In much of Florida, the fall and winter months offer stable weather and a controlled environment for pool building. The ground is drier, which allows for a faster and easier installation process. Vegetation is high, meaning this is the best time to plant trees and bushes to dress up your new backyard.

It’s often cheaper to build a pool in the winter because most people book their pool construction for the spring and summer months. Because of this, some pool builders may offer discounts in the off-season.

It depends on the time of year, the weather, the permitting time, the pool design, and the related hardscape.

Once getting the pool permits 4 – 8 weeks (plus any delays for permitting backlogs), on average, we can complete your residential pool in 6 to 10 weeks unless there are substantial weather delays, parts delays, or changes to our plan during the construction process.

If you’re in Florida, a pool is worth the investment. You can enjoy it year-round, and it’s attractive to most buyers. If most of the homes in your neighborhood have pools, you should have one. Not having it could make your home more challenging to sell.

A personal reason would you want your own pool – your kids – your most precious asset. When they’re at a neighbor’s pool you are depending on their safely monitoring by someone other than yourself. If you have the nicest pool with the most ‘fun features’, all their friends will want to come to your pool, where you can have them under the safety of your watchful eye.

The permit process could take 4 to 8 weeks (plus any delays for permitting backlogs). Your pool builder relays information from jurisdictions to the engineer, who makes amendments based on their comments and requests. The permitting process can be lengthy, but it’s necessary before building any pool in Florida.
