Panama City Beach, Florida / Est. 1958
Panama City pool construction, engineered the same way since 1958.
Sixty-eight years of gunite pool construction across Bay County and the Emerald Coast. The same family. The same in-house plaster company, paver decking crews, and warranty department that never routes you to a manufacturer. That is what proper pool construction looks like.

Panama City Pool Construction Since 1958
Sixty-eight years of pool construction in Panama City. Still the same standard.
Cox Pools has been doing gunite pool construction in Panama City and Bay County since 1958. The Panhandle coastline is full of our builds — and a fair number of the contractors now competing for this work learned the construction process working alongside our crews.
Good pool construction is not just about the shell. It is about who applies the interior finish, who sets the paver deck, and who answers the phone when the equipment needs service two years later. We own all three of those trades. That is what separates pool construction that lasts from pool construction that doesn't.

The Difference
What separates our pool construction from the competition.
A warranty department we own
You call us at 850.235.0095. Our department takes the claim, schedules the tech, and closes it out — no manufacturer runaround.
Our own plaster company
The interior finish is where pool construction quietly succeeds or fails. Ours is applied by a sister company — the crew answers to us and the warranty stops with us.
Paver decking under the same roof
One construction schedule from excavation to the last paver, without waiting on a sub who answers to three other builders.
Certified, and recognized recently
Certified Pool Builder (CPB) and certified Pebble Tec® installer, with regional and national recognition earned in the last three years.
The Construction Process
Five stages. Sixty-eight years behind each one.
We keep you informed at every stage of construction. You will never wonder what is happening next on your project.
Showroom Consultation
Start at our Panama City Beach showroom with two complete pools on site. Walk the tile, touch the finishes, see the water in real light before anything is drawn.
Design & Proposal
A construction plan drawn to your actual Bay County lot with a line-item proposal. You see both before anything is signed.
Permits & Engineering
We handle the structural engineering and the full Bay County permit package. Sixty-eight years of building here means we know these departments well.
Construction
Excavation, steel, plumbing, gunite, tile, deck, plaster, startup. Our own crews on the trades that matter most.
Startup & Long-Term Service
Balanced water, equipment walkthrough, and a warranty department that stays a single call away for as long as you own the pool.
Our Construction Projects
Every photo is a finished job.
No renders, no borrowed images. Every pool in this gallery was constructed by our crews and photographed on location across the Emerald Coast.

Financing
Start pool construction this season. Pay over the next few.
Most clients finance part of the construction. We work with third-party lending partners who understand pool builds — including draw schedules that release funds as construction progresses.
Ask About Financing
New construction and remodels both qualify
Resurfacing, retiling, paver decking, and equipment upgrades can all be financed alongside new pool construction.
Decisions in days, not weeks
Prequalification is quick. Knowing your budget before the design consultation makes the construction planning conversation far more productive.
No surprises in the paperwork
Your designer walks through the terms alongside the line-item construction proposal so you compare the same numbers the lender is.

Questions
Straight answers about pool construction in Panama City.
The things Panama City homeowners ask us before starting construction, answered without the runaround.
Call 850.235.7957
How much does pool construction cost in Panama City?
Construction cost depends on size, depth, interior finish, paver decking, and features. We give you a line-item construction proposal after the design consultation — not a ballpark over the phone — and we will tell you early if your budget and wish list don't align.
How long does pool construction take in Bay County?
Most residential pool construction in Bay County runs 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.
Do you handle Bay County permits for pool construction?
Yes. We handle structural engineering, the full Bay County permit package, and any HOA or architectural review submittals. Sixty-eight years of pool construction here means we know these building departments well.
Who handles warranty service after construction?
We do. Cox Pools has its own in-house warranty department. Call 850.235.0095 and our team opens the claim, schedules the tech, and closes it out — no manufacturer runaround.
Can you remodel or resurface an existing pool in Panama City?
Yes. Pebble and plaster resurfacing, retiling, new coping and paver decking, and full equipment modernization — including pools we did not originally construct. Our sister plaster company applies every interior finish.
Can I finance pool construction in Panama City?
Yes, through third-party lending partners for both new construction and remodels. Many programs use a draw schedule that releases funds as construction progresses. Ask at the consultation or call ahead.
Is Cox Pools licensed for pool construction in Florida?
Yes. Cox Pools is a licensed Florida pool contractor, a Certified Pool Builder (CPB), and a certified Pebble Tec® installer. Jandy is our exclusive equipment partner.
