Custom Pool Houses
Custom Pool Houses in Columbus, Ohio
A pool house should read like part of your home, not a shed that wandered into the backyard. We design and build custom pool houses, cabanas, and pavilions across Central Ohio with real plumbing, power, and finishes, matched to your home's architecture and built to be used hard every summer.
The investment
What drives the cost
Pool house budgets range wider than almost any other outdoor project, because the same footprint can be an open cabana or a finished building with a bathroom, bar, and kitchen. The main drivers:
- Size and foundation type
- Plumbing: bathrooms and changing suites move the number more than square footage
- Electrical, lighting, and climate features
- Bar and kitchen features
- Finish level inside and out
- Permitting and utility runs across the yard
Typical timeline
Design and permitting usually take longer than people expect, and the build itself moves quickly once approvals are in hand. Summer pool houses are designed in winter and early spring. If you want to swim next to a finished pool house next July, the right time to start the conversation is months earlier, not weeks.
Materials
We match the pool house to the main house: brick, stone, cedar, and board and batten all show up in our work. Outside, everything is specified for Ohio freeze-thaw cycles and poolside moisture. Inside, finishes depend on how the space is used, from open-air bars to fully finished changing suites.
Permits and inspections
Almost every pool house in Central Ohio needs a permit, and the rules change by municipality: setbacks, lot coverage, utility runs, and inspections all vary. We identify what your project requires up front and build the approval steps into the timeline, so nothing stalls mid-build.
