Swimming Pool Construction That Starts With the Right Plan

Design a Pool Around Your Backyard

A new swimming pool should feel like it belongs in your backyard, not like it was forced into the space. Wells Pools can help plan the layout, shape, depth, entry style, water features, equipment, and surrounding pool area based on how you want to use it. 

Whether the goal is family time, entertaining, exercise, relaxation, or a complete backyard upgrade, the design starts with your property and your priorities.

Build With Quality From the Ground Up

Swimming pool construction depends on the details behind the finished look. From excavation, plumbing, electrical, steel, gunite, tile, decking, equipment, interior finish, inspections, and startup, each step affects how the pool performs over time. 

Wells Pools focuses on building with care from the beginning so your pool is durable, efficient, comfortable to use, and ready to become a lasting part of your outdoor space.

We had a phenomenal experience working with Wells Pools. I could not have imagined a smoother process. We worked with Andrew, and he was fantastic with his design and prompt communication throughout the whole process. You never had to wait for a response from him. All the individuals they subcontract with are great as well. They were all considerate, prompt, and friendly. If you want a pool done right, quickly, and with as little stress as possible, I would highly recommend Wells Pools. I would sign with them all over again.

Tiffany Cardinet

I am beyond thrilled that I chose Wells Pools. They build a quality product and not a simple cookie cutter pool. Andrew was involved throughout the process, kept me updated throughout the process. I had specific ideas for the design and along with Andrew’s expertise, was able to implement all of them. All my friends cannot believe the transformation of my Backyard. It’s a piece of art!

Lenny Van Gundy

Our experience with Wells Pools could not have been any better. They were exceptional from start to finish; from the initial design to the communication during the process, to finally, our beautiful pool! Andrew is a wonderful designer and his crew and contractors were all wonderful. There were no delays, no issues and no mess. We are loving our new pool and we are so glad we found Wells Pools after hearing horror stories from friends about their pools. If you are thinking about an in ground pool, look no further, you will not be disappointed or misled.

Debbie Yates

Incredible experience from the inception of design to installation. Working with Andrew, the owner of Wells Pools, we were impressed with his design, architectural knowledge and experience. Andrew is a man of his word. Andrew’s natural talents brought our pool vision to life exactly as we had imagined the pool to be.

This is the first pool build for us and we found Andrew to have the patience of a saint, answering all of our questions.

All of the crews for each step of this pool build provided excellent, skilled craftsmanship, were consistent with service delivery, reliable and were hard workers.

This has been a 12 star experience us from start to finish.

David De Jesus

We highly recommend Wells Pools. Andrew Reego provided excellent service from design to completion and custom designed a large lap pool with an automatic cover and thermal solar heating. He was always very responsive and a pleasure to work with, as were the efficient crews for every stage of construction. He had a better timeframe and design than other companies and it was completed in time for the swimming season and to budget. We are very pleased with the result.

Karen Kunstler

We had a great experience working with Wells Pools. They were very communicative and professional, answering any and all questions immediately. The workmanship on the pool is impeccable, and done in an extremely efficient manner. We were constructing an ADU next to the pool simultaneously, and they did a wonderful job working together with the ADU contractor to time steps appropriately and streamline the overall process. I've heard horror stories about other pool companies, but we had none of these issues with Wells. We'd highly recommend them to anyone planning to install a pool!

Katherine Wong

We had the most incredible experience with Wells Pools, thanks to Joel and his team! Joel designed our pool exactly how we envisioned it, and the result is more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed. The attention to detail and creativity he brought to the project blew us away.

Throughout the entire process, Joel was reliable, fair, and incredibly easy to work with. He always communicated clearly, kept us updated, and delivered on time as promised. We truly couldn't be happier with our new pool, and we highly recommend Wells Pools to anyone looking for exceptional service and stunning results!

Amy Ludwick

I would like to give Wells Pools a huge shout out for the amazing work with the development of my pool. They were extremely professional, especially Andrew, who kept me in the loop of every single step even past normal working hours and weekends. His expertise in designing allowed us to ensure we had our dream pool. Wells Pools told us we would have our pool done in 6 weeks, and they delivered as planned. If anyone is looking for there dream pool, I definitely recommend Wells Pools. Thank you again Andrew and your team for the outstanding work and professionalism.

Roberto Rodriquez

Highly recommend Wells if you are building a salt pool! Dave was wonderful to work with. Knowledgeable, patient, reasonable, responsive, transparent, and collaborative with the other contractors. Our project was delayed getting started due to city permits, but once we got the green light, it was full steam ahead, go go go, and our pool actually completed close to the initial time we were hoping for! We appreciated everyone working directly together, meeting in our backyard, calling each other directly. It's been 6 months and Dave is still very responsive. For example, we had a leak from a pipe in the pool equipment, and it was fixed that same week. Thanks!

Fei MacLeod

We had a great experience working with Wells Pools to design and build our pool. We have a small space and was not sure if we could fit a pool in. Andrew came up with a unique design that maximizes swim space and fits perfectly among the pre-existing features in our backyard. During the construction, Andrew kept us informed of everything that was going on--there were no surprises. It was six weeks from the time the first shovel hit the ground until we were jumping in the pool. At Andrew's suggestion, we had spa jets and a long bench installed on the side so we can choose to either swim or just relax with a water massage. We could not be happier with the pool and with the experience we had working with Wells Pools. We highly recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does swimming pool construction usually take?

Swimming pool construction timelines vary based on design, permitting, yard access, weather, inspections, and material choices. Many custom inground pool projects take several weeks once construction begins, but planning and approvals can add time before excavation starts.

What should I know before starting a new pool construction project?

Before starting swimming pool construction, homeowners should think about yard layout, access for equipment, desired pool size, depth, features, decking, budget, and long-term maintenance. A site review helps determine what is realistic for the property.

Can a new pool be built in a small or narrow backyard?

Yes, many small or narrow yards can support a custom pool if the design is planned carefully. Shape, depth, entry style, equipment placement, and decking layout all affect how well the pool fits the space.

What affects the cost of swimming pool construction?

Swimming pool construction cost depends on pool size, shape, depth, site conditions, access, materials, decking, equipment, spa additions, water features, permits, and outdoor living upgrades. More complex designs usually require a larger budget.

Do I need to choose pool equipment before construction starts?

Yes, equipment should be planned early because pumps, filters, heaters, lighting, automation, and plumbing layout affect the construction process. Choosing efficient systems during new pool construction can make ownership easier from the beginning.
