New pool construction

Custom concrete pools. Every option, engineered right.

A Wahoo custom concrete pool is built to last a lifetime and dialed in to your taste — from the shell to the tile, the heater to the deck. Explore the five decisions that shape your project.

Custom Concrete Shell Construction
Section 01

Custom Concrete Shell Construction

Every Wahoo pool starts as an engineered steel-reinforced gunite shell — the strongest, longest-lasting pool construction method built for Florida soil, water table, and heat. Our crews hand-tie #3 rebar at 12″ on-center, shoot dense-mix gunite (not shotcrete), and cure the shell for a full 28 days before finishing. The result is a monolithic structure we back with a lifetime structural warranty. Because the shell is custom-formed on site, any shape is possible: geometric, freeform, L-shape, kidney, infinity edge, perimeter overflow, and vanishing-edge designs.

  • Engineered rebar cage sized to your soil report
  • 10-inch minimum floor and wall thickness
  • Integrated spa, sun shelf, benches, and step details poured monolithically
  • Lifetime structural warranty, transferable to next homeowner
Interior Finishes & Glass Tile Waterlines

Interior Finishes & Glass Tile Waterlines

The interior finish is what you see, feel, and touch every day — and it defines the color of your water. We install premium exposed-aggregate finishes with warranties up to 15 years, in dozens of blends from bright Bahama blue to deep lagoon greens. Above the waterline, upgraded tile is where personality shows up: iridescent 1×1 glass mosaic, hand-cut Moroccan zellige, natural stone, or a full-glass waterline that shimmers in the sun.

  • Diamond Brite, Pebble Sheen, Pebble Tec and StoneScapes finishes
  • 6×6 porcelain, 1×1 glass mosaic, or full-height glass tile options
  • Iridescent, matte, and hand-glazed tile collections
  • Mosaic bottom emblems and spillway accents
  • Travertine, brick, or bullnose coping to match the tile
Heaters, Salt Systems & Equipment
Section 03

Heaters, Salt Systems & Equipment

Equipment is the mechanical heart of your pool — the difference between a pool you swim in three months a year and one you enjoy year-round. We spec every system for your bather load, features, and target swim season, then install it neatly on a dedicated pad with union fittings so future service is quick. All equipment is warrantied by both the manufacturer and Wahoo.

  • Natural-gas or propane heaters (Raypak, Pentair MasterTemp) for on-demand warmth
  • Heat pumps (AquaCal, Pentair UltraTemp) for efficient year-round heating
  • Solar heating loops for the lowest lifetime operating cost
  • Variable-speed pumps (Pentair IntelliFlo, Jandy ePump) — up to 90% energy savings
  • Cartridge and DE filters sized for crystal-clear water
  • Salt chlorine generators (Pentair IntelliChlor, Jandy AquaPure)
  • Ozone and UV secondary sanitation for reduced chlorine
  • Smart automation (Pentair IntelliCenter, Jandy iAquaLink) — control from your phone
Lighting, Water & Fire Features
Section 04

Lighting, Water & Fire Features

Lighting turns your pool into a nightscape. Water and fire features turn it into a resort. We design every feature to fit the pool's proportions and your home's architecture, then wire everything into your automation so scenes change with a single tap.

  • Color-changing LED pool and spa lights (Pentair IntelliBrite, Jandy WaterColors)
  • Perimeter deck lighting, bubbler sun-shelf lights, and step lights
  • Sheer descent waterfalls, deck jets, and laminar arcs
  • Rain curtains, scuppers, and grotto waterfalls
  • Fire bowls and fire pits — gas, propane, or hybrid
  • Bluetooth pool audio and underwater speakers
  • Preset lighting scenes: Dinner, Party, Relax, Holiday
Decking, Coping & Outdoor Living
Section 05

Decking, Coping & Outdoor Living

Your pool deck is the space you actually stand, sit, and entertain on — often more square footage than the pool itself. We install premium hardscape materials that stay cool underfoot, resist stains, and complement your home. Beyond the deck, we design the full outdoor room: pergolas, outdoor kitchens, screen enclosures, and privacy landscaping.

  • Travertine pavers — French pattern, plank, or ashlar
  • Porcelain pavers in wood-look, marble-look, and concrete-look finishes
  • Stamped and broom-finish concrete with acid stain color
  • Shellstone, flagstone, and natural bluestone
  • Bullnose, ogee, or square-edge coping in stone or brick
  • Screen enclosures — mansard, gable, or dome
  • Outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fire tables, and lounge seating
  • Landscape lighting and Florida-friendly pool-side planting
