Services
Pool Design
Our pool design service creates customized layouts that maximize property potential while meeting client preferences. We provide detailed plans incorporating shape, depth variations, and integrated features like spas or waterfalls. The process includes on-site measurements, 3D visualization, and material selection assistance to ensure complete client satisfaction before construction begins.
Gunite Construction
We apply pneumatically projected gunite to form durable, structurally sound pool shells. Our process follows engineering specifications with reinforced steel frameworks and precise thickness standards. This method allows for creative pool shapes while maintaining long-term integrity against Florida's climate conditions through proper curing and waterproofing techniques.
Tile Installation
Our tile installation service offers premium interior finishes using client-selected materials. We provide expert guidance on tile selection for both aesthetic appeal and functional durability. The installation process includes proper surface preparation, waterproofing membranes, and precision placement to create seamless transitions between pool surfaces and decorative elements.
Decking
We install durable sand-set paver decking systems that combine visual appeal with practical functionality. Our decking solutions include proper slope for water drainage, expansion joints for thermal movement, and non-slip surfaces for safety. The installation integrates seamlessly with pool coping while maintaining easy maintenance characteristics for Florida's climate.
Screen Enclosures
Our screen enclosure installations provide essential safety barriers while maintaining unobstructed views. We construct code-compliant structures with aluminum framing and impact-resistant screening materials. The enclosures protect against debris and pests while allowing optimal sunlight penetration, completed with secure entry systems and proper ventilation considerations.

Do not waste your time shopping around if you want to be able to sleep at night throughout the entire pool construction process. Great workers that clean up after themselves daily. Quality, communication and honesty sets them apart from other companies. I would definitely use them again! Not the cheapest company, but you definitely get what you pay for, thanks again Mike!

Design Concepts & Construction turned out to one of the best contractors we have ever worked with. Our pool is absolutely beautiful. The price was very reasonable and every worker who came here did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend them for anyone interested in building a pool. We are very happy. The first person we met was Jacqueline White who was so friendly and easy to work out all of the details with. Mike Pisano always responded immediately whenever I had a question. Ken gave us a great training session. Just a fantastic job overall!

We highly recommend Design Concepts to anyone looking for a quality pool and complete lanai. Ken and Mike were wonderful to work with and not only provided a quality product but also quality service to go along with it. Sure, there are cheaper pools out there but you get what you pay for. We are totally satisfied with our pool, spa, and lanai. Thank you Ken and Mike!

By far the best pool designer in Cape Coral! If you are looking for a higher end pool, look no further. Ken, the owner, is exceptional! He does not try to oversell you anything. He also did something that the other pool guys didn't. He first listened to what we wanted, and then explained to us what sounded good and why certain things were not such a great idea. The other guys tried to tell me what I wanted.
He talked us out of a very expensive pool finish and told us how we could get a better bang for our money. From start to finish their crews worked to ensure everything was exactly as we had planned. They were very upfront on the timeline of the pool installation. Mike, the operations manager, was always available to answer any questions or address any concerns we had.

We recently had a pool designed and constructed by Design Concepts. We could not be happier. From our initial meeting to designing the pool to the final inspection from Ken everything went smoothly and on schedule. As an added bonus our neighbors were completely satisfied as there was minimal noise and debris. I highly recommend them.

We had a pool designed and built by Design Concepts. They did an absolutely amazing job! The crew was discreet, quiet and able to finish the job in less than three months (in the summertime in Florida!). I will definitely hire Design Concepts if we move and build another pool. They were fantastic to work with!
