Pool & Landscaping Projects
There are many things that make fiberglass pools unique. Unlike concrete pools which need to be built or constructed on location, Fiberglass pools are single unit “shells”, constructed in factories and then installed on the property. Due to the way it is constructed, fiberglass provides added flexibility, which means that these pools are especially crack resistant. The single-shell Fiberglass units are specially treated with a gel-coating that keeps the surfaces smooth and the algae resistant.
M.E Contracting is a family run company with decades of combined professional experience for designing exceptional quality pools of all types. We love building and installing fiberglass pools because they provide such excellent value and quality performance for our clients.

They were able to come up with a wonderful design that enhances some unusual small pieces of land that we have in front of our house. The result was a very attractive garden with additional flourishes like trellises and large planter urns that enhanced our front entrance.

FIBERGLASS POOL BUILDING FAQS
Since fiberglass pools are built to stand the test of time, if you choose fiberglass you’ll be making an investment in a gift that gives back to your home with wonderful memories for decades to come. Want to find out more? We’ve put together answers to some of our commonly asked questions about Fiberglass pools below.
What are the "pros and cons" of fiberglass pools compared to other types?
There are many “pros” to fiberglass pools:
- Fiberglass pools have a slightly higher upfront cost than vinyl but are still less expensive than concrete installation.
- Fiberglass pools often come with unique built-in features, such as stairs and seats.
- Fiberglass pool surface is flexible and crack-resistant and is less prone to algae growth.
- Fiberglass pools have a lower maintenance cost and, if properly installed and maintained, can last over 30 years.
These are the “cons”:
- Since Fiberglass pools are made as shells and then installed, they come in a limited number of pre-designed shapes and sizes, which means that they are less customizable than other types of pools.
- While Fiberglass pools require less chemical treatment, the PH balance of the water is more delicate than other pool types.
How long do Fiberglass pools last?
Fiberglass pools can easily last for over 30 years! Beyond this, they are also durable, resistant to damage, flexible and crack-proof and are one of the lowest maintenance pool options on the market. These unique advantages come from the design and building techniques of fiberglass.
M.E Contracting specializes in seamless custom pool design. If the longevity and quality of Fiberglass pools entice you, we can find the perfect one for you!
What is the cost of maintaining fiberglass pools?
Fiberglass pools have some of the lowest long-term maintenance costs. Fiberglass doesn’t require the brushing, skimming and chemical treatments common with other pool types. They are also less porous, which means they are less likely to accumulate algae. This is primarily because of the gel coating that covers the fiberglass finish.
Fiberglass pools do require gel coating replacements, approximately every fifteen years. This makes Fiberglass cost-effective long term options requiring significantly less maintenance than some other options.
Do fiberglass pools crack?
Fiberglass pools rarely crack!
This is because the fiberglass pool is manufactured as one single-piece shell and coated with a gel-coating.
The construction process of the fiberglass shell creates a thinner and more flexible pool, that is resistant to cracking.
