A backyard pool should be built for the way you live — and for the way Michigan weather actually behaves. Wet Custom Pools is a locally based team of custom pool builders serving homeowners throughout Oakland County, from Bloomfield Hills and Birmingham to Rochester Hills, Troy, Novi and West Bloomfield. Headquartered right here in South Lyon, we design, build and remodel inground pools, luxury spas and complete living spaces that are engineered to look stunning and hold up season after season.
No two Oakland County lots are alike. A walkout backyard in West Bloomfield, a wooded slope in Clarkston and a level lot in Troy each call for a different plan. That’s why every project begins with your vision and a close look at your property — grade, drainage, soil conditions, sight lines and how you actually want to use the space. From there we develop a custom design that complements your home’s architecture and gives you an environment that’s as practical as it is beautiful.
From new pool construction to full living enhancements, we focus on quality craftsmanship, premium materials and careful attention to every detail. The result is a pool that performs reliably, stays easy to maintain, and delivers years of enjoyment for your family.
With over 13 years of hands-on experience, we bring proven expertise, reliable planning, and quality craftsmanship to every pool project.
We have successfully completed 100+ pools, delivering durable construction, beautiful finishes, and dependable outdoor living solutions.
Every pool is designed around your property, lifestyle, and vision to create a truly personalized outdoor space.

Most custom inground pools take roughly 8–12 weeks of active construction once permits are approved, though timelines vary with design complexity, weather and site conditions. We give you a realistic schedule at the design stage and keep you updated at every phase.
The best time to plan is fall and winter. Designing and permitting during the off-season means excavation can begin as soon as the ground is workable in spring — so your pool is ready to enjoy for the summer. Popular slots fill quickly, so early planning is worthwhile.
Yes. We manage every municipal and county permit, coordinate inspections, and make sure your pool meets Michigan residential barrier (fencing) requirements. All the paperwork is handled in-house so your build stays compliant.
Absolutely — when it’s built correctly. We use properly reinforced structures, frost-depth plumbing and durable finishes, and we set your pool up for straightforward winterization. A well-built and properly closed pool handles Michigan winters for decades.
It depends on your goals, budget and yard. Concrete/gunite pools offer the most design freedom and durability, while other options can suit specific projects. During your consultation we’ll recommend the best fit for your property and how you plan to use the space.
Yes. We work with pool financing partners so you can spread the investment over time. Ask our team about current options during your consultation, or visit our financing page.
