Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total cost, including installation?

In general, you can expect the cost of installing an in-ground pool to start from $55,000. This cost includes excavation, pool shell, plumbing, filtration system. The cost of permitting, decking, fencing, landscaping, and other necessary components are determined by the scope of the work.
How durable are fiberglass pools?
Fiberglass pools are known for their durability and longevity. They are constructed using high-quality materials that are resistant to damage from harsh chemicals, UV rays, and weather elements. Additionally, the smooth gelcoat surface of fiberglass pools inhibits algae growth and makes cleaning easier.
Compared to other types of pools, fiberglass pools require minimal maintenance and are less prone to staining, fading, or deterioration over time. They are also less susceptible to cracking or leaking, thanks to their one-piece construction.
With proper installation and regular maintenance, fiberglass pools can last for decades, providing homeowners with a durable and enjoyable swimming experience.

Things to consider would include local zoning and building codes, property size and layout, environmental concerns, utility lines, and budget constraints. We will help you understand these factors in the very early stages of the process.
How long does it take to install?
The installation time can vary based on factors such as site preparation, weather conditions, and the size and complexity of the project. However, generally:
- Fiberglass pools are quicker to install. The installation process typically takes around 2 to 4 weeks from start to finish. This includes excavation, delivery and placement of the fiberglass shell, plumbing and electrical work, backfilling, and finishing touches such as decking and landscaping.
- However, Vinyl liner pools will take longer to install because of the many stages required in advance of filling the pool. The installation process takes around 4 to 6 weeks. This includes excavation, construction of the pool structure (often using steel or polymer walls), installation of the vinyl liner, plumbing and electrical work, backfilling, and finishing touches.
It’s important to note that these timeframes are estimates and can vary depending on the specific circumstances of each project.
