How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
We build the spa as part of the shell, raised just enough for the spillover, with seating contoured to the people who will use it. It shares the pool’s filtration, heats in under an hour from your phone and is ready when you are. A site assessment considers access, utilities, drainage, setbacks, local requirements and your priorities. We confirm engineering, permits, scope and a written quote before you sign.
- Evening use
- Cold mornings
- Spillover feature
Your project, step by step
- Before
Decide on seating count and placement at the design visit.
- During
Formed and shot with the pool shell, with separate jets, blower and heating plumbed in.
- After
Controls set up on your phone and a run-through of heat-up times.
Know the names.
The makers, products and standards we reference when we talk about integrated spas.
The social sun shelf
We compare Latham fiberglass forms and integrated tanning ledges, and keep the spa a separate conversation. We begin with how the family gathers, then test the shape against the actual site.
- Map loungers, shaded seating and swim circulation
- Check access, setbacks, utilities and drainage
- Discuss automatic-cover compatibility before choosing the shape
Manufacturer and product names belong to their owners and link to official information. No affiliation or authorized-provider status is implied.
Good to know.
Can a spa be added to an existing pool?
Yes, as part of a renovation; the site assessment confirms where it can sit.
How quickly does it heat?
A gas heater brings a spa to temperature in 30 to 60 minutes.
Questions worth bringing.
- How will spa seating, access and the relationship to the pool shape the design?
- Which heating, circulation, controls and isolation arrangements are included in the specification?
- How are overflow details, noise, maintenance access and shared versus separate systems addressed?
Before you book.
Every project starts on site. You receive a written scope, a schedule and a price range before design begins, and nothing moves to contract until you approve it. Final scope and pricing are confirmed after your site assessment.
“Integrated spas were the best call in the whole design. The crew left the yard cleaner than they found it.”
