Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Gunite Pools

How do I start the process of building a pool?

The first step is a conversation about your backyard, your goals, and what you want your pool to become. We will learn about your property, discuss ideas, and help determine the right direction for your project.

What happens during the first consultation?

We visit with you to understand how you want to use your outdoor space, discuss design options, review your property, and answer your questions. This helps us create a pool plan that fits your home and lifestyle.

Do I need to know exactly what kind of pool I want?

No. Many homeowners start with only an idea. We help guide you through designs, features, materials, and options to create a pool that fits your vision.

How much does a custom pool cost?

Because every Hogan Pools project is custom, the cost depends on your backyard, design, features, and the options you choose. Most custom pool projects typically fall within a range of about $135,000 to $165,000, but the final investment can vary depending on the details of your project.

Unlike a standard pool package, a custom gunite pool is designed around your property and your vision. Factors like terrain, size, finishes, water features, lighting, spas, and other additions can all affect the final cost. During your consultation, we will help you understand what options make sense for your backyard and budget.

Do you offer financing options?

Yes. We can help you explore financing options that make building your backyard project more manageable.

How long does it take to build a pool?

Construction time depends on the design, features, weather, permitting, and other project details. During the planning process, we provide a clearer timeline based on your specific project.

What happens after construction begins?

We guide you through each stage of construction and keep you informed as your project moves from preparation to completion.

Can I customize my pool design?

Yes. Custom gunite pools allow you to choose shapes, finishes, water features, lighting, tanning ledges, spas, and other features that make the pool your own.

Why choose a gunite pool?

Gunite pools offer exceptional durability and design flexibility, allowing us to create unique pools built specifically for your backyard.

Can you build a pool for a smaller backyard?

Yes. A well-designed pool can make great use of many different backyard sizes. The design is tailored to your space.

How much maintenance does a pool require?

Maintenance depends on your pool equipment, features, and how often it is used. We can help you understand what care your specific pool will need.

Do you provide support after installation?

Yes. We want your pool to continue performing beautifully after completion and are available to help with questions after installation.
