As the owner of a leading fiberglass pool installer in northeastern Massachusetts, I get a lot of questions about our products. Most of them focus on immediate concerns – I end up telling homeowners about cost savings, fast installation times, and unique color options. These details tend to dominate a lot of early discussions around designs and preferences.

One thing I wish people understood a bit more, though, is that choosing a fiberglass pool isn’t only about getting something you’ll love in the short term. It’s definitely a choice you’ll come to appreciate more and more with each passing year.

This is something I hear frequently when visiting past customers for maintenance or patio upgrades. They often say they weren’t sure about fiberglass pools at first but are glad to have made the right decision. This is especially true as time rolls on.

To help give some insights into why this is and what it could mean for your home improvement plan, here are five reasons future you is going to love the fiberglass pool you choose this year.

 

Your Fiberglass Pool Will Still Look Great in a Decade

This is probably the one thing past clients appreciate most about our fiberglass pool installation work. They tell me again and again that their pool looks “like new” even a decade after they have been delivered.

For those of us who grew up with concrete pools that can seem amazing. It’s really just simple science. Fiberglass pools are constructed from the same light, durable, and incredibly strong materials used to manufacture racing yachts. It’s incredibly difficult to damage them through normal recreational use.

There aren’t many things you can put in your home that will look fresh year after year. A fiberglass swimming pool is one of them, which is why your future self is going to love it.

 

Fiberglass Pools Require Less Maintenance

I have already mentioned that fiberglass pools are incredibly durable. The nature of their construction makes it highly unlikely that they’ll crack, shift, or bend. You’ll need to tend to accessories, but the pool itself can feel almost indestructible.

That’s a big deal when you contrast them with concrete or gunnite pools, which can suffer from chips, cracks, and other forms of damage. In fact, some repair and restoration projects can leave these pools unusable for entire seasons (or even longer). Because of this, I’ve learned that you’ll never appreciate just how much you and your family enjoy going for a swim until you can’t anymore.

Your future self doesn’t want to hire someone to fix cracks in your swimming pool and wait months for the job to be finished. That’s why they will be glad you chose a fiberglass pool installer to work with today.

 

A Fiberglass Pool is Easier on Your Body

If you’ve been swimming in a concrete pool you know how tough they can be on your body. Because gunnite has a very coarse finish, it can scrape or irritate your arms and legs when they come into contact. This usually happens when someone trips, enters the water from the side, or tries to exit the pool without using a ladder.

Fiberglass swimming pools, on the other hand, have a smooth gel coated finish. The feeling against your skin is similar to what you would experience in your bathtub. That makes them more comfortable, to be sure, but also safer for kids, pets, or guests who aren’t being very careful.

Avoiding bumps and rashes might not be your first consideration when choosing a swimming pool, but you can bet the future version of you will be glad you opted for a smooth fiberglass surface with the right fiberglass pool installer.

 

Fiberglass Pools are Much Easier to Heat

Usually, new customers come to us thinking about a swimming pool they can enjoy on a very hot day. However, New England offers a lot more than scorching afternoons. For most of the year – and even during parts of a warm summer day – you’ll want to warm the water in your pool to make you more comfortable.

That’s much easier with a fiberglass model than it is a gunnite pool. Fiberglass holds warmth better because of its insulative qualities. While concrete dissipates heat quickly, a fiberglass pool retains it. That makes it easier to enjoy while also lowering energy costs.

Whether you want to enjoy a relaxing swim on an autumn afternoon or just save money on utility bills, the version of you that exists five or ten years from now is going to be happy you opted for fiberglass pool.

 

This Installation Makes Your Home More Valuable

All of the long-term advantages I have already spelled out build on one another when you consider home-equity and resale value. Having a stylish, durable, safe, and energy efficient swimming pool can only make your property worth more than it is today.

Ultimately, I always encourage my customers to create the space they want to enjoy rather than thinking solely about future equity and returns. You should get to save her living in space you’ve created. But it never hurts to do something that might help you to have more money in the future.

If it ever comes time to sell or appraise your home at some point in the coming years, the future version of you who chose a fiberglass swimming pool is going to be happy with the decision.
