Custom Luxury Pool Construction

Uncompromising structural engineering, detailed 3D architectural modeling, and master-level waterfront builds in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County.

What Our Clients Say

Our Custom Build Process

We guide you through three clear phases to go from blank grass to a backyard paradise.

1

3D Architectural Design

We map your property survey and design a custom pool layout scaled to your exact boundary dimensions.

2

Permitting & Engineering

We handle all municipal approvals, structural plans, high water table reviews, and coastal reviews.

3

The Heavy Build

From double-grid steel frames to custom pebble finishes, we execute every phase with clean local craftsmanship.

3D CONCEPTION

Visualizing Your Perfect Backyard

We believe in planning with precision. Before we touch a shovel, we create realistic 3D renderings of your custom pool, integrated spa, waterfalls, and landscaping layouts. This ensures every bench, deck tile, and step matches your lifestyle and property layout perfectly.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY

Travertine & Reinforced Casing

We build our pool decks to be both beautiful and durable. We install premium Silver Travertine coping and decks over concrete base slabs to prevent settling. Our structures are built with full screened enclosures or open waterfront spaces in mind, ensuring your pool deck and lanai feel like one integrated extension of your living space.

Building Uncompromising Pools in Pinellas County

Custom luxury pool building requires a deep understanding of local Florida geology, water table dynamics, and environmental codes. Erik & Ada Neikens bring four decades of St. Petersburg construction heritage to every residential project, ensuring your custom pool is engineered to last as long as your home.

Heavy-Duty Construction

We use thick "#5" structural steel grids, support all decks with concrete piers, and carry complete construction pop-out protection insurance.

CONTRACTOR WARNING

Why We NEVER Shoot Concrete Over Mud

"Some builders cut costs by shooting shotcrete straight onto mud without using spacer blocks (dobies) to lift the steel grid. Over time, that steel sinks into the wet dirt, rusts, expands, and splits the concrete floor. We use steel spacer blocks on every single build to ensure a full 3-inch concrete barrier protects our steel frame."
