  • What makes Blevins Pools different from other pool contractors in Ozark?

    Blevins Pools stands out among in ground pool companies because of our deep knowledge of Missouri building codes, soil conditions, and climate considerations, as well as our full-service approach that includes design, installation, and ongoing maintenance all under one roof. Our factory-trained crews use premium materials, and we back our concrete pools with a 10-year structural warranty, ensuring high-end craftsmanship and long-term peace of mind.

  • Can you build a pool on a sloped or uneven lot?

    Absolutely. Our engineers perform a thorough site grading analysis and can incorporate retaining walls, berms, or multi-level decks to create a level pool basin while preserving the natural topography, a level of expertise you can expect from professional swimming pools contractors.

  • How long does a typical concrete/gunite residential pool installation take?

    A typical concrete or gunite residential pool installation takes about 12 to 16 weeks from permit approval, including excavation, plumbing, electrical, and finish work, which is a standard timeline for a high-quality swimming pool service project.

  • What's the difference between fiberglass and custom concrete pools?

    Fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured shells that are delivered and installed quickly, usually within one to two weeks. They are low maintenance, energy-efficient, and resistant to algae thanks to their smooth, non-porous surface, but they come in limited shapes and sizes and can be difficult to transport to certain locations. 


    Custom concrete pools, also known as gunite or shotcrete pools, are built on-site and offer complete design flexibility, making them ideal for unique shapes, luxury features, and high-end finishes like tile or pebble. While they are extremely durable and customizable, they take longer to build, typically six to twelve weeks, require more maintenance, and tend to be more expensive, which is why many homeowners rely on experienced in ground pool companies to help them choose the right option.

  • Are your pools energy-efficient?

    Yes. We install variable-speed pumps, LED lighting, and optional solar heating, and for commercial clients, we can also integrate heat recovery systems and automation controllers, which we've found can reduce energy usage by up to 30%. According to the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, 68% of local swimming pool contractors report higher demand for energy-efficient pool designs, highlighting the growing importance of energy efficiency in modern pool projects. This is the kind of efficiency-focused approach you can expect from a professional swimming pool service provider.

  • 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)?

    Yes. Our commercial team ensures every pool meets ADA accessibility requirements, local health department regulations, and industry safety standards such as fencing, signage, and water quality monitoring. We also provide regular compliance audits, making us a trusted choice for professional swimming pools contractors managing commercial pool projects.

  • How much does a pool cost?

    The cost of a custom pool can vary depending on design, materials, and site conditions, but in our experience, most high-quality custom pools typically start around $115,000.
