How much does a custom pool typically cost?
Smaller custom pools can start in the low $60,000s, with pricing increasing based on the size, design, site conditions, materials, and features selected. Adding a spa, water features, additional decking, upgraded finishes, or outdoor living features can also affect the overall investment.
Because every Pratt Pools project is custom designed, we provide pricing based on the actual pool and backyard you want to build rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
What is included in a Pratt Pools pool quote?
Every Pratt Pools quote is built around your specific design. We consider the materials, pool equipment, finishes, features, decking, and construction costs required to complete the project shown in your design.
Our goal is to provide clear and comprehensive pricing upfront so you understand what is included before construction begins. We work hard to account for the details from the beginning and minimize unexpected extras or surprises during the build.
What type of pools does Pratt Pools build?
Pratt Pools designs and builds custom gunite swimming pools and spas. From smaller pools designed to maximize limited backyard space to larger resort-style pools with spas, tanning ledges, water features, and custom decking, each project is designed specifically for the homeowner and property.
We also renovate existing swimming pools and can incorporate the pool into a complete outdoor living design.
What pool equipment brands does Pratt Pools use?
Pratt Pools primarily uses Jandy pool equipment on our custom pool builds. Depending on the pool design, the equipment package may include variable-speed pumps, filtration, heating, automation, lighting, and other components.
We size and select the equipment around the requirements of each pool, with an emphasis on reliability, efficiency, performance, and ease of use.
Can Pratt Pools build pools, patios and outdoor kitchens together?
Yes. Pratt Pools can design and build your custom pool, spa, covered patio, outdoor kitchen, decking, and other outdoor living features as one complete project.
Designing the entire backyard together allows us to coordinate the layout, construction, materials, colors, and finishes so everything feels intentional and complements your home.
Do you handle engineering and permitting?
Yes. Pratt Pools helps coordinate the engineering and permitting required for your project. Requirements vary by property and local jurisdiction, so we determine what is needed based on your specific design and location.
Our goal is to take care of these details before construction begins and make the process as straightforward as possible for the homeowner.
Do you help with HOA approvals?
Yes. If your neighborhood requires HOA approval, Pratt Pools can assist with the submittal process. We can provide the pool plans, drawings, material information, and other project details needed for your HOA to review the proposed work.
Because every HOA has different requirements and review timelines, we recommend beginning the approval process as early as possible.
Do you build pools in small backyards?
Yes. Pratt Pools designs custom pools for both large and small backyards. We evaluate the available space along with property easements, setbacks, access, and other site requirements to determine the best layout for your property.
When necessary, we can also work with an engineer to evaluate options for positioning a pool closer to the home while meeting applicable structural and permitting requirements. Our goal is to make the most of the space you have.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners who would like to finance their pool or outdoor living project. Financing can provide additional flexibility when planning a custom pool, patio, outdoor kitchen, or complete backyard project.
