Frequently Asked Questions

1. What’s the best time of year to start a pool construction project in Acadiana?

The best time to begin pool construction in Acadiana is during the fall or winter months. Starting early helps you avoid springtime delays and ensures your pool is ready by summer.
2. How long does it take to build a pool?

Every pool design is different, so timelines will vary. Most pool and spa build take an average of 12–14 weeks. However, project complexity and weather conditions can impact the schedule. If your project includes structures or requires engineering, it may take longer. Once your design is finalized and the contract is signed, we’ll provide a detailed estimated timeline.
3. Do you offer financing?

Yes! At Pelican Coast Pools & Outdoor Design, we’re here to make things easier for you. We understand that a pool is a major investment, and we can help connect you with flexible financing options through trusted lenders we’ve partnered with over the years.
4. How soon can you start my project?

After signing your contract, allow at least 30 days for HOA approval if required. For city projects, permitting and inspections can also add time to the front end and during construction. We’ll guide you through every step to keep the process as smooth as possible.

5. How much does a swimming pool cost?

Pool costs vary depending on factors like size, depth, materials, utility runs, yard slope, access for excavation, and local permitting. Because each pool we build is fully customized, pricing will differ based on your specific vision. We’ll provide a detailed quote after your initial consultation.
6. How will I know if I like the design before it’s built?

At Pelican Coast, we use advanced 3D design software that integrates AI to create a realistic representation of your project—placed right into your actual backyard. You’ll be able to see your vision come to life before construction even begins!
7. Can you build outdoor living spaces along with the pool (Kitchens, Pergolas, Decking)?

Yes! We build complete outdoor living spaces along with your pool, including outdoor kitchens, pergolas, decking, and patios. Our team designs everything to flow seamlessly, creating a backyard retreat for families across Lafayette, Broussard, Youngsville, and Acadiana.
