Excavation, plumbing, electrical, construction—each step gets done right the first time. We keep you in the loop without overwhelming you with daily updates about things you don’t need to worry about. When we’re done, you get a pool that’s ready to use, not a project that still needs six more months of “finishing touches.”

Inground Swimming Pool Installation Florida

What You Actually Get
Complete pool construction from excavation to the first swim. We’re talking about proper foundation work, professional-grade plumbing and electrical, and finishes that look good now and five years from now. In Portofino South, we see a lot of homeowners who want pools that complement their outdoor living spaces. That means thinking through things like sight lines from your house, how the pool works with your existing landscaping, and making sure the whole setup actually makes sense for how you live. We also handle the maintenance setup from day one. Your pool comes with a system that’s designed to be manageable, not a constant science project. Because the goal is enjoying your pool, not becoming a part-time chemist.
Most pool installations in Portofino South take 6-8 weeks from start to finish, but the timeline depends on your specific project and local conditions. Weather can affect excavation and concrete work, especially during Florida’s rainy season. We handle all the permit applications upfront, which typically takes 2-3 weeks in Broward County. Once permits are approved, the actual construction moves pretty quickly. The biggest variable is usually custom features—if you want waterfalls, custom lighting, or complex shapes, that adds time but we’ll give you realistic expectations from the beginning. We don’t pad timelines just to look good later. If we say 8 weeks, we mean 8 weeks, not 12 weeks with excuses.
Pool installation costs in Portofino South typically range from $35,000 to $80,000, depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic inground pool starts around $35,000, while custom designs with premium features can reach $80,000 or more. The biggest cost factors are size, depth, shape complexity, and add-ons like heating, lighting, or water features. Site conditions matter too—if we hit rock or need extensive grading, that affects the price. We also factor in Florida-specific requirements like proper drainage and hurricane-resistant equipment. We give you upfront pricing with no hidden fees. If something unexpected comes up during construction, we discuss it with you before moving forward, not after the bill arrives.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required by Broward County and local municipalities. Pool permits in this area require detailed plans, setback measurements, and compliance with local building codes. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, and we submit everything needed the first time to avoid delays. We know which inspectors cover Portofino South and what they look for during each phase of construction. You don’t need to learn county regulations or make trips to government offices. We handle the paperwork, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything passes the first time. That’s part of what you’re paying for—expertise that keeps your project moving forward.
In South Florida’s climate, pools need weekly maintenance including chemical balancing, skimming, and equipment checks. The year-round swimming season and frequent rain means your pool system works harder than pools in seasonal climates. Weekly tasks include testing and adjusting chlorine and pH levels, cleaning the skimmer baskets, and brushing walls to prevent algae. Monthly maintenance includes cleaning the filter and checking equipment like pumps and heaters. During heavy rain periods, you’ll need extra attention to chemical balance. We set up all our pools with maintenance systems designed for Florida conditions. We can also handle ongoing maintenance if you prefer to focus on swimming instead of chemistry. Either way, we make sure you understand what your pool needs to stay clean and safe.
Yes, we handle all types of pool repairs including leaks, equipment failures, surface damage, and structural issues. Common problems in South Florida include liner damage from UV exposure, pump failures from overuse, and surface deterioration from chemical imbalance. We start with a thorough inspection to identify all issues, not just the obvious ones. Many pool problems are connected—a small leak can cause pump problems, which leads to poor circulation and water quality issues. We fix the root cause, not just the symptoms. Our repair work comes with warranties because we use quality parts and do the job right. If your pool has been giving you problems, we can usually get it back to reliable operation without starting over from scratch.
Yes, we provide complete pool resurfacing services including plaster, pebble, and tile finishes. Pool surfaces in Florida typically need resurfacing every 10-15 years due to UV exposure, chemical wear, and constant use. Resurfacing involves draining the pool, preparing the surface, and applying new finish materials. We can also update the look with modern colors and textures while we’re doing the work. The process takes about a week, depending on the finish you choose. We’ll assess your current surface condition and recommend the best approach for your situation and budget. Sometimes spot repairs are enough, but if the surface is extensively damaged, complete resurfacing gives you a fresh start that lasts for years.
