We’ll discuss the anticipated schedule during the planning process.
Do you handle Hilton Head Island pool permits?
Yes. New Wave Pools helps manage the permitting and project coordination associated with your pool construction.
The Town of Hilton Head Island requires construction projects to go through its permit review process, which can include building, floodplain, natural resources, stormwater and zoning review depending on the scope and location of the project.
Can you build pools in Hilton Head Island's gated communities?
Yes. New Wave Pools works with homeowners throughout many of Hilton Head Island’s private and gated communities.
Because individual communities may have their own architectural review standards, setback requirements, construction procedures and approval processes, these guidelines are considered during the planning and design stages.
Can you build a pool on a marshfront or waterfront property?
Can you renovate an existing Hilton Head Island pool?
Yes. In addition to new pool construction, New Wave Pools offers pool renovations and upgrades.
Depending on your existing pool, renovations may include resurfacing, new tile and coping, decking upgrades, LED lighting, new equipment, automation, water features, spas or other improvements that give an older pool a more contemporary look and improved functionality.
