed), your pool is filled with water, and the chemistry is balanced to perfection. It’s almost time to swim!
7. Decking & Final Touches
From pavers to patios and coping(edge of your pool) to landscaping, we complete the area around your pool to create a space that feels like a private retreat.
8. Walkthrough & Handoff
We guide you through how everything works, answer your questions, and hand over your new pool—ready for years of memories!
