Walk through most new construction developments in Boca Raton and you'll see the same pool over and over—same shape, same size, same boring design. That's what happens when builders treat pools like appliances instead of custom features designed specifically for your family and property.
Epic Watershapes builds pools differently. Every project starts with understanding how YOU want to use your space. Early morning lap swimmer? We design for that. Weekend party host? We build for that. Grandparents who want safe areas for grandkids? We create that. Young couple seeking resort-style relaxation? We deliver that.
Over the past decade, we've completed pool construction projects throughout every Boca Raton neighborhood—waterfront estates, golf course homes, downtown properties, family communities. Each one unique. Each one designed around the homeowner's actual needs, not some predetermined template.
We hold Florida contractor license CPC1460900, carry full insurance, and we've built enough pools in Boca Raton to know every permitting requirement, every soil challenge, every HOA quirk. Our crews show up on time, communicate clearly, and finish what they start—radical concepts in the construction world, apparently.

Perfect for both style and function, a tanning ledge adds comfort and versatility:
This is where we differ most dramatically from other pool construction companies. We don’t have “packages” or template designs we force on every property. Your pool gets designed specifically for your lot, your home’s architecture, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Our design process:
Step 1: Listen Before sketching anything, we ask questions. Lots of them.
Step 2: Site Analysis We assess your property’s unique characteristics:
Step 3: Create 3D Design Within one week, you receive detailed 3D renderings showing your pool from every angle. You can virtually walk around it, see how it fits your yard, visualize exactly what you’re getting.
Don’t like something? We change it. Want to explore different options? We show you alternatives. The design phase continues until you’re completely satisfied.
Step 4: Engineering Once design is approved, our engineers handle:
Phase 1: Permitting (3-4 weeks) We handle all paperwork with City of Boca Raton and your HOA. You sign where necessary; we manage everything else. Most permits take 2-3 weeks if plans are complete and accurate (ours always are).
Phase 2: Excavation (Days 1-3) Mark utilities, set up erosion control, excavate to precise dimensions, install rough plumbing and electrical conduit, remove all dirt from property.
Phase 3: Steel & Gunite (Days 4-10) Install rebar framework (inspected and approved by city), apply gunite shell in one continuous pour, begin 28-day cure period while continuing other work.
Phase 4: Tile & Coping (Weeks 5-6) Install waterline tile (glass, porcelain, stone, or mosaic patterns), set coping around perimeter (travertine, natural stone, or concrete), create visual definition and functional border.
Phase 5: Equipment (Week 6) Install pump, filter, heater, salt system or chlorinator, automation controls, plumbing connections, electrical wiring (inspected and approved).
Phase 6: Interior Finish (Week 7) Apply plaster, pebble, quartz, or hydrazzo finish—depends on your selection during design phase. Must be done in one continuous application across entire pool.
Phase 7: Decking (Weeks 8-9) Install deck material (travertine, pavers, stamped concrete, natural stone), create entertainment areas, ensure proper drainage, integrate landscaping.
Phase 8: Startup (Weeks 10-11) Fill pool, balance chemistry carefully during cure period, train you on all equipment operation, final walkthrough and approval.
Total timeline: 10-12 weeks typical. Complex projects with extensive features may take 12-14 weeks. We provide realistic schedules based on your specific design.
Rectangular Pools Classic, timeless, maximizes swimming space. Works beautifully with modern architecture. Often includes tanning ledges, integrated spas, or clean water features. Popular in Boca Raton’s contemporary homes.
Geometric Designs Squares, rectangles, L-shapes—angular forms with straight lines. Perfect for modern aesthetic. Can include perimeter overflow, raised spas with spillover, knife-edge coping details.
Freeform Pools Organic shapes with flowing curves. Resort-style appearance. Often features natural rock elements, beach entries, tropical landscaping. Creates vacation atmosphere in your backyard.
Lagoon Pools Natural-looking pools with rock waterfalls, grottos, lush planting. Feels like swimming in spring or tropical oasis. Popular on larger Boca Raton properties where space allows grand designs.
Infinity Edge Pools Vanishing edge creates dramatic visual effect. Water appears to extend to horizon. Requires catch basin, additional pumps, precision engineering. Stunning on any property, spectacular on elevated or waterfront lots.
Lap Pools Long, narrow pools for exercise swimming. Typically 40-50 feet long, 8-10 feet wide. Streamlined design with minimal obstacles. Sometimes includes counter-current systems for swimming in place.
Cocktail Pools Compact designs (10×16 to 14×20 feet) perfect for smaller lots. Deep enough to cool off (5-6 feet typical), often includes spa jets, built-in seating. Costs significantly less than full-size pools while still providing pool experience.
Spas Integrated hot tubs that share equipment with pool. Water overflows from spa into pool (creates waterfall effect). Multiple jets, LED lighting, separate heating. Perfect for year-round use in Boca Raton.
Tanning Ledges Shallow shelves (6-12 inches deep) for lounging. Most requested feature in pool construction. Safe for children, comfortable for adults, adds resort aesthetic.
Beach Entries Gradual slopes instead of steps. Walk into pool like entering ocean. Accessible for all mobility levels, looks spectacular, creates unique swimming experience.
Water Features Sheer descents (sheets of water), deck jets (arcing streams), bubblers (fountain effects), waterfalls (rock or architectural), scuppers (water spouts). Adds movement, sound, visual interest.
Fire Features Fire bowls on pool walls, fire pits near pool, tiki torches. Combination of fire and water creates stunning nighttime atmosphere.
LED Lighting Color-changing lights throughout pool, feature lighting on waterfalls/spa, deck and landscape lighting. Control everything from phone, create different scenes for different moods.
Automation Smart controls for all equipment. Adjust heating, lighting, cleaning, chemistry from anywhere. Set schedules, receive alerts, monitor performance remotely.
Gunite is pneumatically-applied concrete—the gold standard for quality pool construction. Stronger than shotcrete, more flexible than poured concrete, capable of creating any shape or contour.
Gunite advantages:
We don’t use fiberglass shells or vinyl liners. Those work fine in some climates, but Florida’s heat and ground movement make gunite the superior choice for long-term performance.
Standard Plaster Traditional white or colored plaster. Smooth, affordable, typically lasts 10-12 years with proper maintenance. Good choice when budget is priority.
Pebble Finishes Small pebbles embedded in surface. Lasts 15-20 years in Boca Raton, resists staining, dozens of color options. Most popular choice among our clients—worth the extra cost for durability and aesthetics.
Quartz Finishes Quartz crystals mixed into surface. Smoother than pebble, more durable than plaster, sparkles beautifully in sunlight. Typically lasts 12-15 years.
Hydrazzo Premium polished finish. Incredibly smooth, stunning appearance, very durable. Popular in luxury Boca Raton pool construction projects.
Pumps We install variable-speed pumps on all pool construction projects. Energy Star rated, whisper-quiet operation, 65-75% energy savings compared to old single-speed pumps. Required by Florida building code, excellent for performance and costs.
Filters Cartridge filters (easy maintenance, excellent filtration) or DE filters (finest filtration available, requires more maintenance). We recommend based on your pool size and usage patterns.
Heating Heat pumps (most efficient for Boca Raton climate), gas heaters (faster heating, better for spas), or solar systems (free heating after installation). Many homeowners combine systems for optimal performance.
Sanitation Salt chlorination (automatic chlorine generation, softer water, easier maintenance) or traditional chlorine systems (lower upfront cost, familiar technology). Most Boca Raton clients choose salt.
Automation Hayward OmniLogic, Pentair IntelliCenter, or Jandy iAquaLink systems. Control all equipment from phone, set schedules, monitor chemistry, receive alerts. Not required but highly recommended.
Travertine Pavers Most popular choice for Boca Raton pool construction. Natural stone that stays cool, looks beautiful, lasts 30+ years. Available in ivory, walnut, gold, and other colors.
Concrete Pavers Affordable alternative with modern designs. Hundreds of colors, patterns, sizes. Durable and attractive.
Natural Stone Bluestone, flagstone, Tennessee stone. Premium option for luxury aesthetic. Higher cost but stunning results.
Stamped Concrete Textured concrete mimicking stone or pavers. Budget-friendly option that still looks good. Lower cost than pavers, more visual interest than plain concrete.

Florida Contractor License CPC1460900 (verify on DBPR website)
We’re not general contractors dabbling in pools. We’re specialized pool contractors with years of training, experience, and proven track record.
Our credentials:
Some pool construction companies compete on price by using cheaper materials or rushed construction methods. We compete on quality—building pools that still look and function perfectly 20 years later.
How we build quality:
You get:
You don’t get:
When we provide a pool construction proposal, it includes everything:
The number we quote is the number you pay—unless YOU choose to add features during construction. No hidden fees. No “oh, we forgot to include…” No bait-and-switch tactics.
If something unexpected comes up during excavation (rock we need to break through, old septic tank nobody knew existed), we discuss options and costs before proceeding. You make informed decisions, not surprised discoveries on your bill.
Most Boca Raton homeowners finance pool construction. We partner with multiple lenders who specialize in home improvement loans:
Financing benefits:
Typical monthly payments:
Many families find monthly payments more manageable than depleting savings. Your pool starts providing enjoyment immediately while you pay comfortably over time.
Call (561) 500-EPIC to discuss financing options specific to your situation.
Honest pricing for quality construction:
Basic Pool Construction: $60,000-$80,000 Simple rectangular or oval shape, standard plaster finish, basic equipment (variable-speed pump, cartridge filter, salt system), minimal features, concrete deck.
Custom Pool Construction: $80,000-$120,000
Custom shape designed for your property, upgraded finish (pebble or quartz), premium equipment with automation, one major feature (spa, tanning ledge, or water feature), travertine or paver deck.

Factors affecting pool construction costs:
Only way to get accurate pricing: have us assess your specific property. Call (561) 500-EPIC for free consultation and detailed proposal.
Realistic timeline from start to swimming:
Design and Permitting: 3-4 weeks (happens before construction begins) Construction: 10-12 weeks (excavation to final completion) Total Time: 13-16 weeks from initial design to swimming
Week-by-week breakdown:
What can delay pool construction:
We build realistic timelines into every proposal and communicate proactively if delays occur.
Yes, absolutely. Pool construction in Boca Raton requires:
Building Permit: Structural approval for pool shell, decking, features Electrical Permit: All pool lighting, equipment wiring, GFCI requirements Plumbing Permit: Sometimes required depending on scope HOA Approval: If you’re in HOA community (architectural review)
We handle all permitting:
You sign where needed. We manage everything else.
Important: Never attempt pool construction without permits. Unpermitted pools create serious problems when selling your home, can result in fines from the city, may need to be demolished if discovered, won’t be covered by insurance if problems occur.
Florida’s climate allows year-round pool construction. That said, timing considerations:
Fall/Winter Construction (September-February):
Spring Construction (March-May):
Summer Construction (June-August):
Our recommendation: Start planning 3-4 months before you want to swim. If you want pool ready for next summer, start conversations in fall/winter.
Essential qualifications:
Red flags to avoid:
Questions to ask:
Construction involves heavy equipment, excavation, and material staging. We take steps to minimize damage:
Protection measures:
Realistic expectations:
Most yard damage is temporary. After construction and landscaping, your property looks better than before—now you have a pool.
Weekly maintenance (30-45 minutes):
Monthly maintenance (1 hour):
Seasonal maintenance:
Or hire pool service: $110-$160/month for professional weekly maintenance. Most Boca Raton homeowners choose this option—you swim, they maintain.
Monthly operating costs (estimate):
Total monthly costs: $220-$380 typical (more if heating frequently, less with efficient equipment)
Annual costs (estimate):
Total annual costs: $3,000-$5,500 typical for well-maintained pool
Modern equipment (variable-speed pumps, LED lighting, automation) reduces costs significantly compared to older pools.

Set the perfect mood

As a leading remodeling firm in Boca Raton, Epic Watershapes guarantees stunning results tailored to your style.
Let's be straight—this is the first question everyone asks, and it's the hardest to answer without seeing your property.
That said, here's a general range:
What affects the price? Size, depth, soil conditions, access to your backyard, features you add, and finishes you choose. The only way to get an accurate number is to have us come out and assess your specific situation.
We'll give you a detailed quote—not a vague estimate that changes every week. Call (561) 500-EPIC to schedule your free consultation.
Most pool construction projects take 8-12 weeks from the day we break ground to the day you're swimming.
Here's the typical timeline:
Weather can slow things down (we can't pour concrete in the rain). Permit delays happen occasionally. And if you're adding complex features, it might take a bit longer. But we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront, and we stick to it.
Honestly? Anytime. Boca Raton's weather lets us build year-round.
That said, most people start projects in fall or winter so everything's ready by summer. If you wait until March to start planning, you might not be swimming until next season.
Our advice: Start the conversation now. Even if you're not ready to break ground immediately, getting permits and designs finalized takes time. Call (561) 500-EPIC and let's get on the calendar.
Yes, absolutely. And trying to skip permits is a terrible idea that'll come back to bite you when you try to sell your house.
Good news: We handle all the permitting for you. We've worked with the City of Boca Raton for years, we know exactly what they require, and we manage the entire process. You won't have to set foot in a government office.
In South Florida? Definitely. A well-designed pool can add $50,000-$100,000 to your home's value—sometimes more in luxury markets like Boca Raton.
But here's the thing: Don't build a pool just for resale value. Build it because you'll use it and love it. The financial return is a nice bonus, but the real value is the memories you create with family and friends.
Absolutely. Some of our most creative work happens in tight spaces.
Cocktail pools (also called plunge pools) are perfect for smaller yards. They're usually 10-12 feet long, deep enough to cool off and relax, but they don't take over your entire backyard. We've built dozens in Boca Raton townhomes and smaller lots.

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:
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.
