Building a Multi-Generational Paradise: Bart's Two-Phase Pool and Entertainment Project
Every pool project tells a unique story, and Bart's two-phase installation by Rock N Roll Pools exemplifies how thoughtful planning and comprehensive service delivery can transform a backyard into a true family gathering place. After relocating from Long Island to Colorado with 25 years of pool ownership experience, Bart and his wife knew exactly what they wanted: a complete outdoor living space centered around their grandchildren, who live just five doors down. The result is an impressive multi-phase project that includes a heated pool and spa, custom gazebo, outdoor shower, and professional-grade outdoor cooking facilities.
The All-In-One Advantage: Simplifying a Complex Project
One of the most significant challenges homeowners face when planning a pool project is coordinating multiple contractors. Bart interviewed approximately six pool companies and quickly recognized the value of Rock N Roll Pools' comprehensive approach. While competitors required separate coordination with pool installers and masonry contractors, Rock N Roll handled everything in-house —from the pool and spa, to all hardscaping, lighting, and outdoor amenities.
This integrated service model eliminated the typical headaches of multi-contractor coordination: scheduling conflicts, communication gaps between trades, and the burden of acting as general contractor. For Bart, the decision was clear. "Going with Jordan was really a no-brainer," he reflects. The ability to work with a single team throughout both phases of construction proved invaluable.
Phase One: Pool and Spa Installation with High-Performance Heating
The first phase began with excavation, followed by pool and spa installation. Understanding Colorado's climate demands, Bart opted for a gas-heated system engineered for rapid performance. The spa maintains a comfortable 89-90 degrees and features impressive heating capability—approximately one degree per minute, allowing the temperature to rise from 90 to 100 degrees in just 10-12 minutes.
This heating efficiency isn't merely a luxury feature; it's essential for year-round usability in Colorado's unpredictable climate. The installation also included a pool cover, a practical necessity in this market for heat retention and energy efficiency. These systems work together to minimize energy waste while maximizing the swimming season.
Phase Two: Expanding the Outdoor Living Experience
The second phase significantly expanded the property's outdoor capabilities. The additions included:
Custom Gazebo Installation: A substantial 14x16 gazebo provides essential shade coverage. In Colorado, where sun exposure is intense year-round, adequate shade isn't optional — it's necessary for comfortable outdoor dining and entertaining during summer months.
Outdoor Shower: This resort-style amenity has become one of the project's signature features. The outdoor shower integrates seamlessly with the pool area while adding functional luxury that's particularly well-suited to Colorado's outdoor lifestyle.
Gas Infrastructure for Outdoor Cooking: As a former private chef, Bart approached the outdoor cooking area with professional standards. Prior to construction, he coordinated gas line installation from the street, which Rock N Roll then connected to his outdoor grill. This eliminated propane tank management and enables year-round outdoor cooking — a significant advantage given Colorado's favorable winter weather patterns.
Pool Deck and Patio Expansion: Additional hardscaping created cohesive outdoor spaces that tie all elements together, from the pool and spa to the gazebo and cooking areas.
While a complete outdoor kitchen wasn't included in the current scope, all utility connections are in place for future expansion, demonstrating forward-thinking design that accommodates evolving needs.
What Made This Project Stand Out? Comprehensive Service and Craftsmanship
Several aspects distinguish this installation from typical pool projects. First, the two-phase approach allowed for thoughtful development without overwhelming the homeowners during their relocation and home setup. Second, the scope extended far beyond a standard pool installation to create a complete outdoor entertainment environment.
The professionalism of the Rock N Roll team remained consistent throughout both construction phases. Every crew member demonstrated respect for the property and commitment to quality work. This standard of conduct reflected ownership values throughout the entire team structure — a critical factor for homeowners entrusting a company with an extended, multi-phase project.
Drawing on extensive construction management experience from his years on Long Island, Bart recognized superior project execution when he saw it. The mutual respect between the homeowner and crew was evident throughout the entire project.
Results: A Family-Centered Outdoor Paradise
The completed project functions exactly as envisioned. The space serves as a central gathering point for Bart's grandchildren (ages four and eight) and their friends. "The pool was built for them," Bart explains, and the design successfully creates an environment where multiple generations can enjoy time together.
Beyond the social function, the space integrates into daily life. Bart begins each morning with a walk through the backyard, taking in both the pool area and his extensive vegetable garden. The outdoor cooking facilities see regular use year-round, and the spa provides a comfortable retreat regardless of season.
A Testament to Integrated Project Management
This two-phase installation, with its heated pool and spa, custom gazebo, outdoor shower, gas-powered cooking facilities, and comprehensive hardscaping, demonstrates the advantages of working with a full-service pool company. Rock N Roll Pools' ability to manage all aspects of the project — from initial excavation through final landscaping details — eliminated the complexity typically associated with multi-contractor coordination.
For homeowners considering a pool project that extends beyond basic installation to encompass a complete outdoor living transformation, this project illustrates what's achievable with experienced professionals who handle every element in-house. When asked to rate his experience, Bart's assessment was emphatic: "Six stars out of five."
