FAQs

An in-ground fiberglass pool is a pre-fabricated, single-piece swimming pool made from durable fiberglass composites. It's manufactured in a factory, then transported to your property and installed in a prepared excavation. This method offers a quicker and more streamlined installation process compared to concrete or vinyl pool options.

The installation of a fiberglass pool typically takes between 14 and 21 days. This timeframe can vary based on factors such as site conditions, landscaping requirements, and the addition of extra features like decking or water features. Fiberglass pools are known for their relatively quick installation process compared to other in-ground pool types.

Fiberglass pools offer numerous advantages. They're low maintenance due to their non-porous surface that resists algae growth. They're known for their durability, quick installation, and smooth, comfortable surface. These pools are energy-efficient and compatible with saltwater systems. Additionally, they require fewer chemicals and less ongoing maintenance compared to concrete pools.

The cost of installing an in-ground fiberglass pool typically ranges from $80,000 to over $100,000. This price can vary significantly based on factors such as pool size, chosen features, and site preparation requirements. Additional elements like excavation, decking, plumbing, and extras such as spas or heating systems can impact the final cost.

While fiberglass pools come in pre-molded shapes, there's still considerable room for customization. Various modern designs are available, including rectangular styles, freeform layouts, and pools with features like tanning ledges, deep ends, and integrated spas. You can also personalize elements such as tile work, lighting, coping, color, and the surrounding landscape design.

With proper care and maintenance, a high-quality fiberglass pool can last for more than 30 years. The gelcoat surface is designed to be durable, resistant to fading, and algae-resistant. These properties contribute to reduced maintenance costs over the pool's lifetime.

Fiberglass pools are indeed compatible with saltwater systems. In fact, they're considered one of the best pool types for saltwater use. The smooth gelcoat surface of fiberglass pools is highly resistant to corrosion and damage that can affect other pool materials in saltwater environments.

Fiberglass pools are engineered to be highly resistant to cracking due to their strength and flexibility. While small surface imperfections, often called 'spider cracks', may occasionally appear in the gelcoat, these are typically cosmetic and don't compromise the pool's structural integrity.

Most residential yards can accommodate a fiberglass pool. To determine suitability, factors such as delivery access, soil type, yard slope, local setback requirements, and drainage needs are assessed during a site visit. Even properties with limited access can often be accommodated using specialized equipment like cranes or alternative delivery methods.

Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your pool in optimal condition. It’s recommended to check and balance the water chemistry at least once a week, clean the filters monthly, and perform a thorough cleaning of the pool and surrounding areas every month.

Vinyl liner pools are cost-effective and customizable, offering a variety of colors and patterns. They are also easier to maintain than some other pool types, providing a smooth surface that is less likely to irritate the skin.

With proper care, vinyl liners can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. Factors such as maintenance routines and exposure to sunlight can affect their lifespan.

The installation process involves excavating the site, setting up the pool structure, installing plumbing and electrical systems, and placing the vinyl liner over a prepared surface. Our team will ensure the installation process is smooth and efficient.
