Our Work Process

Our process begins with listening. We take the time to understand each client's vision, lifestyle, and goals so that we can create a truly personalized outdoor space. From our first conversation to the final walkthrough, we prioritize clear communication, transparency, and collaboration. We treat your property with respect, maintain a clean worksite, and remain responsive throughout the project.

01.

Consult

We provide consulting services to homeowners, builders, and architects seeking expert guidance at any stage of a pool project. With decades of experience in high-end pool construction, we offer insight on design feasibility, budgeting, materials, and construction techniques.

02.

Design

The design phase begins with understanding your vision, lifestyle, and the unique physical characteristics of your property. We blend creative design and leading-edge materials with sound functionality to develop an extraordinary custom outdoor space that will complement and enhance your home.

03.

Engineer

After the design is finalized and you've signed off, we begin our collaboration with licensed structural engineers. The engineers translate our design concept into detailed structural plans, ensuring the pool and water features meet all local building codes and load requirements.

04.

Build

Construction follows precise site preparation and layout, based on the engineered plans. Our skilled team ensures that each constructed watershape meets the highest standards for quality and durability.

What our customers say

Specialized Pools not only installed our gorgeous pool 18 years ago, they have maintained its beauty and kept it running beautifully since. They are true professionals who are not only experts in their field, they are responsive and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Marjorie R.
Brielle, NJ

Specialized Pools installed my pool in 2021, and has been my service provider ever since. Their service is great! Any issues I've had have been addressed the same or next day, and resolved quickly. I highly recommend them!

Katherine A.
Bay Head, NJ

Specialized pools designed and installed our new pool 16 years ago. We went with a classic design with built-in spa with dual heaters and custom spa Jets. The installation was seamless. They have been servicing us every year with terrific response time...they're very fair in their pricing and they're there when you need them the most.

Warren W.
Mantoloking, NJ

Specialized Pools built our pool and spa in 2014, and have provided service ever since. Their service has been fantastic — timely, flexible, when we've needed it, and pet-friendly — and when we've needed to replace or repair items, they've worked with us to quickly resolve the issue. Alexa and her team are the best!

Taylor W.
Bay Head, NJ

Specialized Pools is the best in the business! They have been servicing our pool and spa for over 10 years. They come consistently each week to perform the cleaning and do a tremendous job with skilled mechanics in taking care of our pool and spa. Also, if there is ever an issue, there seems to be a white truck of theirs in our driveway within a few hours to solve the problem with a smile. I could not be happier with their service, professionalism, and expertise.

John E.
Bay Head, NJ

The Specialized Pools team is just plain SPECIAL! From the moment we met Bob and Cathy Kniffin, we KNEW that we had found the perfect people and company to make our pool dreams come true. We had a fixed budget and BIG dreams, Bob and Cathy made that dream come true...I HIGHLY recommend Specialized Pools if you are considering a new pool, or an upgrade to your existing pool. Much like us, you will be pleasantly surprised by them and you will be so happy you chose them.
