Compliance Snapshot (Remodel Context)
Drains & VGBA: Confirm compliant covers and sump geometry when interiors change.
Electrical Bonding/Grounding: Re-verify during equipment and lighting updates.
Barriers & Gates: Self-closing, latching; height and clear-zone requirements.
ADA Access (where required): Lifts or sloped entries; coordinate power and clearances. We coordinate drawings, submittals, and inspections with the AHJ and your HOA/board.

Pre-plumb for future features to phase costs.
FAQ
Can we keep one pool open while another closes? Often yes-with careful phasing, safety separation, and clear guest routing. Contact us to plan the best approach for your site.
How long does a cosmetic refresh take? Commonly a few weeks post-approvals; structural or deck replacements extend scope.
What about noise for guests? We schedule heavy demos early-day, consolidate haul-off, and protect paths and landscaping.
