How we build your fiberglass pool, step by step

The steps

1. 1

   Free consultation at your home

   We look at the yard, access, slope and utilities, and talk about what you want and your budget.

2. 2

   Design and written proposal

   You get a clear proposal with options and one total price. You approve and sign online.

3. 3

   Permits and utility locates

   We file the town permit and call 811. We'll keep you posted on where it stands.

4. 4

   Excavation

   We dig, haul away the soil and build a compacted stone base.

5. 5

   Shell set and plumbing

   Your Barrier Reef shell arrives and is set by crane, leveled and plumbed.

6. 6

   Backfill, electrical and patio

   Backfill, bonding and equipment hookup by a licensed electrician, then coping and the patio.

7. 7

   Fill, start-up and walkthrough

   We fill the pool, balance the water and show you how everything works.

How long does it take?

Once the permit is approved, most fiberglass pools are swimmable in a few weeks. Weather, permits and patio choices can change the timing, and we'll give you a realistic schedule up front.

What we need from you

• A rough idea of where you'd like the pool and how you'll use it
• Your survey or plot plan if you have one (it speeds up the permit)
• Access for equipment to reach the backyard
• Decisions on the patio, color and extras before we order the shell

How we keep you in the loop

Every customer gets a private online portal. You'll see your proposal, the schedule, photos from each step, documents like the permit and warranty, and you can message us anytime. We also text you the day before each step and when the crew is on the way.
