What to Expect With MarCo Pools & Spa

  • Design & Preparation

    It all begins with an idea. Once you contact our office staff, we’ll arrange for a design consultation at your home, during which we perform a complete analysis of your site and discuss your vision.

  • Pool excavation in expansion soil will be over-dug 12″ and backfilled with gravel to help stabilize the foundation of the pool and prevent shifting in the soil.

  • Steel Reinforcement.

    We exceed industry standards by constructing the steel reinforcement with ½”/#4 rebar and 80% tie in galvanized wires (compared to 30%)

  • Pool Plumbing

    Pool plumbing is laid with individual lines to skimmers and main drains to create maximum flow. Adjustable inlets and control valves ensure efficient water filtration

  • Gunite

    MarCo Pools & Spa is a true Gunite builder, applying dried Gunite to the walls and floor at an 8″ thickness to make your pool 33% stronger than the industry standard.

  • Bond Beam

    We construct a 12″ continuous bond beam over the pool wall, using ½”/4 rebar around the entire pool rim, making the structure up to 33% stronger.

  • Electrical

    After securing a sturdy equipment pad, all state-of-the-art Pentair pool equipment is put in place and tied into the pool plumbing. We then install the control panel, when needed, and connect all lights, heaters, pumps, switches, control systems, and any special features to the circuit breakers. All electrical work is carried out by a fully qualified and licensed electrical contractor.

  • Masonry

    After the Gunite has cured, your masonry work will begin. Your chosen stone or tile will be laid on the upper rim of your pool and the interior pool surface that you’ve chosen will be applied.

  • Pool Start-Up and Know-Hows

    When your pool is ready, we’ll start up your system and balance the water chemistry for you. We’ll then show you how to operate your pool system and walk you through the day-to-day maintenance and care. At this time you may want to discuss your pool service options with your technician. Consistent cleaning and care will prolong the life of your pool. If you do not wish to do this yourself, we offer a range of pool cleaning and maintenance plans to choose from
