Fiberglass is fast and low-maintenance but comes in fixed shapes. Vinyl is the cheapest way in and the most frequent to renew. Gunite costs the most and is the only one you can design freely. In Florida, the water table quietly shapes all three.
Custom PoolsBuying Guide
The best pool builder for you is the one whose license, insurance, contract and payment schedule hold up when something goes wrong, not the one with the best rendering. Here is how to check each of those before you sign.
Custom PoolsPlanning
A gunite pool is built in a fixed order, and most of the calendar is spent waiting on things you never see: plan review, inspections, cure time and the weather. Here is each phase, what happens in it and what tends to hold it up.
Custom PoolsCost Guide
National cost guides put a typical inground pool somewhere between the mid-forties and the high-eighties in thousands of dollars, and concrete pools higher. The number that matters is the one after the deck, the enclosure and the lot are counted.
Custom PoolsMaterials
A cracked or chalky pool deck does not always need tearing out. A coating renews sound concrete; pavers and travertine replace the surface and the look. What decides it is the slab underneath, drainage and how hot the surface gets at 3 p.m. in July.

In the vacation-home corridor around the parks, a private pool is often part of what guests are searching for. Whether it pays for itself depends on the rules where the house sits, how the pool is heated and serviced, and numbers only your own market data can give you.

Most Central Florida pools are comfortable without heat for a large part of the year and too cold for many swimmers in the winter months. Heat pumps are the efficient default, gas is the fast one, and solar can do a lot if the roof cooperates.
Custom PoolsHow-To

Custom PoolsMaintenance
Rough spots that snag swimsuits, stains that will not brush out, hollow-sounding patches and a finish that eats chemicals are the signs. How soon they show up in Florida depends more on water chemistry than on the calendar.
