Looking for the right fiberglass pool installer to transform your backyard? You might be interested to know how those products are changing everything in the industry, not to mention the homeowners we serve.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The patio design and installation business is an interesting blend of tradition and innovation. On the one hand, there\u2019s nothing new about enjoying the outdoors or preparing for the seasons. It\u2019s been getting hot and cold for literally millions of years, and humans have always done what they can to match their homes to the environment and elements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But on the other hand, we are always finding new things to try. That includes fire pits, outdoor kitchens, new lighting systems, and of course fiberglass swimming pools. With the busy spring patio construction season just around the <\/span>corner, I want to focus today on the handful of things that make these products so different from the ones that came before.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at a few reasons fiberglass pools are changing patio design\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Better Materials Mean a More Durable Swimming Pool<\/b><\/h3>\n

There isn\u2019t anything wrong with concrete, but fiberglass is objectively a better material for most swimming pools. Made from the same components as high-end sailing yachts, they tend to have fewer maintenance issues than traditional in-ground pools used to.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t surprising if you think about construction and technology in any other industry. As more and more products are moving away from harder and more brittle substances and toward newer composites, everything is getting lighter and longer-lasting. The fiberglass pools we install come with a lifetime warranty. Conversely, older pools tended to crack, leak, and need to be replaced more frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Homeowners love having pools installed, but hate having to repair or replace them. That\u2019s one of the reasons fiberglass is becoming a more popular choice as time goes on.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fiberglass Pools Offer Less Maintenance and Upkeep<\/b><\/h3>\n

Not only are fiberglass pools more durable in the sense that they last longer than traditional concrete pools do, but they also require less cleaning and maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are several reasons for this. First, fiberglass pools can hold saltwater, meaning they don\u2019t require as many chemicals. Additionally, the surfaces can be treated so they don\u2019t accumulate algae or other substances that would require more frequent cleaning. And finally, the materials themselves are more durable so they don\u2019t expand, contract, and need repairs in the same way.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One thing we should point out before moving on is that these durability benefits only apply if you choose the right manufacturer and installer. Naturally, cheap pools won\u2019t last as long as premium ones. And it\u2019s crucial that your pool is installed correctly to prevent bulges, dips, leaks, and other issues that stem from rushed excavation and leveling.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fiberglass Swimming Pools Are Less Expensive Over the Long Run<\/b><\/h3>\n

While homeowners tend to focus on the ease and durability of having fiberglass swimming pools, it\u2019s worth remembering that a side effect of these benefits is a lower long-term cost. You might pay a bit more for a fiberglass pool upfront, but you\u2019ll spend a lot less in the years to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This can be important for new customers to understand going into the process. That\u2019s because there can be an element of \u201csticker shock\u201d with fiberglass pools if you have been looking at traditional in-ground (or even above-ground) options. You will almost certainly pay a little extra for fiberglass, particularly if you\u2019re choosing a premium brand like the ones we sell.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like any investment, though, your returns improve greatly as time rolls on. A fiberglass pool is more beautiful and usable. It also requires less of your time and attention to keep looking great. You won\u2019t have to replace it again, and it could significantly improve the value of your property. Add it all up and working with a fiberglass pool installer is almost always the more cost-efficient option.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a Fiberglass Pool You Can Enjoy Your New Backyard Sooner<\/b><\/h3>\n

Finally, we get to what might be the biggest and best reason to choose a fiberglass pool: You and your family will be enjoying it much sooner.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a traditional gunite pool, you\u2019ll typically have to tie up your backyard for months at a time while the space is measured and dug out, concrete is poured, and so on. However, fiberglass pools can be manufactured to spec. So there is still prep work to be done, but then the panels can simply be installed on your property within a matter of a few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The quick installation process associated with fiberglass pools is one that our customers constantly rave about. Less waiting is always a good thing, especially if you\u2019ve been dreaming of having a big party in your backyard or want to see a quick return on your tax refund.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We always advise homeowners against making choices that are quick, easy, or cheap if they mean sacrificing quality and durability elsewhere in the patio design process. However, with fiberglass pool installation you can get the best of all worlds \u2013 something that can be added quickly while also increasing the value of your home and paying off in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n
