What We Do
A Different Way to Plan a Pool
Pool project planning shouldn't start with three pushy contractor quotes and a high-pressure sales call. It should start with information — what pools actually cost in your market, what permits your city requires, what your lot conditions mean for the build, and what separates a good contractor from a bad one.
Canvas Pool Designs helps homeowners plan pool projects the smart way. Our team does the homework on local pricing, permit rules, and contractor track records so you don't have to. By the time you talk to a builder, you already know what your project should cost, what questions to ask, and what answers to expect. The actual construction is handled by properly licensed contractors. Our job is making sure you start with a real plan instead of a sales pitch.
How It Works
Three Steps to a Smarter Pool Project
01
Tell Us About Your Project
Share your location, the type of pool you're considering, your timeline, and your budget range. Takes about two minutes. The more detail you share, the better our team can plan.02
Get a Real Plan
Our experts put together a project overview based on your inputs — cost expectations, permit requirements for your area, build timeline, and what to look for in a contractor. No sales pitch.03
Move Forward With Confidence
When you're ready to build, properly licensed contractors handle the actual construction. You go in informed, with a real plan, and you stay in control of the project from start to finish.What We Cover
Everything You Need Before Building
Real Cost Information
Honest pricing ranges by pool type, region, and feature set. No bait-and-switch quotes, no fake "starting at" numbers. You see what real projects actually cost in your market — gunite, fiberglass, saltwater conversions, screen enclosures, and every add-on that moves the number.Local Rules and Permits
Every city and county has its own permit process, setbacks, barrier requirements, and code quirks. Our team tracks the local rules so you know exactly what your project needs before construction starts — including where to apply, what documents to prepare, and how long approval takes.Pool Types and Features
Gunite, fiberglass, saltwater, screen enclosures, tanning ledges, lighting, automation — we break down what's worth the money, what's not, and what works best for Florida's climate and your lot conditions.A Real Plan Before You Buy
By the time you're ready to talk to a contractor, you'll have a clear picture of your budget, timeline, and what your project actually involves. That's the difference between planning and guessing — and it's the step that saves homeowners the most money.Where We Serve

Why Start Here
Why Homeowners Start With Us
The pool industry runs on quotes and commissions. Most contractors spend more on lead generation than on the actual job, which means the price you're quoted has marketing costs baked in. Canvas Pool Designs isn't a builder. We don't sell pools. Our team helps you plan the project so the quote you eventually get is a real number for real work — not an inflated guess designed to close a sale.
