Custom pool design, new construction, weekly maintenance, and complete backyard transformations for the most distinguished homes in Collier County.
Naples is where the standard for outdoor living is set. The homes here are built with intention, and the pools are expected to match. From the waterfront estates of Port Royal to the golf communities of Pelican Bay, Grey Oaks, and Mediterra, every property has its own character and its own set of requirements.
We have been working across Collier County for more than fifteen years, building and maintaining pools for homeowners who expect the work to be done correctly the first time. When you contact Avant-Garde, you speak with the owners. That is how every project starts, and it is how every project is managed through to completion.

Permits run through the Collier County Building Department. Residential pool permits typically take four to eight weeks from submission. We manage the entire process, from drawings to final inspection sign-off, so nothing falls on the homeowner.
Port Royal and the Gulf-facing properties require additional design work around dock clearances, seawall setbacks, and coastal setback requirements. We plan for all of this at the design stage, not after the permits come back.
Most Naples communities have their own architectural review process. Enclosure styles, deck materials, and pool positioning all require approval in many neighbourhoods. We are familiar with the requirements across the major communities and handle all coordination.
Naples buyers expect travertine decking, natural stone coping, and premium surface finishes as standard. We specify accordingly and source materials that hold up under Florida's UV exposure and climate over the long term.
Much of Collier County sits at low elevation with a seasonal water table that affects excavation planning. We account for drainage, dewatering, and hydrostatic conditions on every build in this market.
Many Naples projects are part of broader residential builds or renovations involving architects, interior designers, and landscape firms. We work alongside your existing project team and adapt to the timeline and design standards already in place.
When you ask for Avant-Garde Pools and Spas, you will work directly with the owners. Like most niche businesses, there is no better way to have full control and undivided attention than when a client is dealing with the owners hand in hand. Our entire line of services is focused on a White Glove approach.
A standard new pool build in Naples takes twelve to sixteen weeks from permit approval. Collier County permits typically take four to eight weeks, so from the initial consultation to a finished pool you are looking at five to six months in most cases. We manage the full timeline including all inspections.
Every weekly visit includes a water sample collected at depth, digital photometer testing, LSI-based chemical dosing, Orenda enzyme treatment, brushing, vacuuming, basket cleaning, filter maintenance, and an inspection of all visible equipment and pipe connections. Quarterly visits include running the lights and heater to confirm everything is working before you need it.
Yes. We manage all permitting through the Collier County Building Department, including the structural drawings, permit application, fees, and all required inspections throughout the build. You do not need to contact the county at any stage.
It depends on what the pool needs. A full remodel can include resurfacing, tile replacement, deck replacement, coping, equipment upgrades, and enclosure work. We assess the pool's current condition first and recommend only what actually needs doing, rather than proposing a blanket replacement of everything.
We start by measuring actual water loss and separating it from normal evaporation. If a genuine leak is confirmed, we pressure-test the plumbing and use ultrasonic detection to locate any pipe leaks. Dye testing is used to identify leaks at fittings, the skimmer, or through the shell. Most leaks are found without excavation.
We drain the pool, assess the substrate beneath the current surface, prepare the surface correctly, and apply the new finish. The startup after replastering is as important as the application itself. We follow NPC startup protocols to set the water chemistry correctly from the first minute, which determines how the surface performs over the next decade.
Yes. We offer a complete design and build service that covers the pool, deck, coping, hardscape, enclosure, outdoor lighting, and landscape. Clients can hand the entire backyard project to us from the first conversation.
Call us or fill in the consultation form and one of the owners will be in touch within one business day. We visit the property, assess the site, and talk through what you are looking for before any proposal is made.
