A Pool Built
For The Way You
Live

Coastal Pools & Spas installs inground pools for homeowners across Westchester County, Putnam County, Rockland County, Dutchess County, and the wider Hudson Valley region. "Inground pool contractor" covers the installation itself, regardless of which pool type you choose — fiberglass, gunite, or a custom luxury design.

If you already know which pool type you want, our fiberglass pool builder, gunite pool builder, and luxury pool builder pages go into the process and features for each. This page is a starting point if you're still comparing options.

THE BUILDER ROLE

What an Inground
Pool Contractor
Does

An inground pool contractor manages the project from site evaluation through to a finished, working pool. Homeowners searching for an inground pool contractor or inground pool company are typically looking for a single point of contact who can handle the whole process rather than coordinating separate trades themselves.

01

Reviewing your yard for access, grading, and drainage before construction starts

02

Helping you choose a pool type and design that fits your property and budget

03

Coordinating excavation, plumbing, and electrical work with licensed trades where needed

04

Installing equipment for filtration, sanitation, and any automation you choose

05

Walking you through startup, water balancing, and basic care at handoff

POOL TYPE GUIDE

Comparing Inground
Pool Types

"Inground pool" describes where the pool sits, not what it's made of. The two main construction types we build are fiberglass and gunite, and the right choice depends on your timeline, budget, and design goals.

Fiberglass pool
POOL TYPE 01

Fiberglass

A pre-formed shell set into an excavated space. Generally a shorter installation window and a smooth, non-porous surface that doesn't need resurfacing. See our fiberglass pool builder page for details.

Gunite pool
POOL TYPE 02

Gunite

Built and shaped on-site over a steel frame. More flexibility in shape and size, but takes longer and needs periodic resurfacing. See our gunite pool builder page for details.

If your priority is a highly custom design with premium features, our luxury pool builder page covers what typically goes into that kind of project, regardless of which base material you choose.

PROJECT INVESTMENT

What Affects the
Cost of an Inground
Pool

There's no single price that applies to every project. Cost depends on several factors specific to your pool and property:

01Pool type

Fiberglass and gunite have different cost structures and timelines

02Pool size and shape

Larger or more complex designs cost more to build

03Site access

Tighter driveways or limited equipment access can add time and cost

04Grading and drainage

Sloped or wooded lots may need extra site work before construction begins

05Equipment package

Pump, filtration, sanitation, heating, and automation options all affect the total

06Decking and patio materials

Pavers, stone, and concrete decking vary widely in price

07Permitting fees

Set by your municipality and vary by project

We provide an itemized quote after a site visit, so you can see exactly what's driving the cost for your property rather than working from a generic estimate.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Inground Pool
FAQ

01What does "inground pool" mean, versus above-ground?

An inground pool is built into the ground rather than sitting on top of it, using a permanent shell or structure such as fiberglass or gunite. Above-ground pools are freestanding structures set on the surface.

02Is an inground pool contractor the same as an inground pool company?

Yes. Homeowners use "contractor," "company," and "builder" interchangeably when searching for this service. They all refer to the business responsible for planning and installing the pool.

03Should I choose fiberglass or gunite for my inground pool?

It depends on your timeline, budget, and design goals. Fiberglass generally installs faster and needs less surface maintenance. Gunite allows more custom shapes but takes longer and needs periodic resurfacing. Our fiberglass and gunite pages above cover each in more detail.

04How long does an inground pool installation take?

It depends on the pool type. Fiberglass installations are typically completed within a few weeks once permits are approved. Gunite construction includes curing time between stages, so the schedule usually runs longer. Weather and inspection scheduling can affect either timeline.

05What areas does Coastal Pools & Spas serve?

We serve homeowners across Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, and Dutchess counties, along with the surrounding Hudson Valley. See the service area links above, or request an estimate to confirm coverage for your address.

06How do I find an inground pool contractor near me?

Start with your county page above if you're in our service area. If your town isn't listed, request an estimate and let us know your location, and we'll confirm whether we can take on the project.

07Can an inground pool contractor help with permits?

In most cases, yes. Our team can help with local permitting requirements and coordinate the paperwork and inspections that are part of the project timeline. Specific permit rules vary by municipality, so this is confirmed during your site consultation.

08What equipment comes with a new inground pool?

A typical installation includes a pump, filter, and sanitation system sized to your pool, along with basic safety and lighting equipment. Many homeowners add automation controls, energy-efficient pumps, or heating as upgrades.

09Can I add patios, outdoor kitchens, or other features with my pool project?

Yes. We coordinate backyard features like patios, walkways, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and retaining walls alongside a pool build so the finished space works together.

10What should I ask an inground pool contractor before hiring them?

Useful questions include how they handle permitting, what their process looks like from start to finish, what's included in the equipment package, and what warranty coverage applies to the pool and workmanship. A written scope and timeline before work begins is a good sign you're working with an organized contractor.

There were a few adjustments along the way (mainly around timing and one layout tweak), but they were addressed without much hassle. Overall, it turned out the way we discussed, and we’ve been using the backyard more than we used to.

I mostly worked with Alex on the planning side, and he was pretty practical about what would and wouldn’t work for our yard. During construction, the crew led by Chris was consistent and didn’t leave us guessing about what was happening next.

In July 2024, we had a fiberglass pool installed, and working with the team at Coastal Pools and Spas was an absolute pleasure! We can be pretty particular, but they exceeded all our expectations. Designing our backyard with Alex was a fantastic experience, and once construction began, he managed every detail with precision. The entire crew was hardworking, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. We couldn’t be happier with our new pool—highly recommend Coastal Pools!

Our experience with Coastal Pool Company was fantastic! As the general contractor coordinating between them and our homeowner client for a pool renovation, we truly appreciated their attention to detail. Alex, the project coordinator, was proactive in identifying potential issues, from plumbing to wiring, ensuring everything met inspection standards. They went above and beyond to answer our questions and take care of every need.

Alex kept us informed every step of the way, explaining the construction process and how each pool feature enhanced the overall experience. We couldn’t be happier with our pool, especially our Auto-cover, which keeps the water warmer and cleaner. The team is professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend Coastal Pools for anyone looking for top-tier service and expertise

They replaced our pool liner and changed the filter sand with excellent workmanship. The team was a pleasure to work with, and I particularly appreciated how Andre took the time to teach and guide his apprentice during the process.
