General Questions
What types of pools do you build?
At JJ Pools, we specialize in custom concrete pools. Concrete pools are the most durable and customizable option, allowing for unique pool shapes, pool tile designs, and pebble plaster finishes.

The average pool construction time frame varies depending on the complexity of the design. On average, a new pool takes 3 to 6 months from excavation to final pool plastering.
