Essex County Pool Builders — Award-Winning Custom Pools by Blu Sol
Architecturally Distinguished Pools for Essex County Estates
Essex County is home to some of New Jersey's most architecturally distinguished properties — and homeowners who expect the same level of craftsmanship from their pool builder. At Blu Sol Pools, we have designed and built award-winning custom gunite pools throughout Essex County for over 20 years, serving families in Livingston, Short Hills, Millburn, Montclair, West Orange, and beyond.
Essex County's residential properties vary widely — from the large traditional estates of Short Hills and Millburn to the mid-century architecture of Montclair and the newer construction in Livingston. Blu Sol's custom design approach means every pool is designed to complement the specific character of your home and property, not forced into a generic template.
We understand Essex County's permit landscape. We maintain working relationships with building departments across the county and handle the full permitting and inspection process on your behalf — keeping your project on schedule from day one.
Award-winning design & craftsmanship: Our work has been recognized for excellence in pool design across Northern New Jersey's most prestigious communities.

Frequently Asked Questions — Building in Essex County
Do you build pools in Livingston and Short Hills NJ?
Yes. Livingston, Short Hills, and Millburn are among our most active areas in Essex County. We have built numerous pools in these communities and are familiar with the local building departments, HOA requirements, and typical lot configurations throughout the area.
Can you build a pool on a small lot in Essex County?
Yes. Many Essex County properties — particularly older neighborhoods in Montclair, Verona, and South Orange — have tighter lot dimensions than newer suburban areas. Blu Sol specializes in designing custom pools that maximize available space, including plunge pools, lap pools, and space-efficient gunite designs that work beautifully on constrained lots.
How long does Essex County pool permitting take?
Permitting timelines vary by municipality. Livingston and West Orange typically process in 4–5 weeks. Montclair and Short Hills may require additional architectural review, averaging 6–8 weeks. Blu Sol manages every step — applications, variance submissions, and inspections — so you don't have to navigate the bureaucracy.
Do you offer custom design for historic homes in Montclair?
Absolutely. Many of our Essex County projects involve historic or architecturally significant homes. We work closely with homeowners and local preservation guidelines to create pool designs that feel integrated and timeless — never突兀.
