Fiberglass pool installation · Greater Philadelphia

fiberglass pools, installed by our own crew.

We design your fiberglass pool in 3D, handle permits and engineering, and set, plumb and finish it with our in-house team. No subcontractors, from excavation to first swim.

why homeowners choose fiberglass. a factory-built shell, a smooth finish and less upkeep than plaster.

weeks, not months

faster install

The shell is built in a factory, so once permits are approved and the shell is delivered, installation moves much faster than a site-built concrete pool.

gelcoat finish

smooth & low-maintenance

The non-porous surface resists algae, is gentle on feet and usually needs fewer chemicals. There is no replastering every decade.

built to last

strong & flexible

Fiberglass flexes slightly with the ground, which suits our freeze-thaw winters when the shell is set and backfilled correctly.

Good to know: fiberglass sizes and shapes come from each manufacturer’s molds, and most shells max out around 16 feet wide for road transport. If you want a fully custom shape or a very large pool, we also build custom concrete pools.

choose your pool model

We install the Genesis Pools Landmark Series. Browse all 53 shells by shape and size, pick a favorite and a shell color, and we will place it in a 3D model of your backyard at your free consult.

Showing 53 models

Sizes are width × length to the outer edge of the shell; production shells can be a few inches smaller. All models are non-diving pools. Model images courtesy of Genesis Pools.

add a spa or tanning ledge

Pair any pool with a fiberglass spa or a shallow tanning ledge. Spillover models flow straight into the pool.

how we install a fiberglass pool

Every step is done by our team, in this order.

  1. site visit

    We measure your yard, check access for the delivery truck and crane, and look at grades, trees and utilities.

  2. 3d design

    We place real shell models in a 3D model of your backyard, with the patio, deck, fence and equipment, so you can compare options before you choose.

  3. estimate & contract

    A written estimate for the pool. Extras like fencing or deck work are added as clear addendums.

  4. survey, engineering & permit

    A surveyor records exact measurements for the permit, and our engineer prepares the drawings.

  5. excavation & base

    We dig to the shell’s exact profile and prepare a level, compacted base.

  6. set the shell

    The shell is craned into place, leveled, and backfilled while it fills with water so the pressure stays balanced.

  7. plumbing & equipment

    Our hydraulics department sizes the pump, filter, heater and pipes for your specific pool, so the water turns over efficiently.

  8. coping, patio & first swim

    We pour the bond beam, install coping and the patio or deck, start up the equipment and walk you through care.

what affects the price

Every yard is different. These are the main things that change the cost of a fiberglass pool in our area.

  • shell model & size

    The biggest single cost. Larger and deeper shells cost more to buy, ship and set.

  • access & crane

    Tight side yards, slopes or overhead lines can need a larger crane or extra work.

  • soil & grading

    Rock, high groundwater or a sloped yard add excavation and retaining work.

  • decking

    Concrete, pavers, natural stone or a raised wood deck around the pool.

  • equipment

    Heater or heat pump, salt system, automation, lighting and covers.

  • fence & permits

    Pennsylvania townships require a compliant barrier, plus permit and engineering fees.

Your free 3D design comes with a written estimate, so you see the real number for your yard before deciding.

fiberglass pool questions

How long does a fiberglass pool installation take?

Permits and shell delivery usually take the longest. Once the shell arrives, excavation, setting, plumbing and coping typically take a few weeks, depending on weather, site access and the decking you choose. We give you a schedule with your estimate.

Do I need a crane for a fiberglass pool?

Almost always. The shell is lifted from the delivery truck into the hole. We check crane access during the site visit so there are no surprises.

Can a fiberglass pool go in a raised deck or on a slope?

Yes. We design partially raised installs with retaining walls or a raised deck around the pool. The 3D design shows exactly how it will sit in your yard.

Is fiberglass better than concrete?

It depends on what you want. Fiberglass installs faster and is easier to maintain. Concrete allows any shape and size. We build both and will tell you honestly which fits your yard and budget.

Is the 3D design really free?

Yes. Every estimate includes a free 3D design of the pool in your backyard, and changes stay free after you sign.

Which areas do you serve?

We install fiberglass pools across the Greater Philadelphia area, including Delaware County, Montgomery County, Chester County and the Main Line, from our base in Broomall, PA.
