Why Build a Fiberglass Pool?
From custom design to expert construction of your fiberglass pool, our team of Lowcountry pool builders will partner with you every step of the way. We focus on safety. You can focus on fun.
Durability
Fiberglass pools are manufactured by layering reinforced fiberglass, resins and a gel coat over a polished mold. The result is a durable and affordable pool. Fiberglass pools are chosen, not made to the customers specifications. They pick a shape, size and color from an assortment of options. They can be made with tanning ledges, attached spas and waterfalls.
Quick Installation
Fiberglass pools only take 2-4 weeks to install. However, permitting and weather, as well as the complexity of your design can influence the installation schedule. The process is generally: permitting with the county; excavation, dig, set, backfill, and forming; hardscape or site installs and form removal; then cleaning, grading and covering.
Low Maintenance
Fiberglass pools still require consistent care, because fiberglass has a gel-coat surface, it resists algae growth and because of its non-porous surface, it does not require liner or surface replacements like other pools. This means less in long-term maintenance costs and more time spent enjoying your pool.
Fiberglass pools are not all created equal, which is why we use only the highest quality pools that meet our expectations. We will not sell a pool that we would not put in our own backyard.
