Signature Pools & Spas Fresno has earned a reputation for premium craftsmanship, innovative designs, and tailored service. With decades of experience in the Central Valley, our team specializes in creating custom pools and spas that blend seamlessly with your home’s style and your lifestyle needs.
From the initial consultation to final touches, our design-forward approach ensures you get more than just a swimming pool—you get a transformative backyard experience.
Step 1: Envision Your Ideal Backyard
The journey starts with inspiration. Ask yourself:
Do you want a resort-style pool with waterfalls and a tanning shelf?
Are you thinking about adding a spa for year-round relaxation?
Would you prefer a minimalist, modern design with LED lighting and sleek tile work?
Take time to explore online galleries, Pinterest boards, and local showrooms for ideas. Signature Pools & Spas Fresno also offers an extensive portfolio of past projects to help you find the perfect inspiration.
Step 2: Schedule a Design Consultation
Once you have a rough idea of what you want, the next step is scheduling a design consultation with our expert team. During this stage, we’ll:
Discuss your budget and timeline
Evaluate your backyard space
Learn more about your lifestyle and preferences
Explore material, color, and design options
Recommend features such as waterfalls, deck jets, or fire bowls
Using state-of-the-art 3D design software, Signature Pools & Spas Fresno creates a visual mock-up of your future pool. You’ll get to “walk through” your new backyard before construction even begins.
Step 3: Navigating Permits and Planning
One of the biggest challenges in building a pool is understanding local building codes and permit requirements. Thankfully, our team at Signature Pools & Spas Fresno handles all of that for you. We’re deeply familiar with Fresno County regulations, zoning laws, and HOA guidelines.
We take the stress off your plate by:
Preparing and submitting permit applications
Coordinating inspections
Ensuring all construction is up to code
Our efficient process ensures your project stays on schedule and complies with all legal standards.
Step 4: Customizing the Pool Features
This is where the luxury really starts to shine. Customization allows your pool to reflect your personality, lifestyle, and comfort. Popular features offered by Signature Pools & Spas Fresno include:
Infinity edges: For a high-end visual appeal
Tanning ledges: Perfect for lounging in shallow water
Built-in spas: Seamless integration for relaxation
Saltwater systems: A gentler alternative to traditional chlorine
LED lighting: For stunning nighttime ambiance
Smart automation: Control your pool’s temperature, lights, and jets from your smartphone
From water features to fire elements, we design every pool to become a centerpiece of your outdoor living space.
Step 5: Construction and Installation
Once the design is finalized and permits are approved, construction begins. Signature Pools & Spas Fresno uses only top-grade materials and employs experienced contractors who treat your home with care and professionalism.
Our construction phases include:
Excavation and groundwork
Plumbing and electrical setup
Shotcrete or gunite application
Tiling and interior finishing
Decking and landscape integration
During this time, we maintain clear and consistent communication so you always know the status of your project.
Step 6: Landscaping and Finishing Touches
A luxurious backyard escape isn’t complete without the right landscaping. We work with trusted partners to help you design an environment that complements your pool and enhances your outdoor lifestyle. Consider:
Tropical palm trees or drought-resistant succulents
Custom pavers and elegant walkways
Outdoor kitchens, BBQ islands, or pergolas
Privacy screens or custom fencing
Cozy fire pits or lounge areas
These finishing touches elevate your backyard from simple to spectacular.
Step 7: Pool School and Ongoing Maintenance
Once your dream pool is ready, we don’t just leave you to figure things out. Signature Pools & Spas Fresno provides every new pool owner with a “pool school” session. We’ll teach you how to operate your system, balance your water chemistry, and maintain your pool’s cleanliness.
We also offer maintenance services and equipment upgrades, so your pool continues to perform beautifully for years to come.
