Helping Tampa Bay Relax
The Island Way Since 2006
Roughly 30 years ago, before we were designing luxury pools and outdoor living spaces, the Island Way Pools team was known for delivering high-quality hardscape solutions to Clearwater Beach and waterfront properties throughout Pinellas County. While on these properties, we saw a clear need in the Tampa Bay area for pool contractors who not only provided reliable construction but also had an eye for luxurious design. In 2006, we expanded our services to meet that need, offering new pool construction, pool remodels, and complete outdoor living construction. Since then, we’ve proudly transformed over 1,500 backyards for homeowners across Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando, Sarasota, and Manatee counties.
Our team has been dedicated to the same goal: to build Tampa Bay the highest quality pools with a touch of luxury. No matter the size of your pool project, we want you to go through a stress free process while our team of pool pros constructs your dream outdoor living space. Are you ready to start living The Island Way?

I am a Florida native and have lived in Pinellas County my entire life. I graduated from Palm Harbor University and went to St. Petersburg College.
My role here at Island Way is to over-see and perform the tasks involved in the sales process. I strive to provide exceptional customer service as I communicate with clients on a day to day basis.
I design all 3D renderings in house and they are always custom to the clients property and dream for their backyard. I include everything in your rendering from pool design, spa, screen enclosure, outdoor kitchens, custom decks, fire features, water features, and infinity edges. If you can dream it, we can build it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a pool project cost?
All of our pool projects are custom quoted based on features included, materials selected, and site conditions. Currently up to a 350sf (roughly 12'x30' or 14'x25') custom pool projects are starting at only $55,000! Check out our blog post diving deeper into the cost of a pool project: "How Much Does a Concrete Pool Cost?"
I have a small backyard. Can I still have a pool built?
You can absolutely have a pool built in a small backyard! Small or uniquely shaped properties just require some flexibility with the design as we work around your county's regulations. Small pools, cocktail pools, plunge pools, and spools have been a popular trend in recent years as people look to fit more than a pool in their outdoor living space!
How long does it take to build a pool?
On average a pool project takes 3-4 months from the start of permitting to you being able to swim. After you have your initial design and have made your material selections, our Director of Sales Zach can let you know if any aspect of your pool project may affect this timeline. Check out our blog for a deep dive into the pool building timeline: "How Long Does It Take To Build A Pool?"
Will my pool or outdoor living project have a warranty?
Yes, every component of your pool project has a warranty offered and the warranty varies by item. During the installation process, we will get you everything you need to know about our warranties for the products we are using. Check out our warranty page to learn more: "Warranty & Service Request"
