Types of Pools Built by Swimming Pool Contractors

Swimming pool contractors can build various types including in-ground pools, above ground pools, indoor pools, infinity pools, plunge pools and lap pools.

Pool contractors typically use concrete (also known as gunite), vinyl liner, and fiberglass for constructing in-ground swimming pools. Above ground pools generally use steel or resin frames with vinyl liners.

The timeline depends on the type and size of the pool. It could range from a few weeks for an above-ground or vinyl-lined in-ground pool to several months for a custom-designed concrete or gunite pool.

Several factors influence the cost including size of the pool, materials used, complexity of design, whether its an in-ground or above ground construction, additional features like lighting or waterfalls, and local labor rates.
