Custom Pool Construction in Delray Beach
Delray Beach’s mix of Intracoastal estates and gated golf communities like Delaire and Mizner Country Club calls for pools built to match — clean-lined geometric designs, sun shelves, integrated spas, and infinity edges where the lot allows. We finish everything in natural stone, porcelain, or travertine, engineered for South Florida’s storms and salt air, and walk you through a full 3D design before construction starts.
Pool Remodeling & Renovation for Delray Beach Homes
Many of Delray’s older beachside cottages and Lake Ida-area homes are due for more than a resurfacing — the pools were built to a different standard than the renovated homes around them now. We handle the full rebuild: new tile and coping in natural stone or porcelain, added sun shelves and spas, saltwater conversion, LED and fiber-optic lighting, and a Pebble Tec or Diamond Brite resurfacing that brings the pool up to the level of the house.
Natural Stone Decking & Outdoor Living
Delray Beach homeowners expect their backyard to do double duty as entertaining space, and the deck is what makes that happen. Our hardscape division installs travertine, porcelain, paver, and natural stone decking along with outdoor kitchens, cabanas, and covered living areas — the kind of setup that turns a pool into a full outdoor retreat. See the full range of materials on our natural stone and porcelain pool decking page.
Do I need a permit to build or remodel a pool in Delray Beach?
In most cases, yes. A building permit is generally required for new pool construction, and for remodels once the work goes past a cosmetic resurface into structural, electrical or plumbing changes; exact requirements depend on the scope of work. Florida law also requires an approved pool safety feature, such as a barrier, safety cover or approved alarms, before final inspection. On properties in or near Delray Beach’s historic districts there can be additional review to account for, which is worth establishing early rather than mid-permit. Current requirements are posted by the City of Delray Beach Building Division.
