Orlando Pool Builders Creating Backyards for Florida Living
A swimming pool can change more than a backyard. It can change how you spend time at home.
Payne Pool Professionals designs and builds custom gunite and fiberglass swimming pools for homeowners throughout the Greater Orlando area, serving communities across Orange, Polk, Lake, and Osceola counties.
From the first consultation and 3D pool design through selections, planning, construction, and completion, our Orlando team helps bring the pool and surrounding backyard together around your property, priorities, and the way you want to live outside.
Whether you are planning a new pool, remodeling an existing swimming pool, or upgrading aging equipment, Payne can help you create a backyard designed for life in Greater Orlando.
Designed for Your Home. Built for Your Backyard.
No two Greater Orlando properties are exactly alike.
Lot dimensions, access, setbacks, drainage, existing structures, neighborhood requirements, permitting, and the architecture of the home can all influence what belongs in a backyard.
That is why Payne begins with the property and homeowner instead of forcing every project into the same pool package.
Our team considers how you want to use the space, how the pool should relate to the home, the features that matter to you, and the practical conditions that can shape construction.
The result should not feel like a pool placed in the yard. It should feel like the backyard was designed around it.
Meet Payne Pool ProfessionalsCompare the Right Pool Types for Your Property.
Payne's Orlando team builds custom gunite and fiberglass swimming pools. Each construction method offers a different combination of design flexibility, available shapes, installation approach, finishes, and features.
Our team can help you compare those options against your property, priorities, desired design, and project budget.
Custom Gunite Pools
Gunite provides extensive flexibility for homeowners who want a pool designed specifically around their home and backyard.
Custom shapes, depths, steps, benches, tanning ledges, integrated spas, water features, lighting, and premium interior finishes can all become part of a coordinated design.
Gunite can be especially useful when the property or design calls for a pool that does not need to conform to a pre-manufactured shell.

Fiberglass pools arrive as professionally manufactured shells and provide a smooth finished surface with a different installation process from gunite construction.
Payne installs Latham fiberglass pools in Orlando, giving homeowners access to a selection of available shapes, sizes, depths, colors, steps, tanning ledges, and built-in seating configurations.
The right fiberglass model must fit the property, access conditions, desired layout, and the way you plan to use the pool.
Explore Orlando Fiberglass PoolsWhich Pool Type Is Right for You?
Neither gunite nor fiberglass is automatically the right choice for every homeowner.
Gunite generally provides greater design flexibility. Fiberglass offers a smooth manufactured surface and a more standardized selection and installation process.
The better option depends on your backyard, preferred design, desired features, access, budget considerations, and overall project priorities.
Compare Your Orlando Pool Options
Give Your Existing Orlando Pool a Fresh Start.
An older swimming pool may still have years of backyard life ahead of it.
Payne provides pool remodeling and replastering services for eligible Greater Orlando projects. Depending on the condition and scope of the pool, a renovation may include a new interior finish, waterline tile, coping, decking, lighting, equipment, or other design improvements.
The goal may be to address an aging surface, update an outdated appearance, improve performance, or bring the pool into better alignment with the rest of the property.
Our team can evaluate the existing pool and help determine which improvements make sense for the project.

Modern Equipment for a Better Pool Experience.
The equipment behind a swimming pool influences circulation, filtration, temperature, lighting, energy use, and everyday operation.
Payne installs and upgrades pool pumps, filters, heaters, lighting, automation, and other compatible equipment for eligible new and existing pools in the Orlando market.
The appropriate equipment package depends on the pool, property, features, desired controls, and project scope.

A pool is easier to plan when you can see how it may fit the property.
Payne's 3D design process helps homeowners visualize the proposed pool, layout, spa, decking, water features, and major backyard elements before construction begins.
This gives you an opportunity to consider proportions, placement, traffic flow, entertaining areas, and material relationships while changes can still be made during design.
A rendering is not a substitute for final engineering, permitting, or field conditions, but it can make the design conversation considerably clearer.

The Details Shape the Finished Backyard.
The pool shell establishes the structure, but the materials establish much of the finished character.
Interior finishes can influence water color and texture. Tile adds color and detail. Coping frames the pool. Decking connects the water to the rest of the backyard. Exterior finishes help spas, raised walls, and water features become part of a cohesive design.
Payne helps homeowners coordinate available selections so the pool, home, and surrounding outdoor space feel intentionally connected.

Explore Pool FinancingWhat Should You Know Before Building a Pool in Orlando?
A successful pool project begins before excavation.
Property dimensions, access, setbacks, easements, drainage, utilities, soil and site conditions, community requirements, permitting, pool type, materials, equipment, and the surrounding backyard scope can all influence the project.
The most useful plan begins with the actual property and a clear understanding of what you want the finished backyard to accomplish.
How Much Does a Pool Cost in Orlando?
There is no single useful price for every Orlando swimming pool.
Project cost can be influenced by the pool type, size, depth, property conditions, access, excavation, engineering, integrated spas, tanning ledges, water features, finishes, tile, coping, decking, equipment, heating, lighting, automation, and surrounding improvements.
A reliable estimate should be based on the property and a defined project scope.
How Long Does Pool Construction Take?
Timelines vary by pool type, design complexity, permitting, engineering, inspections, site access, weather, material availability, and the surrounding project scope.
The Orlando team can discuss a more realistic expected timeline after reviewing the property and proposed design.
Does an Orlando Pool Require Permits?
Yes. New residential pools generally require plans, permits, safety-barrier documentation, and inspections from the authority governing the property. The correct jurisdiction follows the parcel, not simply an Orlando mailing address.
In Orange County, residential pool submittals include zoning approval, a site plan, pool plans, structural information, circulation-system information, and a residential swimming-pool safety affirmation. Lake County's published checklist calls for a building-permit application, equipment specifications, zoning clearance and an approved site plan, with septic or other location-specific approvals when applicable. Osceola County lists pool installation and pool screen enclosures as building-permit work and provides a swimming-pool barrier affidavit. Polk County processes pools as a dedicated permit type through its building-permit system.
Payne coordinates the applicable planning and permitting process for contracted pool-construction projects. Property-specific requirements, municipal rules, HOA review, setbacks, easements, utilities, drainage, flood conditions, septic systems, engineering, and inspections can affect the final submittal and schedule.
How Do I Choose Between Gunite and Fiberglass?
Gunite generally provides the greatest flexibility in shape, depth, and integrated features. Fiberglass uses a pre-manufactured shell and offers a smooth surface with a different installation approach.
The right option depends on the property, design priorities, access, desired features, budget considerations, and available models.
