Inground Fiberglass Pool Options
Built for Long Island Weather
Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles destroy concrete pools over time. Fiberglass flexes with temperature changes instead of cracking. That’s why you see concrete pools needing resurfacing every 10-15 years while fiberglass pools look new for decades.
The gel coat finish handles our coastal salt air without fading or staining. Your pool color stays vibrant year after year. And when hurricane season brings heavy rains, the non-porous surface means faster chemical rebalancing and less downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does fiberglass pool installation take on Long Island?
Most fiberglass pool installations complete in 2-3 weeks from excavation to swimming. Weather can add a few days, but you’re typically swimming within a month of starting. Compare that to concrete pools which take 3-6 months minimum. The speed comes from installing a pre-manufactured shell rather than building the pool structure on site. We excavate, place the shell, connect plumbing and electrical, then backfill and start up your system. Much cleaner and faster than the concrete alternative.
Do fiberglass pools work well in Long Island's climate?
Fiberglass pools actually perform better than concrete in our climate. The flexible material handles freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, while concrete pools often develop structural issues over time. The gel coat surface resists salt air corrosion better than concrete, and the smooth finish makes spring opening much easier since algae can’t hide in porous surfaces. Many of our Nassau and Suffolk County customers report lower maintenance costs and fewer weather-related repairs compared to their previous concrete pools.
What's the maintenance difference between fiberglass and concrete pools?
Fiberglass pools require significantly less maintenance than concrete. The smooth, non-porous surface prevents algae from taking hold, so you’ll use about half the chemicals. No acid washing needed like concrete pools require. The gel coat finish doesn’t need resurfacing every 10-15 years either. Most of our Long Island customers spend 30-40% less time on weekly maintenance and see lower chemical costs year-round. The biggest difference is spring startup – fiberglass pools clear up much faster after winter closing.
Can you customize fiberglass pool shapes and features?
Yes, though differently than concrete pools. Fiberglass pools come in dozens of pre-designed shapes and sizes, with built-in features like steps, benches, spas, and tanning ledges molded right into the shell. While you can’t create completely custom shapes like concrete, the available designs cover most preferences and yard configurations. We help you select the best shell design for your space and needs. Many customers prefer the built-in features because they’re structurally integrated and won’t separate or crack over time.
What permits are needed for fiberglass pools in Nassau and Suffolk County?
Both Nassau and Suffolk counties require building permits for inground pool installation, plus electrical permits for pool equipment. Some areas also need health department approval and fence permits. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. Our established relationships with local building departments help keep your project on schedule. We know the specific requirements for each township and village, including setback requirements, safety equipment, and bonding specifications that vary across Long Island.
How much does fiberglass pool installation cost compared to concrete?
Fiberglass pools typically cost 10-20% more upfront than basic concrete pools, but the total cost of ownership strongly favors fiberglass. You save on faster installation (less site disruption costs), lower maintenance expenses, reduced chemical usage, and no resurfacing costs every 10-15 years. Most Long Island homeowners break even within 5-7 years, then enjoy decades of lower operating costs.
