Certainty starts with reality: In Essex County, zoning, setbacks, slope, drainage, and impervious coverage (not just yard size) decide if, how, and how much you can build. Before design or purchase, prove feasibility with a Messuti Audit.

No guesswork. Diagnosis before design. That’s how you avoid six-figure mistakes. You’re asking because something’s off — cracked plaster, tired tile, coping that’s seen better days, or a leak that won’t quit. A facelift fixes symptoms. If the structure or hydraulics are failing, renovation just delays the bill.

Most pool contracts hide risk in the fine print. MESSUTI surfaces it, engineers around it, and proves readiness before construction—so clients gain certainty, not surprises.

Most coping failures in New Jersey start long before water ever fills the pool.
