"Carlos and his team did a phenomenal job with our outdoor kitchen. Every day after they worked the cleaned up and was very flexible during the project to accommodate small changes to the plans. I would highly recommend them for any home project!"

"Armando and his team have been maintaining our pool for the past year, and they've done an outstanding job. Their weekly cleaning keeps our pool sparkling and swim-ready. They also perform annual filter maintenance, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Since hiring Armando, we've never had issues with the water quality—the chemical balance and chlorine levels are always perfect. The water is so clear that I don't even need swim goggles. I highly recommend giving them a try!"

"Very thorough and helpful in going over the equipment and maintenance. As well as the seasonal requirements that a pool needs. I thought the water just needed to stay chlorinated but there is so much more. Great company I would recommend to anyone."

"Amazing from start to finish. My pool had an air leak, something that is not easy to find. After finding the crack that was causing the air leak, the return line had to be repaired. Everything is now working perfect."

"If you are looking to resurface or refinish your pool, you have come to the right place! I have not had any pool work done in 20+ years, so it took a bit of investigating to find the right place. When I called Shamrock Pool Fiberglass, the owner Jan Moreno set up an appointment. He went into great detail regarding what it would take to make my pool look new again and better than before. My wife wanted the pool to look blue. He explained the fiberglass and the gel will be a bright white, but the color of the sky will make the pool look baby blue. We worked out a deal and I signed the contract. This was back in December 2020. He said all his people follow COVID-19 rules such as wearing masks and using a bathroom at another location (not at my house). The men were very nice about everything. If I had a question about something, they explained it, and we all kept our distance. The work that was being performed was something special to see. All of the work was done to my liking and very professional just as Jan Moreno said it would be. Jan even came on the last two days to spray the fiberglass in the pool. The pool resurfacing came out great and now the water looks baby blue! Our friends that come over just love the look of the pool and at night with the pool light on it is great. Many thanks again to Jan Moreno and his company Shamrock Pool Fiberglass."
Most spool or cocktail pools take four to 12 weeks from breaking ground to the first swim, although timing varies depending on size, type, and site conditions. An above-ground, vinyl-lined model can be installed within three or four days once the kit arrives, whereas an in-ground spool adds excavation, plumbing, and inspection steps that extend the timeline. Because delivery alone can take a few weeks, lining up permits and any necessary digging or grading work during that window helps keep the project moving.
Cocktail pools are not intended for traditional swimming; they are built to deliver a cooling and relaxing experience. They provide an ideal setting for a refreshing dip rather than for exercise or lap swimming. The pool’s limited dimensions restrict vigorous activity and ensure safety, making it a perfect retreat for quick cool-downs and leisurely soaks in a compact, stylish design.
Spool pools have a depth of 38 to 42 inches, which is ideal for sitting, standing, and gentle dipping. This deliberate depth prioritizes safety and an inviting atmosphere while eliminating the possibility of diving or extended swimming. The measured design creates a secure and intimate space for relaxation, adding a refined touch to your outdoor area.
If you're handy and have experience with excavation, plumbing, and electrical work, consider installing your spool pool yourself. However, hiring a professional ensures the job is done safely and correctly. Pros have the expertise to handle all the technical details, giving you peace of mind and helping you avoid costly mistakes.
Maintaining a spool pool demands regular cleaning, precise chemical balancing, and thorough system inspections. Homeowners should allocate time monthly for filter cleaning and water quality checks, in addition to performing seasonal maintenance, to ensure optimal system performance. Ongoing maintenance preserves water clarity and operational efficiency, reduces repair costs, and extends the pool’s lifespan, creating a safe and enjoyable environment.
Popular upgrades include a brick-paver patio for slip-resistant footing, low-voltage lighting for evening swims, and code-compliant fencing to boost safety. Additionally, consider adding landscaping or a fire pit to transform the pool area into a year-round hangout. Each feature raises overall costs, but thoughtful add-ons improve usability, curb appeal, and, in many markets, resale value.
