Custom Pool Builders in Florida for New Pools, Remodeling & Backyard Design

Building a swimming pool should begin with understanding your home, your backyard, and how you plan to use the space. Payne Pool Professionals provides custom pool design and swimming pool construction through regional teams serving the Gulf Coast, Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Jacksonville. Whether you are planning a new inground gunite pool, comparing fiberglass pool designs, or remodeling a pool you already own, we help you evaluate practical options before making major construction decisions.

Our 3D pool design process lets you explore pool shapes, spas, shallow-water ledges, decking, finishes, and outdoor living features together. That means your swimming pool can be planned as part of the whole backyard rather than an isolated feature. Service availability and construction details vary by market, so connect with your local Payne Pool Professionals team for project-specific recommendations.

Gunite vs. Fiberglass vs. Vinyl Liner Pools: Which Inground Pool Is Right for You?

Choosing between gunite, fiberglass and vinyl liner pools begins with the features you want and the conditions of your property. These construction methods differ in customization, shell design, material choices and installation requirements. A site-specific consultation is the best way to determine what will work in your backyard.

Gunite Pools

A strong choice for custom pool shapes, integrated spas, unique depths and features designed around the property.

Fiberglass Pools

Factory-manufactured pool shells with established shapes, smooth finished surfaces and model-specific seating and step layouts.

Vinyl Liner Pools

An inground pool option with a smooth liner, pattern choices and market-dependent design availability.

Our regional pool design teams can explain which construction types are available in your area and help compare practical design, maintenance, property-access and budget considerations.

Custom Pool Features, Interior Finishes, Decking & 3D Pool Design

Custom pool design is about more than selecting an inground pool shell. The right combination of interior finish, waterline tile, coping, decking, lighting and landscaping can make a pool feel integrated with your home. Payne Pool Professionals helps homeowners review compatible pool finishes, architectural details and outdoor living features as part of eligible new pool construction and pool remodeling projects.

Hand-drawn pool and landscape design plan

Swimming Pool Finishes & Tile

Compare interior pool finishes, water colors, textures, decorative tile and waterline tile selections. Finish choices can influence the appearance and feel of a completed gunite swimming pool.

Pool Decking & Coping

Pool coping frames the swimming pool and decking connects it to seating, patios and walkways. Review pool decking and coping materials for appearance, comfort, maintenance and suitability for your property.

Spas, Tanning Ledges & Water Features

A custom backyard pool can include integrated spas, shallow tanning ledges, benches, lighting and water features. Our 3D swimming pool design process helps show how these elements relate to the pool, the home and the surrounding patio before construction.

We got a pool from Payne Pool a little over a year ago. We went with a gunite salt water pool. I should have written this review then. They did a wonderful job with what we requested. They extended our patio at a fraction of the price of what other's were quoting us. My only issue is that I wasn't too impressed by their "pool school" they held for us right after the construction. I had no manuals that were left behind or anything to reference. It was A LOT of information especially for people that have never owned a pool before. However, I will say that any time I have had a question they kindly answered me and always fulfilled my requested. I recently had Jonathan come by and do a quick "pool school" session with me. He was kind and patient and shared valuable information I didn't receive the first time.

Unbelievably awesome! Less than 10 weeks from no hole in the ground to my salt water and heated pool is complete and beautiful! Awesome owners, project managers, and office manager who helped me design and show tiles and mosaic options for me to choose! I’ll be teaching Swim Life Water Survival lessons starting in April so Payne Pool Professionals kept to their schedule to get my pool complete in time for me to start teaching!

Our Swimming Pool Design & Construction Process

Swimming pool construction includes more than excavation. Design, engineering, permitting, material selections, installation and final preparation all contribute to a successful project. The steps and schedule depend on the pool type, jurisdiction, property and construction scope.

  1. 1. Consultation and Property Review

    Discuss your goals, preferred pool features, site access and budget priorities.

  2. 2. 3D Pool Design

    Review the proposed pool layout, spa, decking and primary backyard features.

  3. 3. Selections and Planning

    Finalize construction method, finishes, equipment and relevant design choices.

  4. 4. Engineering and Permits

    Coordinate applicable approvals and documentation for the location and scope.

  5. 5. Swimming Pool Construction

    Complete the construction and equipment-installation stages required for the selected pool type.

  6. 6. Final Preparation and Handoff

    Review final project details and pool-use information with the regional team.

Swimming Pool Financing for New Pool Construction & Remodeling

Building a custom swimming pool or updating an existing pool is a significant investment. Qualified homeowners may be able to explore third-party pool financing options for eligible new swimming pool construction, pool remodeling and related improvements. Review lender requirements, terms and total project costs before choosing a financing option.

Payne Pool Professionals is not a lender. Applications, rates, terms and approval decisions are handled by each financing provider.

How Much Does a Custom Swimming Pool Cost in Florida?

The cost of a custom swimming pool in Florida depends on the type of pool, size, construction details, property access, excavation conditions, selected finishes, equipment, permits and additional backyard features. A fiberglass installation with a standard shell and a fully customized gunite pool with a spa, extensive decking and elaborate water features are different projects and should not be compared as though they have one fixed price.

For a meaningful pool construction estimate, start with your property's location, the pool type you're considering and the features you want. Your local Payne Pool Professionals team can discuss the next steps for a project-specific design and quote.
