Pool Construction and Installation FAQs

The best reason to get a pool is because you’ll enjoy it regularly. While a swimming pool may not have a high return on investment—averaging 7%—it offers significant personal enjoyment and can enhance your lifestyle. If you love to swim and host gatherings, installing a new pool is a worthwhile investment.

A pool’s lifespan depends on the materials used and the quality of maintenance it receives. High-quality in-ground concrete or gunite pools last 50 to 100 years when maintained properly, with the requirement to resurface every 10 years. Above ground pools have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Fiberglass pools last 25 to 30 years, and vinyl pools remain durable for over 20 years if the liner is replaced every six to 12 years.

Building an in-ground pool takes two to three months from beginning to end. The process begins with obtaining the required permits, which takes two to six weeks, followed by a week for excavation and land preparation. Construction of the pool—including plumbing and electrical installations—takes one to two months. Each phase requires precision to ensure high-quality construction.

Fiberglass pools demand minimal maintenance, which sets them apart from other pool types. Their robust, smooth, non-porous surface actively resists algae growth. This design eliminates the need for regular resurfacing or liner replacements and reduces the frequency of chemical treatments and intensive cleanings. Consequently, homeowners benefit from lower ongoing upkeep costs and a consistently pristine pool environment.
