Blevins Pools

  • What types of inground pools does Blevins Pool design and install?

    At Blevins Pool, we specialize in designing and installing custom concrete pools, including freeform, geometric, and infinity edge styles. Our services cater to both residential and commercial clients, such as hotels, resorts, and community centers. Each pool is meticulously engineered to align with your aesthetic preferences, financial considerations, and property constraints.
  • How does the design process work from concept to completion?

    Our design process begins with an initial consultation and site visit, where we discuss your budget and style preferences. We then move on to creating 3D CAD renderings and selecting materials. The next steps involve engineering, obtaining necessary permits, and ensuring local code compliance. We then provide a detailed construction schedule before beginning the build. The process concludes with a final quality inspection and owner sign-off.
  • What makes Blevins Pool different from other pool contractors in Ozark?

    Blevins Pool stands out due to our deep local expertise, which includes thorough knowledge of Missouri building codes, soil conditions, and climate. We offer comprehensive services encompassing design, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Our commitment to high-end craftsmanship is evident in our factory-trained crews, use of premium materials, and our 10-year structural warranty on concrete pools.
  • Can you build a pool on a sloped or uneven lot?

    Certainly. Our engineering team conducts thorough site grading analysis and can incorporate various elements such as retaining walls, berms, or multi-level decks. These solutions allow us to create a level pool basin while preserving the natural topography of your property.
  • How long does a typical concrete/gunite residential pool installation take?

    A typical concrete or gunite residential pool installation usually takes between 12 to 16 weeks from the time of permit approval. This timeline includes all aspects of the project, including excavation, plumbing, electrical work, and finishing touches.
  • What's the difference between fiberglass and custom concrete pools?

    Fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured shells that can be installed rapidly, often within 1-2 weeks. They require minimal maintenance, are energy-efficient, and resist algae growth due to their smooth, non-porous surface. However, they come in limited shapes and sizes and may be challenging to transport to certain locations. Custom concrete pools, also known as gunite or shotcrete pools, are constructed on-site and offer complete design flexibility. They're ideal for unique shapes, luxury features, and high-end finishes. While extremely durable and customizable, they typically take 6-12 weeks to build, require more maintenance, and tend to be more expensive.
  • Are your pools energy-efficient?

    Indeed, we prioritize energy efficiency in our pool designs. We install variable-speed pumps, LED lighting, and offer optional solar heating. For our commercial clients, we can integrate heat recovery systems and automation controllers, which can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%.
  • What ongoing maintenance services do you provide?

    Our maintenance services include weekly cleaning and chemical balancing, monthly equipment inspections covering pumps, heaters, and filters. We also provide seasonal services such as opening and closing pools, which includes winterization and spring start-up. Additionally, we offer repair and refurbishment services, including tile replacement, resurfacing, and leak detection.
  • Do you handle commercial pool compliance (ADA, health codes, safety)?

    Our commercial team ensures that every pool meets ADA accessibility requirements, local health department regulations, and industry safety standards. This includes proper fencing, signage, and water quality monitoring. We also offer regular compliance audits to maintain ongoing adherence to these standards.
  • How much does a pool cost?

    The cost of a custom pool varies depending on the design, materials used, and site conditions. However, our high-quality custom pools typically start around $115,000. We encourage you to reach out to us for a personalized consultation, where we can discuss your vision and provide a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs.
