Fine Design Build is a third generation, design-build company. We shepherd our clients, working side by side, with architects and engineers that we have long-standing relationships with, pushing design past traditional scope limitations. We navigate through the challenging permitting, involving shorelines development, ECA steep slope areas, wetlands. Permitting can be a huge challenge particularly on waterfront parcels. We are experts at removing obstacles and creatively designing homes with minimal to zero impact to environment. After designing your home, we shepherd you through the challenging environment of building. We are very selective about our team and in our rare circumstance as a company, the general contractor, is onsite performing a good percentage of excavation, storm water management, septic, concrete, framing and finishes. We have a unique approach with full transparency where money is spent. The customer has their foot on the gas petal/brake throughout the entire build.
"We hired Jason after finding him through Angi. This has been one of the best decisions of our move. We were moving from out of state there was a small window to secure someone to work on our home. We had a very limited budget and of course a huge list of priorities. Jason helped us determine how to best spend our money. He explained why each project would make sense and why it should be a priority. It was obvious this home had been neglected and there were some mold issues that we were unaware of. Jason helped to remediate this issue and his priority above all was to make sure our house was healthy. He also painted the entire interior of the house and added beautiful crown molding and baseboards. Our house looks amazing and we have the utmost trust in Jason, he had keys to the house before we even moved to the state! He has done a beautiful job and I know we will hire him for future projects.

"We have worked with Washington Engineering for two different projects in the last 9 months. In both cases, we worked with Bryson who was very responsive and courteous. The plans were generated in a timely manner. The cost was very reasonable…though this is of course secondary to safety and compliance. I would not hesitate to use their services again. Thanks Bryson and team!"

Most municipalities require a building permit before you put up a pool house. Rules and fees vary widely depending on where you live and the local regulations in your area. Check with your local building department or general contractor early on in your pool house project, so permit costs and timelines don’t catch you off guard.
If you’re building a custom pool house, you can expect the entire process to take two to three months from the design phase to the end of construction, or even as much as a year for very large or complex pool houses. If you’re installing a prefabricated kit or shed, the process is much faster, averaging one to three days.
A pool house is generally sized between 100 square feet and 800 square feet, which means its dimensions directly reflect its intended functionality. A compact pool house, measuring 100 to 150 square feet, serves as an efficient storage or utility space, while a pool house of 300 square feet or more offers a comfortable room for changing, relaxation, and socializing. The size you choose depends on the intended use and design of your outdoor space, ensuring that the structure meets your lifestyle needs.
The common types of pool houses include guesthouses, standard pool houses, and sheds. A guesthouse is a small lodge adjacent to the primary home that provides overnight accommodations with essential amenities. A standard pool house is built near the pool to offer storage, changing facilities, and a relaxation zone. A shed is a simple structure designed for storing pool equipment and garden tools. Each type serves a distinct purpose and enhances your outdoor living experience.
