Is This Hybrid Program Right for You?

A Smarter Way to Build—But It’s Not for Everyone

Our hybrid DIY pool construction program gives homeowners more control, but it works best when the fit is right.

This program is ideal for those who want to be hands-on and save money—without risking structural mistakes or permit headaches. But it’s not the best path for everyone. Here’s how to tell if our hybrid model is a good match for you:

icon-checkmarkGood Fit

  • Want to be involved in the building process without managing every technical detail.

  • Are comfortable paying the subcontractors directly.

  • Are looking for a more affordable path to a custom pool, without sacrificing structural quality

icon-xBad Fit

  • Prefer a fully turn-key pool construction experience with no involvement.

  • Don’t have the time or desire to coordinate any part of the project.

  • Expect a warranty on parts of the pool Shasta doesn’t build or control

If you’re looking for a way to save on your pool without sacrificing quality or confidence, our hybrid program could be the perfect fit. Let’s build it together—the smart way.
