Gunite pool design, engineering, and construction, managed start to finish.

Eagle attracts homeowners who want space, quality construction, and outdoor living that performs. As one of the custom pool builders in Eagle with deep experience across Ada County, Maverick brings the same level of design and project management to every Eagle project, whether it's a straightforward neighborhood lot or a hillside foothills build with additional engineering requirements.
We work in the established neighborhoods near Eagle Island State Park and along the Boise River, the newer subdivisions in the central and western parts of town, and the foothills communities north of Eagle Road. Every project starts with a free design consultation and a 3D rendering of the finished pool in your actual backyard, before any engineering dollars are spent. To understand what makes a gunite pool different from other construction methods, see our full breakdown.
You work with one point of contact from your first design consultation through final inspection. That means you're not tracking down separate people for engineering questions, permit status, or construction updates.
Whether your permit comes from the City of Eagle or Ada County depends on your address. Homes inside Eagle city limits are permitted by the City of Eagle Building Division. Homes outside city limits in unincorporated Ada County go through Ada County Development Services.
Maverick prepares and submits the full permit package, coordinates the licensed Idaho engineer who stamps the structural calculations for your pool shell, and schedules every required inspection. You're not responsible for managing any part of that process.
For the full list of what the City of Eagle requires at submittal, see the City of Eagle pool and spa submittal requirements.
Eagle requires site-specific engineered plans for every gunite or shotcrete pool. Generic engineering is not accepted. That means every Maverick project in Eagle is submitted with a full engineer-stamped package tailored to your specific lot, soil, and site conditions.
The permit package includes the full site plan showing the property, home, all easements, and the pool's location with distances to property lines and easements. No part of the pool wall or curbing can sit in any easement, and the site plan has to show that clearly.
For heated pools, a gas pressure test is required before inspections proceed. Electrical and mechanical approvals must be in hand before the site and rebar inspection. The electrical final comes before the building final. A building final is required in Eagle, and a pool that is never finaled results in an expired permit, which the City treats as a non-conforming structure. We carry every project to its building final so the permit is closed properly.
To understand how pool permitting works in the Treasure Valley, see our full guide. We don't quote review timelines because they change with City volume.
Most Eagle subdivisions require an HOA approval letter at the time of permit submittal. Plans are not accepted without it when it is required. This means HOA review needs to happen before permit submission, not after.
Maverick helps put together the HOA design package, including the site plan, 3D rendering, materials list, and other details the architectural review committee typically needs. Getting this right the first time avoids redesigns and delays. For a full picture of how HOA review works across Treasure Valley, see our post on HOA approval for a pool in the Treasure Valley.
No part of the pool wall or curbing can sit in any easement on your lot. The plat shows where easements run, including utility easements, drainage easements, and irrigation easements that are common across Eagle neighborhoods.
Plat maps showing easements are available through the Ada County Assessor's online documents. We review your plat as part of the early design process and lay the pool out around recorded easements from the first draft, so the site plan is accurate at submittal and no redesign is needed after engineering has started.
Many Eagle homes sit near the Boise River, and a portion of those lots are in mapped flood zones. We check the flood zone for every lot we build on before design begins.
Pools in Flood Zone X or an area with a LOMR or LOMR-F require written documentation stamped by a registered design professional certifying that the pool resists hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and buoyancy. A hydrostatic relief valve must be installed during construction.
Pools in a Special Flood Hazard Area (the 100-year floodplain) carry additional requirements. A City Floodplain Development Permit must be in hand before the building permit. The pool deck must be at or above the base flood elevation, and pool equipment must be at or above the base flood elevation as well. An Elevation Certificate is required when the project is complete.
For official flood zone information for your address, the City publishes its mapping resources at City of Eagle floodplain information.
Sloped lots in the foothills north of Eagle can require grading and drainage review under the City's Hillside Grading and Drainage Checklist. Hillside communities such as Avimor and Valnova have their own added City checklists, and we review those specific requirements for your lot during the design phase.
A slope doesn't make a pool harder to enjoy. It often opens up design possibilities that aren't available on a flat lot: raised spas that spill into the pool, spillways, retaining walls that double as seating, and terraced decking that steps down with the grade. The licensed Idaho engineer designs the shell and structure for the specific conditions of your site. For a deeper look at how site conditions affect pool design across Treasure Valley, see how soil conditions in Treasure Valley affect pool design.
Idaho's build season means fall and winter are the right time to get ahead of construction. With HOA review, engineering, and permitting done before the season opens, you're ready to break ground when conditions allow rather than waiting on paperwork while the calendar moves.
Homeowners who plan in the fall consistently get better placement in the build schedule. For a step-by-step approach to timing your project, see planning a pool build before the ground freezes.
Every Eagle pool is priced on its own merits. The variables that move the number most are size and shape, depth, whether you add a spa, a sun shelf, or water features, interior finish selection, tile and coping, decking material and square footage, equipment grade, site access, soil type, slope, floodplain requirements, and any outdoor living additions.
The right number for your yard comes from a free design consultation, not a range on a website. See what a custom pool costs in the Treasure Valley and what is a sun shelf and should your pool have one for more detail on what drives the scope.
Financing available through Lyons Financial, subject to lender approval. Ask about it during your design consultation. Learn more about financing.
If you have an existing pool that needs new plaster, new tile, equipment upgrades, or added features, we handle pool remodels in Eagle as well. A pool remodel in Eagle often includes resurfacing the interior, replacing outdated tile and coping, and upgrading to a variable-speed pump and modern automation. We can also add a spa, water features, or a new patio to an existing property. For tips on keeping a gunite pool in good shape through Idaho winters, see gunite pool maintenance in Idaho's climate.
Many Eagle homeowners come to us not just for a pool but for the whole backyard. Patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, shade structures, and the pool are designed together in 3D so every element works as a single space rather than a collection of separate projects.
One point of contact means one conversation for all of it. You're not coordinating three separate contractors or managing a timeline that depends on each one finishing before the next can start. See the full range of what we build on our services page.
