A Boca Raton Pool Builder That Designs Around Your Actual Backyard

Custom luxury pool built in Palm Beach Gardens

No two backyards in Boca Raton work the same way, so a pool that looks great on a builder's website isn't automatically the right pool for your lot. As custom pool builders in Boca Raton, we start with the property its shape, sun exposure, drainage and how your household actually plans to use the space before a single line is drawn.

 

Some homeowners want a clean geometric pool that sits quietly against a modern façade. Others want a spa built into the pool, a sun shelf for lounging, water features, upgraded lighting, or a full outdoor living area with a kitchen and pergola attached. On a smaller lot, a cocktail or plunge pool often makes more sense than trying to force a full-size pool into a tight footprint while larger properties usually have room for a bigger pool, deck and entertaining area.

 

Our Boca Raton office is located at:

 

1120 Holland Drive, Suite 13, Boca Raton, FL 33487

 

We start every project with a property walkthrough access, goals, must-have features and build the design and scope around what that specific lot allows, rather than pushing a predetermined package. We're BBB A+ accredited and were recently recognized as a top South Florida pool builder by South Florida Favorites.

What We Build

Pool Construction, Remodeling and Resurfacing for Boca Raton Homeowners

Whether you're starting from an empty backyard or updating a pool that's seen better days, Epic Watershapes covers the full range of inground pool work under one roof, so you have one team to call instead of three.

Custom Pool Construction

As inground pool builders in Boca Raton, we build each pool around your property's layout and how your family plans to use it not a catalog shape dropped onto a lot. A custom build can include: Geometric or freeform pool shapes Integrated or spillover spas Sun shelves and tanning ledges Steps and built-in bench seating Cocktail and plunge pools Waterfalls, bubblers and deck jets LED pool and landscape lighting Smart pool automation Saltwater systems Decking, coping and pavers Outdoor kitchens and pergolas Our process runs from the initial property review through 3D design, engineering coordination, permitting, HOA approval, construction, finish selection, equipment install and final walkthrough.

Pool Resurfacing

When a pool's interior surface goes rough, stained or discolored, the pool itself may still be structurally fine it's the finish that's failed. Resurfacing replaces that worn interior without rebuilding the pool, using plaster, quartz aggregate or pebble aggregate depending on the look and durability you want. Resurfacing is usually the right call when: The floor or walls feel rough underfoot Stains keep coming back after cleaning Plaster is flaking or chipping Discoloration has spread across the surface The finish just looks dated Minor cracking needs a professional look You want to change the water's color or texture We inspect the existing surface before recommending a finish. If the project also needs new tile, coping or equipment, it's usually a better fit for a full remodel than a resurfacing job alone.

Pool Packages

We handle pool repair in Boca Raton for cracks, leaks, failed equipment and storm damage, with fast response times.

Pool Remodeling

A dated pool doesn't always need to be torn out often the shell is fine and it's the surface, equipment or layout around it that's holding the space back. Remodeling makes sense when the structure can stay but the design, finish or surrounding hardscape needs work. Common upgrades include: New waterline tile and coping New plaster, quartz or pebble-aggregate finish Deck and paver replacement LED lighting Variable-speed pumps and updated equipment Saltwater conversion Automation controls Integrated spa addition Sun shelves, tanning ledges or new steps Water and fire features Structural repairs where needed Outdoor kitchen or pergola integration We assess the existing pool first, so you know exactly what stays, what goes, and which upgrade will actually change how the space feels.

Should You Build, Remodel or Resurface?

Most homeowners know their backyard isn’t working  they’re just not sure which service fixes it. Here’s a quick way to think about it:

Choose new pool construction when:

  • There’s no existing pool on the property
  • The current pool can’t support the design you want
  • You want a completely different layout
  • The existing pool’s placement doesn’t work for the lot
  • The structure’s condition makes replacement more practical than repair

Choose pool remodeling when:

  • The shell can stay, but several components need updating
  • You want new tile, coping, decking and equipment
  • You want to add a spa, sun shelf, steps or water feature
  • The current style clashes with the rest of the home
  • The backyard needs a more complete overhaul

Choose pool resurfacing when:

  • The layout still works for you
  • The interior surface is the main issue
  • Plaster is rough, stained or wearing down
  • Tile, coping and equipment are otherwise fine
  • You want a refreshed look without changing the pool’s structure

Our Pool Design and Construction Process in Boca Raton

01.

Property & Goals Review

We start by understanding how you plan to use the pool, which features actually matter to you, and any concerns you have about the property itself yard space, pool placement, equipment access, existing utilities, drainage, deck space, privacy, views and HOA requirements all get reviewed upfront.

02.

Custom 3D Design

Before construction starts, you should be able to see it. Our 3D design lets you walk through the pool shape, spa, steps, sun shelf, decking, coping, finishes and lighting on screen this is the stage where changes are cheap and easy, unlike changes made mid-construction.

03.

Scope, Materials and Proposal

Once the design is locked in, we turn it into a defined scope: the work being done, included features, finish and material selections, equipment, decking, outdoor-living components, allowances, payment schedule and expected sequencing all spelled out before you sign.

04.

HOA, Engineering and Permitting

Many Boca Raton communities require HOA architectural review before the city will even look at a permit application. We coordinate the design documents, engineering and permit submissions on your behalf the process varies by property, municipality and HOA, but you're not the one chasing paperwork.

05.

Construction and Progress Communication

Once approvals are in, construction begins. Depending on the project, this covers excavation, structural work, plumbing, electrical, inspections, shell construction, tile, coping, decking, equipment, interior finish and startup with regular updates on what phase you're in and what's coming next.

06.

Startup and Final Walkthrough

At completion, we fill or restart the pool, test every piece of equipment, and walk you through pool and spa controls, pump and filtration operation, lighting, automation, heater controls (if included), startup care and basic maintenance plus who to call if a question comes up later.

What Boca Raton Homeowners Say 100+ Five-Star Reviews and Counting

 What Determines the Cost of a Pool in Boca Raton?

There’s no honest way to price a pool off the city name alone  two pools of the same size can land at very different budgets once you factor in access, engineering, materials and features.

What actually moves the price:

  • Pool length, width and depth
  • Pool shape
  • Site access for equipment
  • Excavation and soil conditions
  • Structural engineering requirements
  • Integrated spa
  • Sun shelves and custom steps
  • Water or fire features
  • Interior finish choice
  • Tile and coping
  • Deck size and material
  • Equipment and automation level
  • Heater or chiller
  • Existing demolition, if any
  • Drainage and grading work
  • Outdoor kitchen or pergola add-ons
  • HOA and permitting requirements
  • Landscaping and site restoration

A property visit and a defined design are what turn a rough range into an accurate proposal.

General ranges for context:

  • Basic pool (standard shape, minimal features): $50,000–$70,000
  • Mid-range pool (custom features, upgraded finishes, LED lighting): $70,000–$100,000
  • High-end custom pool (infinity edge, spa, tanning ledge, premium finishes): $100,000–$200,000+

How Long Does Pool Construction Take in Boca Raton?

Most pool builds run 8–12 weeks from breaking ground to first swim, though pre-construction (design, engineering, HOA and permit review) usually adds several more weeks before that clock even starts.

Pre-construction typically includes:

  • Property review
  • Design revisions
  • Material selections
  • Engineering
  • HOA review
  • Permit review
  • Scheduling and procurement

Physical construction typically includes:

  • Excavation
  • Structural shell
  • Plumbing and electrical
  • Required inspections
  • Tile and coping
  • Decking
  • Equipment installation
  • Interior finish
  • Pool filling and startup

A rough week-by-week build breakdown:

  • Week 1: Layout, excavation, steel
  • Weeks 2–3: Plumbing, electrical, gunite/shotcrete
  • Weeks 4–6: Tile, coping, equipment install
  • Weeks 7–8: Decking and site cleanup
  • Weeks 9–10: Water fill, startup, final adjustments

Weather, permit delays and complex custom features can push this out. We give a realistic schedule once we’ve reviewed your specific property and design  not a generic number pulled off a website.

Signs Your Pool Needs New Tile Instead of Resurfacing

As your pool gets older, you may wonder if it needs a repair or a full renovation. Many homeowners think any visible damage means the entire pool needs resurfacing, but that is not always the case. If the plaster on your pool walls and floor is still smooth and in

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Builders in Boca Raton

 It depends on your property, so treat any number without a site visit as a rough guide, not a quote. As a general range: a basic pool runs $50,000–$70,000, a mid-range pool with custom features and lighting runs $70,000–$100,000, and a high-end custom pool with an infinity edge, spa or premium finishes can run $100,000–$200,000+. Size, depth, soil conditions, backyard access and the features you choose all move that number. Call (561) 500-EPIC for a proposal based on your actual property.

Most builds take 8–12 weeks once construction starts, plus additional time upfront for design, engineering and permitting. Weather and permit review can add time, and more complex custom features naturally take longer. We'll give you a realistic schedule after reviewing your property and design.

Boca Raton's climate allows year-round construction, so there's no bad season to start. Most homeowners begin planning in fall or winter so the pool is ready for summer  if you wait until spring to start the conversation, you're less likely to be swimming that same summer. Starting the design and permitting process early is the real time-saver, even if you're not ready to break ground yet.

Yes  every inground pool in Boca Raton requires permits, and skipping that step creates real problems later, especially when you go to sell the home. We handle the full permitting process, including the City of Boca Raton's requirements, so you're not the one dealing with a government office.

Generally, yes  a well-designed pool can add $50,000–$100,000 or more to a South Florida home's value, particularly in higher-end markets like Boca Raton. That said, the pool should be built because you'll actually use and enjoy it; resale value is a bonus, not the main reason to build.

Yes. Cocktail and plunge pools are built specifically for tight spaces  typically 10–12 feet long, deep enough to cool off and relax in, without taking over the entire yard. We've built a number of these in Boca Raton townhomes and smaller lots where a full-size pool wasn't realistic.

Call (561) 500-EPIC or fill out the contact form on this page with your project details. Our Boca Raton office is at 1120 Holland Drive, Suite 13, Boca Raton, FL 33487, and our office hours are Monday–Saturday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Common add-ons include water features (natural rock waterfalls, sheer descent waterfalls, rain curtains, grotto waterfalls), an integrated spa with hydrotherapy jets, color-changing LED lighting, tanning ledges and built-in benches, energy-efficient pumps and heaters, and decking in travertine, marble or porcelain pavers. Your design team can walk you through which features fit your budget and how you use the space.

Building a custom inground pool in West Palm Beach typically takes 12 to 16 weeks from start to finish. However, this timeline can vary depending on factors such as design complexity, pool type, material selection, permitting, and weather conditions.

Here’s a general breakdown of the pool construction process:

  • Design Phase: 1 to 4 weeks
  • Permitting: 2 to 6 weeks
  • Excavation: Approximately 1 week
  • Steel, Plumbing, and Electrical Work: 1 to 2 weeks
  • Shell Installation (Gunite, Fiberglass, or Vinyl): 1 to 3 weeks
  • Finishing Touches (Landscaping, Hardscaping, Custom Features): 1 to 4 weeks

Certain factors can affect the timeline. For example, concrete (gunite) pools may take longer due to the curing process, Additionally, weather conditions like heavy rain can cause delays, particularly during the excavation phase.

Yes  we back our work with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, meaning we stay on a project until you're genuinely happy with the result. Full warranty terms are covered during your consultation rather than listed generically online, since coverage can vary by project scope.

It runs in order: consultation and 3D design, permitting and inspection planning, draining the pool, surface prep, any structural changes (depth, shape, added features), equipment upgrades, decking work, refilling and chemical balancing, and a final inspection with maintenance guidance.

Four tiers, each customizable: Epic Splash Starter (essentials for first-time pool owners), Epic Bliss (upgraded finishes, lighting and design features), Epic Oasis (pool plus integrated spa with advanced lighting), and Epic Zero-Entry (a sloped, beach-style entry that works well for kids and mobility needs). Any package can be extended with waterfalls, LED lighting, tanning ledges and energy-efficient equipment.
