STEP 1 - CONSULTATION

Our custom pool design consultation transforms your ideas into a thoughtful, functional layout tailored to your space.

We evaluate your yard’s dimensions, style, and needs to create a design that fits your lifestyle and budget at home or in our showroom.

Detailed renderings and expert recommendations help you visualize your new pool with confidence.

STEP 2 - 3D Renders

Our 3D rendering design service brings your dream pool to life before construction even begins, allowing you to see every detail in stunning realism.

You can explore different layouts, finishes, and features to ensure the design perfectly fits your vision and backyard space.

This technology makes planning easier, reduces surprises, and ensures your final pool exceeds expectations.

STEP 3 - PERMITS

Each town on Long Island has different requirements for permits that takes expert knowledge to navigate. Avoid delays and headaches by letting our professional team handle all aspects of the permitting process. 

Pools By Flawless makes the process painless and seamless from our many years of experience dealing with town offices.

Please be prepared to provide a survey of your home, property. taxes, and signed affidavits. 

 

STEP 4 - EXCAVATION

Our excavation process begins with detailed planning (including consulting with 811) and precise measurements to ensure your pool’s shape and depth match the approved design.

Using professional-grade equipment, we carefully remove soil while protecting your property, landscaping, and surrounding structures.

This creates a stable, level foundation, setting the stage for a smooth installation and a pool built to last.

STEP 5 - SHELL CONSTRUCTION

Constructing the concrete shell begins with accurate excavation, form layout, and a reinforced rebar framework that establishes the pool’s shape and strength.

Vinyl pools use a concrete or shotcrete floor paired with concrete or steel wall panels, creating a stable base that ensures smooth surfaces and precise dimensions for the liner.

Gunite pools are formed with a fully pneumatically applied concrete shell that cures into a strong, monolithic structure, ready for finishing with plaster, tile, or pebble.

STEP 6 - SURFACE FINISH

Installing a vinyl liner begins with carefully smoothing and prepping the pool’s concrete base, then custom-fitting and vacuum-sealing the liner to create a perfectly tailored, wrinkle-free finish.

Gunite pool finishes involve applying plaster, tile, or pebble coatings directly to the cured concrete shell, forming a durable, watertight surface built for long-term performance.

Both methods transform the prepared shell into a finished, swim-ready pool that reflects the homeowner’s style and delivers lasting beauty.

STEP 7 - DECKING, COPING, LANDSCAPING

Our decking, coping, and landscaping services create a cohesive, visually striking environment that enhances the look and feel of your entire pool area.

We guide you in selecting durable materials, custom textures, and complementary finishes that blend seamlessly with your home’s architecture.

With professional installation and thoughtful design, your outdoor space becomes a polished, inviting retreat built for both beauty and everyday enjoyment.
