HOW IT WORKS

Four Steps to Your Dream Pool

01

Share Your Vision

Tell us how you live outdoors. We walk your property, note sun, setbacks, and lot flow, and learn what matters to your family.

02

See It in 3D

We build a custom 3D model in your actual backyard. See depth, materials, lighting, and finishes — including photorealistic Gemini renders.

03

Refine & Build

Adjust anything until it's perfect. Once approved, we handle permitting, engineering, and construction. Your price is locked — no surprises.

04NEW

Daily Progress Updates

Never left guessing. Get daily photo and video updates directly from Mike. One point of contact, first call to final walkthrough.

Why Pelican Bay

Most pool companies ask for $20K+ before a shovel hits the ground. We ask you to watch us earn it.

Milestone-based payments mean you pay as each phase is completed — your investment follows the progress, not the promise.

◇

$0 Down to Start

No large upfront deposit. Your first payment isn't due until the first phase of construction is complete.

◈

Pay for Progress

Six clear milestones from shell to finish. You see the work, then you pay for the work.

◆

One Point of Contact

The person who designs your pool is the same person on-site during the dig. You're never handed off.

▣

Transparent Pricing

The number in your proposal is the number you pay. No hidden fees, no mid-project surprises.
