Pool Installation in Panama City Since 1958
A pool installer Panama City has trusted for three generations.
Cox Pools has been installing pools in Panama City and Bay County since 1958. The Panhandle coastline is full of our installations, and a fair number of the installers now competing with us learned the trade working alongside our crews.
A pool installer is only as good as the trades they control. We own the plaster company that applies every interior finish we install. We run the paver decking crew that sets every deck. And our in-house warranty department stays reachable after the installation is complete — not a manufacturer's call center, not a subcontractor who has moved on. One installer, one warranty, one phone number.

What separates this pool installer from the rest of the field.
A warranty department we own
You call us at 850.235.0095. Our department takes the claim, schedules the tech, and closes it out — the same installer stands behind the work after installation day.
We install our own plaster finish
The interior finish is installed by our sister plaster company — the crew answers to us, not to a subcontractor who has moved on after installation.
In-house paver installation
One installation schedule from excavation to the last paver set, without waiting on a separate paving crew who answers to three other builders simultaneously.
Certified, and recognized recently
Certified Pool Builder (CPB) and certified Pebble Tec® installer, with regional and national recognition earned in the last three years — not legacy credentials from decades ago.
The Installation Process
Five stages. Sixty-eight years behind each one.
A reliable pool installer keeps you informed at every stage. You will always know what is happening on your project and what comes next.
Showroom Consultation
Start at our Panama City Beach showroom with two complete pools on site. See the tile, touch the finishes, and walk the installed paver decking before anything is drawn or signed.
Design & Proposal
A full installation plan drawn to your actual Bay County lot paired with a line-item proposal. You see both before any installer asks you to sign.
Permits & Engineering
We handle the structural engineering and the full Bay County permit package before installation begins. Sixty-eight years of installing here means we know these building departments well.
Installation
Excavation, steel, plumbing, gunite, tile, deck, plaster, startup. Our own crews install the trades that matter most, on a schedule you can actually track.
Startup & Long-Term Service
Balanced water, equipment walkthrough, and a warranty department that stays one call away for as long as you own the pool — the same installer is accountable after installation day.
Installed by Our Crews
Every photo is a finished installation.
No renders, no borrowed images. Every pool in this gallery was installed by Cox Pools crews and photographed on location across the Emerald Coast.

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

Straight answers from Panama City's pool installer.
The things Panama City homeowners ask before hiring a pool installer, answered without the runaround.
Call 850.235.7957
How much does pool installation cost in Panama City?
Installation cost depends on size, depth, interior finish, paver decking, and features. We give you a line-item installation proposal after the design consultation — not a ballpark over the phone — and we tell you early if your budget and wish list don't align.
How long does pool installation take in Bay County?
Most residential installations in Bay County run a few months from signed contract to first swim. Permitting and weather are the two biggest variables. We give you an installation schedule at the start and keep it updated.
Does your pool installer handle Bay County permits?
Yes. We handle structural engineering, the full Bay County permit package, and any HOA or architectural review submittals before installation begins. Sixty-eight years of installing here means we know these departments well.
Who handles warranty service after the installation?
We do. Cox Pools has its own in-house warranty department. Call 850.235.0095 and our team opens the claim, schedules the technician, and closes it out — the same installer stands behind the work after installation day.
Can your installer remodel or resurface an existing pool?
Yes. Pebble and plaster resurfacing, retiling, new coping and paver installation, and full equipment upgrades — including pools this installer did not originally build. Our sister plaster company applies every interior finish.
Can I finance my pool installation?
Yes, through third-party lending partners for both new installations and remodels. Many programs use a draw schedule that releases funds as the installation progresses. Ask at the consultation or call ahead.
Is Cox Pools a licensed pool installer 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.
