Six Clear Steps

Know what happens next—from the first model choice through pool school.

01

Choose a Manufacturer and Pool Model

Start with San Juan or Latham, then compare the dimensions, depth, shape, entry design, features, and intended use of the models that fit your backyard.

02

Share Your Property and Project Information

Provide the selected model, contact information, backyard and access photos, a current survey when available, desired decking and options, financing interest, and any known HOA requirements.

03

Consultation and Property Review

Pelican Pools reviews the goals and key property conditions, including access, setbacks, utilities, drainage, equipment location, HOA considerations, and the local permit path. A site visit is scheduled when needed.

04

Design, Equipment, and Backyard Options

The pool placement and surrounding space are refined with the selected equipment, decking, coping, tile, lighting, heating, water features, and other approved options. Visual planning can help the homeowner understand the layout before construction.

05

Written Proposal, Contract, and Project Preparation

The written proposal confirms the manufacturer, pool model, included equipment, selected options, project scope, allowances, exclusions, pricing, and payment terms. After approval and contract, the team coordinates required project preparation, permitting steps, scheduling, and homeowner responsibilities.

Important: San Juan and Latham packages are confirmed separately. The approved written proposal and contract—not general website examples—control the final project scope and price.
06

Installation, Startup, and Pool School

The major installation milestones include excavation, shell delivery and placement, leveling and backfill, plumbing and equipment, required electrical work, inspections, the concrete collar, decking and finishing work, startup, cleanup, and homeowner training.

Prepare for Your Consultation

A few useful items make the first review more productive.

Property Survey

A current survey helps identify property lines, structures, easements, and the available planning area.

Backyard Photos

Include the proposed pool area, home, gates, side yards, and possible delivery or equipment access.

Preferred Models

Save the San Juan or Latham models that best match your preferred size, shape, and intended use.

HOA Information

If applicable, collect the current pool, fencing, equipment, decking, and exterior-change requirements.

After Installation

Startup and pool school complete the handoff.

Pelican Pools explains the installed equipment, basic operation, routine care, and the next support steps so the homeowner begins with a clear understanding of the new pool.

Process Questions

Clear answers before the project begins

01

Do San Juan and Latham pools follow the same planning process?

The core Pelican Pools process is the same: choose a model, share property information, review the site and design, approve the written proposal, complete permits and preparation, and install the pool. Pricing, availability, included equipment, and model-specific options are confirmed for the selected manufacturer.

02

What should I prepare for the first project review?

A current property survey, clear backyard and access photos, the preferred pool model, and any HOA requirements are helpful. Pelican Pools can explain what else is needed after reviewing the property and project goals.

03

When is the final pool price confirmed?

The final price is confirmed in the written proposal after the pool model, property conditions, access, equipment, decking, options, permits, and other project details are reviewed. The approved written proposal and contract control the final scope.

04

What happens after the pool installation is complete?

Pelican Pools completes startup and provides pool school so the homeowner understands the equipment, basic operation, and routine care. The team also explains the next support steps for the completed pool.
