Layout and dig
Over-dig the sand, then compact it
Outer Banks ground is sand. The crew digs 6 to 12 inches past the shell and compacts it back before any steel goes in, so the floor sits on firm ground instead of loose fill.
Outer Banks pools, built and kept by the Cox family since 2004.
Custom pools and remodels from Corolla to Cape Hatteras, and weekly pool and spa service from Corolla to Nags Head. Four Seasons Pools & Spas, Point Harbor, NC.
One family, two halves of the same pool
Colin builds it. Jeff keeps it.
Jeff and his son Colin started out in 2004, building pools from Corolla to Hatteras for a Virginia Beach company while hundreds of houses a year went up on the Outer Banks. In 2007 they opened Four Seasons Pool Builders Inc in Point Harbor. Today Colin and his crew run construction and Jeff runs pool service.

Full-time techs, certified pool operators, no storefront.
Jeff's techs are full-time employees and Certified Pool Operators. They carry PDA field computers to record chemical readings for every pool and spa, and common parts on the truck. There is no storefront and no chemical counter: the work happens at your pool.

From the dig to the first swim
How a Four Seasons pool goes in, section by section.
Their own construction sequence, drawn as sections from the standards they publish, then handed across the waterline to the service crew.
Steel
#4 rebar through walls and floor
Half-inch #4 bar is tied through the walls and the floor. Plans are reviewed against the 2012 ISPSC codes and walked through at a pre-construction meeting before the steel is inspected.
Shotcrete
8 inch walls, 12 inch locking beam
Shotcrete goes on at a minimum of 8 inches in the walls and floor, which Four Seasons rates 33% stronger than the industry standard, under a 12 inch locking beam with a 4-bar bond beam.
Tile, coping, deck
The waterline gets set
Waterline tile and coping go on, then the deck. The deck's wire mesh is bonded to the pool equipment so stray ground current has somewhere safe to go.
Finish and Pool School
Interior finish, clean, then Pool School
The interior finish goes in (white to midnight blue), the site is cleaned, and the owner gets Pool School: how the equipment runs and what to watch for.
Across the waterline
Then Jeff's crew keeps it
From here the pool belongs to the service side: weekly water analysis, brushing, vacuuming, baskets and filter pressure, recorded by a certified pool operator on a field computer.
Built, remodeled, and kept clean every week.
Six jobs, one family. Construction runs from Corolla to Cape Hatteras; weekly service from Corolla to Nags Head.
Custom pool construction
Shotcrete, fiberglass and vinyl liner pools, free form to infinity edge, each drawn as a 3-D rendering before the dig.
Pool remodeling
Replaster and quartz finishes with a 5-year warranty, plus heating, filtration, lighting and water features.
Pool decks
Travertine, Belgrade and cement pavers in place of poured concrete that cracks and chips.
Weekly pool and spa service
Private homes from $80/wk, rental pool and spa from $145/wk, with no charge for extra visits in occupied weeks.
Opening and closing
A four-day opening with alum flocculation, winterizing in the fall, and Winter Watch with emailed photos.
Spa and equipment repair
A Sta-Rite & Hayward Certified Service Center for heaters, pumps, filters, salt cells and spa covers.
The Cox family pool, built 2010
Sixteen summers on the original vinyl liner.
The family's own pool went in in 2010 and still has the liner it was built with. That is what weekly chemistry and a shell built to their standard look like over time on the Outer Banks.

What customers wrote on HomeAdvisor
“Jeff returned our first call immediately and showed up the same day. He is knowledgeable and solved our problem quickly. We will continue to use Four Seasons Pool.”
“The service rep (Jeff) was very knowledgeable and came ready to solve the problem. He completed the repairs and remained on site until he was certain the problem was resolved.”

No. There are no extra charges for extra visits during occupied weeks, and no mid-week charge for weeks the house sits empty. Four Seasons is a preferred vendor for Outer Banks rental companies, so the schedule is built around turnover days.
