Request a Service

We have been building outdoor spaces for Raleigh homeowners since 2015, and pool projects have been at the center of what we do for most of that time. NOAT Outdoor Living is a swimming pool contractor based right here on Lake Wheeler Road, and we know this city well. We know the clay-heavy soil that runs through South Raleigh. We know how the summers along the Neuse River corridor make a backyard pool less of a luxury and more of a necessity. And we know that Raleigh homeowners expect a lot from the people they hire, which is why we take every project seriously from the first conversation to the final walkthrough, the same as we do for pool renovation work in Fuquay Varina.

If you have been searching for swimming pool companies near me and wondering who actually knows what they are doing in the Triangle, we would like to be the ones you call first, the same way we're the ones called for pool renovation projects in Garner.

What NOAT Outdoor Living Builds for Raleigh Homeowners

We are not a company that does a little bit of everything. We focus on outdoor living, and pools are a major part of that. From inground pool installation to full outdoor kitchen and patio packages built around a new pool, we design spaces that work together. We handle swimming pool construction start to finish, including design, permitting, excavation, and installation. We also take on pool renovation and pool remodeling projects for homeowners who have an older pool that needs a serious update, including our pool renovation work in Holly Springs.

Our services include pool resurfacing, pool deck resurfacing, pool fence installation, pool safety covers, fiberglass pool installation, pool leak detection, pool pump repair, pool heater repair, pool repair services, and ongoing pool maintenance services. We are also the only pool service company in the Triangle area that is an authorized Desjoyaux Pools USA dealer, which gives our Raleigh clients access to a pool system that simply is not available anywhere else locally, the same exclusivity that carries into our pool renovation projects in Raleigh.

Our Four Core Services for Raleigh Pool Projects

Inground Pool Installation and Swimming Pool Construction in Raleigh

This is where most of our projects start. We work with homeowners across Raleigh to design and build inground pools that fit their yard, their budget, and how they actually plan to use the space. Raleigh's red clay soil requires specific excavation and drainage planning that not every pool builder accounts for. We do. Most of our new pool installations run between $75,000 and $150,000 depending on size, materials, and what is being built around the pool. Permitting in Wake County typically adds one to three months before we break ground, so we walk clients through that process early, the same as we do for pool renovation work in Rolesville.

Desjoyaux Framed Pools and Custom Swimming Pools

As the sole Desjoyaux Pools USA dealer in the Triangle, we offer something no other pool contractor in Raleigh can. Desjoyaux uses a self-supporting panel system that eliminates the need for a traditional concrete shell in many applications, which means faster installation and a cleaner finish. These are genuinely custom swimming pools built to fit the yard and the homeowner, not a catalog option. If you want something different from what every other neighborhood pool looks like, this is worth a conversation, much like our pool renovation projects in Wake Forest.

Pool Renovation and Pool Remodeling

A lot of Raleigh homes, particularly in established neighborhoods like Five Points, Budleigh, and the areas around Lake Johnson, have pools that were built in the 1990s or early 2000s. Those pools are often sound structurally but dated in every other way. We handle pool renovation and pool remodeling projects that bring those spaces current, including pool resurfacing, new coping, updated equipment, and pool deck resurfacing. We also add pool safety covers and pool fence installation to bring older pools up to current safety standards, similar to an outdoor fireplace installation in Willow Springs.

Outdoor Kitchens and Hardscaping Around Raleigh Pools

A pool by itself is one thing. A pool with a covered outdoor kitchen, a paver patio, and a stone firepit is a completely different level of outdoor space. We build all of it. Many of our Raleigh projects combine swimming pool construction with full hardscaping packages because it is simply more efficient to design and build everything at once. Retaining walls, concrete patios, paver work, outdoor fireplaces, and firepits all come together as one project with one contractor, the same as our patio installation work in Apex.

Why Raleigh Homeowners Choose NOAT Outdoor Living

Nick Veilleux started working in outdoor spaces in 2015, doing lawn care and softscape installation. Over the years, that work shifted toward hardscape and eventually pools, which is where most of our focus sits today. NOAT Outdoor Living was formally established in 2018, and every project since has been in the greater Raleigh area.

One thing we hear often from clients who found us by searching "pool contractors near me" is that they were surprised by how straightforward the process was. We give free estimates, we explain what permitting looks like before anyone signs anything, and we are honest about our timeline. We are typically booked three to six weeks out, which is worth knowing before you call, so reach out through the Contact page when you're ready.

We are fully licensed and insured, and we stand behind every project we complete.

One thing that actually shapes how we work in Raleigh specifically: the soil. South Raleigh in particular has expansive clay that moves with moisture, and that affects pool shell design and drainage planning. We account for that from the start, not after something goes wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to install a pool in Raleigh?

Most of our inground pool installation projects in Raleigh fall between $75,000 and $150,000. That range depends on size, finish materials, and what else is being built around the pool. We give free estimates so you have a real number before committing to anything.

How long does it take to build a pool in Raleigh?

Construction itself typically runs one to three months. But permitting through the City of Raleigh and Wake County can add another one to three months before we even break ground, so planning ahead matters.

What is a Desjoyaux pool and why is NOAT the only place to get one in Raleigh?
