If you're looking for a trusted pool builder in Birmingham, Alabama, Uptown Pools & Spas specializes in designing and building high-end custom gunite swimming pools tailored to your home and lifestyle. We proudly serve homeowners throughout Birmingham and surrounding communities including Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Homewood, Hoover, Helena, and Chelsea.

Our approach combines architectural design, engineering precision, and premium materials to create outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of your home.

Gunite pools are the gold standard for durability, design flexibility, and long-term value. As an experienced Birmingham gunite pool contractor, we design fully custom pools — not pre-fabricated shells.

Whether you envision:

• A clean, modern geometric pool
• A free-form natural lagoon style
• An infinity edge overlooking a slope
• A raised spa with spillway
• A tanning ledge with bubblers
• Fire features and outdoor living integration
• 
  

Uptown Pools & Spas delivers precision craftsmanship from excavation to final plaster.

Birmingham properties often include elevation changes, wooded lots, and challenging soil conditions such as "rock". Our team has extensive experience building pools on sloped lots and integrating retaining walls, structural engineering, and proper drainage solutions.

We regularly construct pools in:

• Mountain Brook estates
• Vestavia Hills hillside properties
• Hoover and Helena family neighborhoods
• Homewood urban backyards
• Lakefront and riverfront properties
• 
  

We understand local permitting processes and work closely with municipalities to ensure code compliance and smooth approvals.

A pool should feel intentional — not added on.

Our design-build process focuses on complete backyard transformation, including:

• Travertine or natural stone decking
• Artificial turf integration
• Boulder retaining walls
• Outdoor kitchens
• Fire features
• Custom steel railing and fencing
• Landscape coordination
• 
  

Every Birmingham pool project we complete is tailored to the home’s architecture and the homeowner’s vision.

✔ Licensed and insured Alabama general contractor
✔ Specializing in custom gunite pools
✔ Professional design consultation process
✔ Clear communication and structured build phases
✔ Premium material selections

We don’t mass-produce pools. We build intentional, architecturally aligned outdoor environments.

In addition to new construction, Uptown Pools & Spas provides professional pool renovations throughout Birmingham.

Services include:

• Pool resurfacing and replaster
