Orlando is a patchwork. Lakeside bungalows near downtown, 1990s subdivisions with screened lanais and brand-new southeast communities all need different pools and different plans. Give us the address, text a few photos to (689) 225-1200, and we will tell you what we see before we visit.
Local notes for pools in Orlando
City of Orlando or unincorporated Orange County
An Orlando mailing address does not tell you who permits your pool. Some homes sit inside the City of Orlando and go through the city building division. Others share the same mailing address but are in unincorporated Orange County, which has its own office and its own steps. We confirm the jurisdiction for your address at the estimate. If your job needs a permit, we say so then and list it in the proposal. Our guide to pool permits and the build process in Orlando explains the order of events.
Sandy soil, rain and a shallow water table
Most of Orlando is sand over limestone, and the water table rises fast after a wet June. That matters when we dig. Groundwater may have to be pumped down during excavation, and the shell has to be planned so it is not pushed around by water pressure later. Afternoon storms also decide where deck runoff goes. We look at your grade and the nearest swale at the estimate. Anything hidden underground that we find during work is explained to you before we continue.
Screen enclosures and a lot of shade
A screen enclosure is the default here for good reason: bugs, shade and fewer leaves in the water. It is also a separate structure with its own engineering and permit. Older neighborhoods bring oaks and pines, and that means more skimming and more brushing. Newer lots get the opposite problem, hot sun on a bare deck. We talk through enclosure or open deck, plus deck material, before the design is final. Our article on pool screen enclosures in Florida covers the basics.
Tired pools worth saving
Many Orlando homes built between the 1980s and the 2000s still have their original pools. Many have a sound shell and a worn surface, chipped tile and an old pump. That is usually a pool renovation or a pool resurfacing job, not a teardown. We inspect the pool and tell you plainly if something deeper needs attention first. Once it is fixed up, our weekly pool cleaning keeps it that way, as long as your address is on one of our routes.
