Ulster County sits in the Hudson Valley, with the Hudson River running along its eastern edge and a mix of rural and small-town properties throughout — we scope each project to the specific site rather than a generic template.

Frequently Asked Questions

```

How long has Coastal Pools & Spas been building pools in Ulster County?

We've been designing and building pools since 2004, with over 20 years of experience across fiberglass, gunite, and custom pool projects for homeowners throughout Ulster County.

Should I choose a fiberglass or gunite pool?

It depends on your timeline, budget, and design goals. Fiberglass generally installs faster and needs less maintenance, with the shell backed by a lifetime warranty. Gunite allows more custom shapes but takes longer and needs periodic resurfacing.

Do you offer pool types other than fiberglass and gunite?

Yes. Alongside fiberglass and gunite, we also build semi-inground, vinyl liner, and indoor pools for specific projects, depending on what fits your property and budget.

How much does a pool cost in Ulster County?

Cost depends on pool type, size, site access, equipment package, and decking materials. We provide an itemized quote after a site visit.

How long does it take to build a pool in Ulster County?

Timelines vary by 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.

Does Coastal Pools & Spas handle permits for pool projects?

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 within Ulster County.

Do gunite pools need resurfacing?

Yes, over time. The interior finish wears gradually and typically needs resurfacing at some point during the pool's life. See our swimming pool resurfacing page for details.

Can I add a patio or outdoor kitchen alongside my pool project?

Yes. We coordinate patios, outdoor kitchens, and other backyard features alongside a pool build, so the finished space works together as one project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out for a quote, and Alex stopped by that same week. He provided valuable insights and delivered a detailed estimate within a few days. After comparing multiple contractors, Alex's proposal stood out in both pricing and timeline, making it the best choice.

We decided to move forward with Coastal Pools and Spa, and from design and sketches to final touches—including the security fence for my kids—everything was handled with precision and care. Couldn't be happier with the results!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

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

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial consultation, my wife and I were so impressed with Alex, we discussed many different design ideas that we didn’t think were possible, he LISTENED to what our needs were instead of dictating the way “it should be” which is what many other contractors we interviewed said. Turns out it was the easier path to take for them but not the best for us.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We began this journey in April 2023 with a less-than-stellar pool contractor. After reversing course, we ended up hiring Coastal Pools based on a neighbor’s referral, that ended up being a fantastic experience. We appreciated Alex’s honest insight and assistance throughout our process and could not be more pleased with the professionalism of the team. After researching the various manufacturers of pools, it was clear that the design, engineering, and quality of a fiberglass pool from Coastal Pools is superior to the other options available in our area and carries the best long-term warranty. If you are thinking about putting in a fiberglass pool, I highly recommend Coastal Pools. They have been courteous, professional and responsive to all our questions and concerns.
