Panama City Beach, Florida / Est. 1958
Three generations of the same family. The same plaster company, the same paver decking crews, and the same warranty department that never hands you off. When Panama City homeowners ask which pool company to call, Cox Pools is still the name that comes back.

Why Panama City Homeowners Choose Cox
Cox Pools started in 1958, when a Panhandle family decided a swimming pool ought to be engineered as carefully as the house behind it. Today the coastline from Panama City through Bay County and beyond is full of our work, and more than a few pool companies now competing with us learned the trade working alongside our crews.
What separates a pool company that lasts sixty-eight years from one that does not is accountability. We own the plaster company that applies every finish. We run the paver decking crew. We staff the warranty department. When something needs attention after your pool is finished, one call to us closes it — not a runaround to a manufacturer or a subcontractor who has moved on.
What Our Pool Company Builds
One company, one schedule, one point of accountability — from excavation through the finish coat and long after the water goes in.
Engineered gunite shells designed around your Panama City lot, your setbacks, your sightlines, and how you actually use a backyard. Steel, plumbing, and hydraulics specified as one complete system — not assembled from whatever is available that week.

The Difference
You call us at 850.235.0095 — not Jandy, not Hayward, not a call center. Our department takes the claim, schedules the tech, and closes it out.
The interior finish is where a pool quietly succeeds or fails. Ours is applied by a sister company, which means the crew answers to us and the warranty stops with us — not somewhere upstream.
One schedule and one standard from excavation to the last paver, instead of waiting on a sub who answers to three other contractors at the same time.
Certified Pool Builder (CPB) and certified Pebble Tec® installer, with regional and national recognition earned in the last three years — not on a plaque from 1994.
How It Works
Our pool company keeps you informed at every stage of the build. That is not something every Panama City pool company can say.
Start at our Panama City Beach showroom, where two full pools sit on site. Walk the tile, touch the finishes, see the water move. Most clients decide more in an hour here than in a month of online research.
A plan drawn to your actual Bay County lot — grades, setbacks, sightlines, and how the sun crosses the yard — paired with a line-item proposal. You see both before anything is signed.
We handle the structural engineering, the Bay County permit package, and any HOA or architectural review submittals. After sixty-eight years we know these building departments well.
Excavation, steel, plumbing, gunite, tile, deck, plaster, startup. Our own crews on the trades that matter most, with a schedule you can actually see and track.
Balanced water, a full equipment walkthrough, and a warranty department that stays a single phone call away for as long as you own the pool.

Also servingFinancing
Most clients finance some part of the project. We work with third-party lending partners who understand pool construction — including draw schedules that release funds as the build progresses, not all at once up front.
Ask About Financing
Resurfacing, retiling, paver decking, and equipment upgrades can all be financed the same way a brand new pool can.
Prequalification is a short application. Knowing your budget before the design consultation makes that conversation far more productive.
Your designer walks you through the loan terms alongside the line-item proposal so you are always comparing the same numbers the lender is.
What Panama City Clients Say
Questions
The things Panama City homeowners actually ask us on the phone, answered without the runaround.
Call 850.235.7957
Cost depends on size, depth, interior finish, paver decking, and features. We give you a line-item proposal after the design consultation rather than a number over the phone — and we will tell you honestly if your budget and your wish list do not align before you commit to anything.
Most residential projects in Bay County run a few months from signed contract to first swim. Permitting and weather are the two biggest variables. We give you a construction schedule at the start and keep it updated as the build moves forward.
Yes. We handle structural engineering, the full Bay County permit package, and any HOA or architectural review submittals. After sixty-eight years in this market, we know the local building departments very well.
We do. Cox Pools has its own in-house warranty department. You call 850.235.0095, our team opens the claim, schedules the technician, and closes it out. We do not route Panama City homeowners to a manufacturer's 1-800 number.
Yes. We offer pebble and plaster resurfacing, retiling, new coping and paver decking, and full equipment modernization — including pools we did not originally build. Our sister plaster company applies every interior finish.
Yes, through third-party lending partners for both new construction and remodels. Many programs use a draw schedule that releases funds as the build progresses. Ask about this at your design consultation or call us ahead of time.
