Pool Renovation and Construction Built Around Captiva
Many Southwest Florida pools are 10 to 30 years old and sit at homes that have been updated around them, and the pool is often the last thing to catch up. A full renovation brings the pool, deck and enclosure up to the standard of the home.
Building pools across Southwest Florida since 1994, we also build new pools on Captiva and design the outdoor living around them. Either way, the project is shaped by the island. Captiva is permitted through Lee County, FEMA flood zone rules apply and vary by lot, and Captiva can only be reached by road through Sanibel. We plan for all of it before work begins.
Every project starts with a site visit. We look at the pool, the lot, the home's elevation and how you want to use the space, then recommend a renovation or a new build based on what your property needs.
Our Work on the Island
What We Renovate and Build on Captiva
Most Captiva projects fall into one of these six, and many combine more than one.
New interior finish, tile, decking and equipment, and layout changes such as a sun shelf, a spa or a reshaped pool where the structure allows.
Storm repairs and rebuilds
When a storm damages a pool, deck or enclosure, we assess what can be saved, then renovate or rebuild it and handle the permit.
Bringing a pool up to a raised home
When a home has been raised, an elevated pool or raised spa can bring the pool up to meet the new living level.
A pool designed around your home and the space your lot allows.
Decks and screen enclosures
Brick pavers as standard, with travertine, shell stone and marble as upgrades, plus new or replacement screen enclosures.
Summer kitchens, covered lounges and shade planned with the pool as one space.

How a Captiva Pool Project Runs
On Captiva, most delays come from permitting, flood zone review and getting crews and materials onto the island. Your Project Coordinator plans for each of them and is your single point of contact from the first visit through the final walkthrough.
Site Visit
We visit the property and review the existing pool, the lot, the home's elevation and how you want to use the space. Your survey and elevation certificate are useful to have on hand.
Design and Selections
Our design team develops the plan with you, then walks you through finishes, tile, decking and features before anything is finalized.
Permitting
We prepare and submit the permit with Lee County and handle any flood zone review your property needs.
Construction
We schedule crews and deliveries around the drive onto the island, and your Project Coordinator keeps you updated at each stage.
Final Walkthrough
A full inspection, equipment walkthrough and handover of your finished pool.
What Our Homeowners Say
My experience from the proposal, selections, to the very end exceeded expectations. James, Pat, and Millie were very responsive and made an extra effort to see this project through to my satisfaction.
The communication I got every step of the way was excellent and not often seen these days. Tim and Gineska in the office were wonderful to work with, and all the crews communicated and could think on their feet.
They completely redid our lanai, pool and spa. They helped us figure out tile and paver selections by meeting us at the different vendors. They went above and beyond to achieve our vision and we had no issues.
Local Knowledge
Planning a Pool Project on Captiva: What to Know
After more than 30 years and over 1,000 pools across Southwest Florida, we plan for the island details before they turn into delays.
Lee County Permitting
Captiva is not part of the City of Sanibel. Captiva is not a city of its own, so pool permits go through Lee County. The county requires a permit to build or renovate an in-ground pool. We prepare and submit the application for you. Want more detail first? Our guide to building a pool on Sanibel and Captiva covers permitting on both islands.
Flood Zones and Elevation
Captiva properties fall into FEMA flood zones that vary by lot, and new construction has to meet flood elevation standards. Flood zone and elevation affect how a pool is engineered and how it meets the house, on a renovation as much as a new build.
Site Access and Scheduling
Captiva can only be reached by road through Sanibel, and many lots are tight. We plan equipment, crews and material deliveries around access so the schedule holds.
After a Storm
If your pool, deck or enclosure was damaged in a storm, start with a site visit. We assess the shell, plumbing, deck and enclosure, tell you what can be saved, and quote the renovation or rebuild. Our hurricane season guide covers how to protect a pool before the next one.
