Often, when new customers come to us looking for a fiberglass pool installer they warn us that they\u2019ll have lots of questions. What they don\u2019t often realize is just how common that is. In fact, they <\/span>should<\/span><\/i> be asking anything and everything. We\u2019ve installed dozens of fiberglass swimming pools. They\u2019ll likely be going through the process for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite that reality, they are sometimes embarrassed to ask about the basics. And we know that for every homeowner we meet there are probably dozens more who never get the chance to sit with us face-to-face. With that in mind, I want to use today\u2019s post to answer some of the most frequent questions I field about fiberglass pool installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are the seven queries that come up most often, along with some simple and straightforward answers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question #1 What Are Fiberglass Pools Made Of?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Fiberglass pools are made from fiberglass, which is a synthetic plastic made from glass (hence the name). You probably guessed that already, but what you need to know is that it\u2019s stronger than metal and concrete, isn\u2019t corrosive, and can be molded into many different shapes and finishes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fiberglass used in our pools comes from a company that manufactures the material for high-end sailing yachts. That\u2019s how you know it\u2019s both durable and aesthetically pleasing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question #2 Why Would I Choose a Fiberglass Pool for My Yard?<\/b><\/h3>\n

There are lots of reasons you might choose to have a fiberglass pool installed on your property. Many homeowners think they look better than traditional concrete pools. They are more durable and require less upkeep, meaning you can spend more time enjoying them and less time maintaining them. And, they hold more of their value over the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, it\u2019s worth noting that fiberglass pools can be installed within a matter of weeks, which is something our customers tend to love.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question #3 Do Fiberglass Pools Break, Leak, or Crack?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Because fiberglass pools can appear to be thinner or more brittle than traditional in-ground swimming pools, many new customers worry that they won\u2019t last, or will be susceptible to damage. In reality, it\u2019s just the opposite. Fiberglass pools are made from incredibly strong materials and very rarely have problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The one caveat here is that <\/span>any <\/span><\/i>swimming pool \u2013 fiberglass or concrete \u2013 needs to be installed with care. That means measuring, excavating, and placing pieces with care. You\u2019ll want to ensure your patio renovation company has the right skills and experience. Otherwise you could run into issues very quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question #4 Aren\u2019t Fiberglass Pools More Expensive?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Yes and no. Fiberglass pools sometimes carry higher upfront cost than other pools in the same size range. However, they also require less maintenance, last longer, and permit you to use saltwater, which requires fewer chemical treatments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to lose track of those bigger-picture savings when you are simply looking at different quotes from fiberglass pool installers. However, our customers nearly always find that choosing a fiberglass pool becomes the less expensive choice over time when all the factors are considered. And, they love that they can increase the value of their property with such a durable upgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question #5 Does It Take a Long Time to Install a Fiberglass Pool?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Fiberglass pools are relatively quick to install. Whereas putting a traditional concrete pool into someone\u2019s backyard might require us to dig and perform construction for a matter of months \u2013 effectively closing off a portion of the property for an entire season \u2013 a fiberglass pool can be installed in weeks. They are manufactured ahead of time, so much of the prep work can be done before installation begins.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is one of those hidden benefits of the product that customers love. While getting a swimming pool installed quickly might not be the most important consideration, it can be exciting to have your new pool ready for a specific event like a party or family visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question #6 How Do I Know I\u2019ve Found the Right Fiberglass Pool Installer?<\/b><\/h3>\n

As with all areas of patio design, there are three things you should look for when choosing a fiberglass pool installer:<\/span><\/p>\n
