Request a Service

Apex has earned a reputation as one of the better places to live in the Triangle, and it shows in how homeowners approach their properties. The neighborhoods along Salem Street, out toward Kelly Road, and into the newer developments off Ten-Ten Road tend to attract people who are serious about their investment. They are not just buying a house. They are buying a long-term home, and the backyard is part of that. We have been working as a swimming pool contractor in Apex for years, and the projects we build here reflect the kind of attention to detail that Apex homeowners expect. From pools to full outdoor living builds, we do this kind of work throughout western Wake County.


We hear from Apex homeowners fairly regularly who found us while looking up swimming pool companies near me and were glad to find a contractor who knows this part of the county rather than one who treats Apex as an afterthought on a long list of service areas.

Pool and Outdoor Living Services We Offer Apex

NOAT Outdoor Living handles the full scope of swimming pool construction and outdoor living work for Apex homeowners. We manage design, permitting coordination, and installation directly. The only parts we do not handle are the parts that are not ours to do, like final inspections from the county. Everything else, from excavation to finish work, stays with our crew.


Services we provide include inground pool installation, fiberglass pool installation, custom swimming pools, Desjoyaux framed pools, pool renovation, pool remodeling, pool resurfacing, pool deck resurfacing, pool fence installation, pool safety covers, pool leak detection, pool pump repair, pool heater repair, pool repair services, pool maintenance services, outdoor kitchens, paver patios, concrete patios, outdoor fireplaces, stone firepits, landscaping, and retaining walls. As the only authorized Desjoyaux Pools USA dealer in the Triangle, we are the one local pool service company that can build that system for Apex homeowners who want something outside of what every other pool builder offers.

Four Areas Where We Do Our Best Work in Apex

Inground Pool Installation and Swimming Pool Construction in Apex

Apex has a diverse mix of housing stock, from the older homes near downtown along Salem Street to the larger newer builds in communities like Bella Casa and Haddon Hall off Haddon Hall Drive. Lot size and grading vary quite a bit depending on where you are. Some of the properties along the ridgelines in western Apex have significant grade changes that factor into how we plan swimming pool construction. We look at every site individually before we recommend a pool type or layout. Construction typically runs one to three months once permits are issued, with Wake County permitting adding another one to three months. Projects generally range from $75,000 to $150,000 depending on scope and site conditions.

Pool Renovation, Resurfacing, and Remodeling in Apex

Apex has been growing steadily since the early 2000s, which means there is now a meaningful inventory of pools in town that are approaching the fifteen- to twenty-year mark. At that age, pools typically need attention: pool resurfacing, pool deck resurfacing, equipment replacement, coping work, or a more complete pool remodeling if the original design no longer fits how the homeowner uses the space. We also install pool safety covers and pool fence installation as part of renovation projects, which matters for Apex families with young children.

Custom Swimming Pools and the Desjoyaux System Near Apex

We design custom swimming pools specific to the homeowner and the property rather than selecting from a standard catalog. For Apex homeowners who want a pool that most local contractors cannot build, we offer the Desjoyaux framed pool system. NOAT Outdoor Living is the only authorized Desjoyaux Pools USA dealer in the Triangle, which means we are the only swimming pool contractor in the Apex area who can offer this system. It is a genuinely different approach to pool construction and worth understanding before you settle on a builder.

Full Hardscaping and Outdoor Living Packages for Apex Properties

A well-built pool surrounded by a basic concrete deck is a missed opportunity. Apex homeowners tend to think bigger than that, and so do we. We regularly design and build full outdoor living setups around pool projects here, including outdoor kitchens, paver patios, concrete patios, retaining walls, outdoor fireplaces, and stone firepits. Designing the pool and the surrounding space together from the start means everything fits properly, drains correctly, and looks like it was planned that way, because it was.

Why Apex Homeowners Work with NOAT Outdoor Living

Nick Veilleux has been doing outdoor work in the Triangle since 2015, and NOAT Outdoor Living has been operating as a formal business since 2018. Apex has been part of our service area since the beginning. We have built a range of projects here, from straightforward pool installs to complex multi-phase outdoor living builds, and we understand how the local approval process works and what it takes to get a project done properly in Wake County.



Something specific we have noticed about Apex through years of working here: the clay content in the soil in many parts of town, particularly in the older neighborhoods west of downtown and into the areas closer to Jordan Lake, is significant. Heavy clay holds water differently than the sandier soils you encounter in other parts of Wake County. That affects how we handle drainage around pool construction, and it is the kind of thing that only comes from doing the actual work in a specific place rather than assuming the same approach works everywhere.


We offer free estimates on all Apex projects. We are licensed and insured, and we are usually three to six weeks out when homeowners reach out. If you have been researching pool contractors near me and want to talk to someone who builds projects in Apex regularly, call us directly.
