New Orleans Pool Builders provides professional spa & hot tub installation in New Orleans, LA for residential and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans and the Northshore. Spa and hot tub installation in New Orleans comes down to two routes: an attached gunite spa built into the pool with a spillover, or a standalone acrylic tub on a pad with its own 240-volt circuit.
We build both, and we will tell you which one your yard, your soil, and your actual habits point to before you spend anything.
An attached gunite spa shares the pool's shell, plumbing, and equipment, usually sits raised with a spillover into the pool, and looks deliberate because it is part of the original engineering.
It can share the heater, the salt system, and the automation, so one tap on your phone on the way home from the Quarter and it is hot when you get there. It is permanent, so it has to be right the first time.
Retrofitting a spa into an existing shell is genuine construction, and here it also means rechecking hydrostatic relief and soil bearing under the new raised structure, because adding weight to soft ground without thinking about it is how you end up with a spa that settles away from the pool it is supposed to spill into.
A standalone acrylic hot tub is cheaper, faster, and portable, which suits renters and people who expect to move.
What it needs is a pad that is genuinely level and rated for the filled weight, and on our soils that means a properly prepared and reinforced pad rather than four patio slabs and optimism.
It also needs a dedicated 240-volt GFCI circuit run by a licensed electrician, which is where the real cost hides. We handle the pad, the bonding, the trenching, and the electrical coordination. Our climate changes how a spa gets used.
It earns its keep from November through March, and in the humid months plenty of owners run it cool as a plunge instead, which most modern control packs handle without complaint.
On the repair side we replace spa heaters, blowers, jet internals, diverter valves, and control packs, resurface tired spa interiors in pebble or quartz, and replace covers, which in constant UV and humidity degrade faster here than owners expect.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, variable-speed pumps and cartridge or DE filtration, saltwater chlorination — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Orleans and nearby communities including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey.

Materials, equipment and how we do spa & hot tub installation
The difference between spa & hot tub installation that lasts and spa & hot tub installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Orleans job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in Greater New Orleans and the Northshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
