What a Riverside Pool House Can Include

Finishes matched to the home. Roof, trim and colors chosen to match the house.
A covered porch. A roofed edge to sit out of the sun.
Lighting. Path and porch lights for evenings.
Fans. Ceiling fans on the porch, handled with our licensed electrical partner.

Shade makes a real difference: the EPA reports that shaded surfaces can be 20 to 45°F cooler than the peak temperatures of unshaded materials.

Designing a pool house or pool bath for Riverside

Riverside's bungalows and two-story homes often have deep porches already, so a backyard room is designed to look like it belongs to the same house. Five Points is Riverside's historic commercial corner, and the Riverside Arts Market runs under the Fuller Warren Bridge on Saturdays. On an older house, trim and column details are what make a new roof look original.

Where the plumbing can reach usually decides where a pool bath can go. Before we draw a pool house or pool bath in Riverside, we check where plumbing can reach, the setbacks on your lot and where shade is needed.

Cloudy days still bring sun exposure: the Skin Cancer Foundation says up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds.

Approvals and Permits in Riverside

Because Riverside is a local historic district, the City reviews exterior work before a permit is issued. Many applications are approved by staff, and larger ones go to the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission. Associations typically look at the building's size, roofing and how it matches the home. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Riverside is inside the consolidated City of Jacksonville, so building permits go through the Building Inspection Division's online system, JaxEPICS. Zoning and the fire marshal review plans along with building, and a Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted jobs. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
