Concrete Pool Construction in Altamonte Springs: common questions
Who issues pool permits in Altamonte Springs, FL?
The City of Altamonte Springs Building and Fire Safety. One city department handles building and fire permitting, plan review and inspections inside city limits, under the Florida Building Code and Florida Fire Prevention Code.
Does every Altamonte Springs mailing address permit with the city?
Only addresses inside Altamonte Springs city limits. Unincorporated areas nearby permit through the Seminole County Building Division. Confirm which office covers your address before applying.
What is the difference between gunite and shotcrete?
Both are concrete sprayed through a hose. Gunite is a dry mix with water added at the nozzle; shotcrete arrives wet from a mixer. Both produce a structural pool shell when applied correctly.
Why choose concrete over fiberglass?
Concrete is formed on site, so any shape, size or depth the lot allows is possible, including custom steps, benches, sun shelves and raised walls. Fiberglass shapes are fixed by the manufacturer.
