In a recent post, I shared that my fiberglass pool installation team and I spend a lot of time in the winter months talking with customers who will want a pool installed as soon as the weather turns. Some are reaching out during winter because they\u2019ve received a holiday bonus or an early tax refund. Others missed out in the previous year. A few are just great at planning ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever the reason, some readers and homeowners seem surprised that we plan future fiberglass pool installations when it\u2019s cold and gray. That has led to a popular follow-up question: when is the perfect time of year to start working with a team that can add a pool to your property?<\/span><\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a single way to answer this question, if only because so much depends on circumstances. Still, I want to use this post to break down a handful of points I think are important when you\u2019re trying to decide when to get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s begin with the one piece of truth that matters more than the others\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Best Time to Get a Pool is When You\u2019re Ready<\/b><\/p>\n

I want to put this front and center before I share any other advice and perspectives. Only you know your schedule, budget, lifestyle, and needs. Whatever time I think of as being \u201cperfect\u201d for installing a fiberglass pool might not make sense to you based on whatever else you have going on in your life or career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, there is an element of common sense involved. It\u2019s important to lead with personal time and budget considerations, though, because we do meet customers who think that if they miss the \u201cperfect pool installation window\u201d they\u2019ll need to wait many months to get started. That just isn\u2019t the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best time to get a pool is when you want one and can work it into your life and budget. Everything else is secondary.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Winter is Great for Plan-Ahead Types<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0As I mentioned in my post about winter in our industry, the colder months are when we hear from those who like to plan ahead and get every detail put in place before we break ground. These customers tend to be fantastic and know exactly what they want. In return they get their project taken care of with no delays.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deciding on your fiberglass pool installation in the winter gives us plenty of time to order materials, survey your property, and put you first on our schedule. Then you can have virtually the entire year to enjoy your swimming pool. It also means you won\u2019t have to rush at all during the planning process.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fiberglass Pool Installations Pick up in the Spring<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s probably obvious, but we start getting a lot busier once the ground begins to thaw. That\u2019s the time when we can actually start excavating. It\u2019s also when homeowners shift their focus to the warmer months ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

For these reasons our crew starts to work its way into peak efficiency in March and April. Usually, we have at least a handful of fiberglass pool installations scheduled from the winter that has just passed (see above). Additionally, this is the point where new inquiries will start arriving on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The great thing about starting your hardscaping project in Spring is that you\u2019ll likely have your pool and patio ready to use when things get really warm in the summer. You might have to wait a few weeks if someone got the idea first, but you\u2019re still well ahead of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summer Can be a Surprisingly Good Choice<\/b><\/p>\n

There are a lot of reasons why we stay busy installing fiberglass pools during the summer. Some customers will simply have come to us at the end of Spring when we are already booked up. Others won\u2019t have decided they want a pool until the weather has warmed up significantly. Some might have already wanted a pool but needed to save a bit of extra money to bring the project to life.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there is another interesting reason to wait until summer: many of our customers have their pools installed while they are away on vacation. That way they can leave the stifling heat behind, go somewhere that feels more comfortable, and come back to a new pool and patio that have been finished to perfection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summer tends to be when people go away, and also a time when Massachusetts weather can be predictable. If you want a pool but don\u2019t love the idea of a disruption to your daily life, this could be the perfect option.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Autumn Might Be the Perfect Time to Install Fiberglass Pool<\/b><\/p>\n

Out of all the seasons, autumn might be the least popular for fiberglass pool installation. I get it: if you have a pool installed in October or November you probably won\u2019t get much chance to use it right away. Plus, many customers are concentrating on work and school, or looking ahead of the holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of that makes sense. However, autumn tends to be a slow season and the ground still isn\u2019t frozen. So, you can probably get a pool installed quickly. And then, once you do, it will be ready for you to use as warm spring weather arrives.<\/span><\/p>\n

For some of our customers, that makes this the ideal season to opt for a new fiberglass pool.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are You Ready for a Fiberglass Pool This Year?<\/b><\/p>\n

Now that I\u2019ve told you how we look at things from within the industry, let me take things back to my first point. Are you thinking about adding a fiberglass pool to your property in the coming months?<\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to make a decision right now. The best thing to do is to get specifics so you can make an informed choice. Consider speaking with a member of our design staff to explore sizes, ideas, timelines, and budgets. Then you can see whether a fiberglass pool makes sense. Without those insights you will only be guessing.<\/span><\/p>\n

It only takes a moment to get in touch with the Stefano\u2019s Landscaping team, and all initial surveys take place at your home. That means it won\u2019t cost you anything to get a detailed quote. You won\u2019t even have to travel past your front door.<\/span><\/p>\n
