Meet the Jacksonville Team

The People Behind Payne Pool Professionals Jacksonville

Designers, project managers, construction professionals, and office teams work together to guide every Jacksonville pool project from the first conversation to the finished backyard.

Our Team

Different Roles. One Shared Commitment.

A successful swimming pool project depends on people who can listen, plan, design, coordinate, communicate, solve problems, and guide a project from the first conversation to the finished backyard. Payne Pools Jacksonville LLC serves eligible projects across Duval, Nassau, and St. Johns counties under Florida Pool Contractor License CPC1460975, supported by the experience and resources of Payne Pool Professionals' broader Florida team.

Designers help homeowners visualize what their property can become. Sales and project teams help turn those ideas into a defined plan. Pre-build and office professionals coordinate the details that prepare a project for construction. Field and construction teams help bring the design to life. Different people contribute at different stages, but everyone works toward the same objective: provide a professional experience and build a pool the customer will be proud to own.

The process begins with the property, the customer's ideas, and an initial conversation about pool types, priorities, features, and budget considerations.

02. Design

The design team develops a pool concept and three-dimensional visualization showing how the project can fit the backyard.

03. Selections

Customers make decisions about finishes, tile, coping, decking, equipment, lighting, water features, and other project details.

04. Pre-Build Coordination

The team works through applicable documentation, planning, permitting, engineering, scheduling, and construction preparation.

Project managers and construction professionals coordinate the major phases that turn the approved design into a physical pool.
