Mike was great to work with on our in ground pool. He was responsive through out the process and assisted with any changes or questions during process of building and his team kept to schedule. Very happy with the choice and outcome. Extremely happy with process during and after installation to make sure we were all set!
Dannae Renaud
Edgewater was fantastic to work with and assisted us throughout the design process. There was never any pressure and once construction began they communicated often. We always knew what the next stage was and when we can expect it. Mike, Amy, & Rick were always quick to respond to any questions and I highly recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom concrete pools from Edgewater start around $60,000. Your final price depends on size, shape, finish, features, equipment, and site conditions, including access and soil. A site visit gives you a detailed proposal with a real number, not a guess. Request a quote to schedule yours.
Most projects take about 12 weeks from dig to swim. Permits, HOA approval, weather, and inspections can affect the timeline, and we keep you updated at every stage. Permitting and HOA review happen before excavation, so plan for that lead time on top of the build.
Design and proposal, permits and HOA approval, layout and excavation, steel and plumbing, shotcrete, tile and coping, decking, electrical and equipment, interior finish, then startup and orientation.
Yes. We pull all required permits and can prepare the drawings your HOA needs. We build in Charlotte, Lake Norman, Ballantyne, Fort Mill, and Rock Hill, and requirements vary by county and neighborhood, so we handle that paperwork for you.
Some conditions won’t show up until we dig. If we find something unexpected, we stop, explain what we found and your options, and put any cost change in writing before moving forward.
Concrete (shotcrete) pools can be built in any shape, size, or depth, and they last for decades. Fiberglass shells come in fixed molds, and vinyl liners limit your options. Concrete also allows custom features like spas, tanning ledges, water features, and elevated builds.
Yes. We design and build spas, spools, bubblers, sheer descents, fire and water features, and color LED lighting, and we can automate everything to your phone. We install Jandy and Pentair equipment and recommend what fits your pool and budget.
Yes. We offer financing through Lyon Financial and HFS Financial. Ask during your site visit, and we’ll walk through the options for your project.
