Our swimming pool contractors build three pool types, and the right one depends on your yard, your timeline, and how you plan to use the water. Many local builders work in a single construction type; we build all three, which is why the recommendation you get here starts from your lot instead of from a product line. Every build includes the equipment pad (pump, filter, and cleaning system), lighting, steps, and required safety features, installed and started up by the same crew that built the shell.
Concrete pools are built on site to any shape, size, or depth, which makes them the choice for custom designs, vanishing edges, tanning ledges, and unusual lots. They take the longest to build but carry no size constraints. Palm Beach concrete pools also handle attached spas and raised walls better than any other construction type.
Fiberglass shells arrive from the factory finished and are set in days rather than months of shell work. We install San Juan fiberglass pools, and the speed difference is the main reason buyers choose them: the shell that takes weeks to form in concrete arrives on a truck ready to place. Smooth gelcoat surfaces also resist algae and use fewer chemicals.
Vinyl liner pools install quickly and use the simplest construction of the three pool types. The liner is replaceable, so the pool’s look can be refreshed down the road without structural work. They fit families who want a full-size pool with the least construction disruption.
Attached spas, waterfalls, bubblers, sun shelves, tanning ledges, and LED lighting are simplest to include when they are built into the original plan rather than added later. Tell us during design and everything shares one permit and one construction schedule.
A new pool build usually includes pool deck installation in stamped concrete, travertine, or pavers, and it can extend into full outdoor living construction: kitchens, pergolas, and patio space. Planning the deck with the pool keeps grades, drainage, and finishes consistent across the whole backyard.
Fiberglass is faster and lower-maintenance; concrete is fully custom. That is the honest one-line version, and the table below is the longer one.
Fiberglass | Concrete / Gunite | |
|---|---|---|
Build timeline | Fastest; shell arrives finished | Longest; shell formed on site |
Design freedom | Factory shapes and sizes | Any shape, size, or depth |
Surface feel | Smooth gelcoat | Plaster, pebble, or tile finish |
Ongoing upkeep | Lowest chemical use, algae-resistant | Periodic resurfacing over its life |
Best for | Fast timelines, lower maintenance | Custom designs, spas, large or unusual lots |
Many buyers arrive assuming concrete and leave choosing fiberglass once they see the timeline difference, and plenty go the other way once they see what concrete can do on a custom lot. We build both, so the recommendation you get is based on your yard, not on the only product we sell.

New swimming pool construction is weather-exposed work in South Florida; when rain moves a step, your project lead tells you before you have to ask.
Check four things before hiring anyone, including us. First, verify the contractor’s Florida license on the state DBPR lookup rather than taking a badge’s word for it; ours is linked in the header of this page. Second, ask for proof of liability insurance and workers’ compensation, because an uninsured crew’s accident on your property becomes your problem. Third, confirm the builder pulls the permits in their own name; a contractor who asks you to pull an owner’s permit is shifting liability to you. Fourth, get the payment schedule and build sequence in writing before ground breaks. Any builder who hesitates on these four has answered your real question.
Pool design in West Palm Beach yards is a lot-by-lot problem: setbacks, easements, existing trees, and drainage decide more than taste does. Our design team draws the pool, deck, and outdoor living space as one plan, so nothing gets built twice. If your project is bigger than the pool, our complete design services cover the whole backyard.
Every new pool build starts with a free on-site estimate itemized by shell, equipment, deck, and features, so you can see what each part of the project involves and adjust the plan before anything is ordered. Financing is available; see our financing options page or ask during the estimate visit and we will walk you through what applies to your build.
Our pool builders work throughout Palm Beach County from our Jupiter, FL headquarters, and new pool construction in Jupiter, FL is home-turf work for our crews. We build in
Most new pool builds finish in 6 to 12 weeks once permits are issued. Fiberglass installations sit at the short end because the shell arrives finished; fully custom concrete builds with large decks run longer.
Yes. New pool construction requires building and electrical permits, and deck work often needs its own approvals. We handle the applications and inspections; permitting typically takes 2 to 4 weeks before ground breaks.
Fiberglass installs faster and needs less upkeep; concrete offers unlimited shape, size, and depth. We build both, so the recommendation follows your yard and timeline rather than a single product line.
Yes. Compact designs, plunge pools, and cocktail pools fit tight lots while meeting setback rules. The site visit tells us exactly what your yard allows.
Yes, and the build is the easiest time to do it. An attached spa shares the pool’s permit, plumbing runs, and construction schedule; adding one later means mobilizing a crew twice.
Every build includes the pump, filter, cleaning system, lighting, steps, and required safety features, installed and started up by our crew. Automation and heating can be added to the same equipment pad during the build.
Fall and winter are the best windows: less daily rain means fewer excavation and concrete delays, and the pool is ready before swim season. Summer builds work too; they just carry more weather risk.
Both. Design comes first on every project: shape, depth, features, equipment, and deck are drawn and approved by you before permitting. Build-only from someone else’s plans is the exception, not the rule.
