We design it, sell it and build it ourselves.

It matters who actually builds your pool. We aren't professional salespeople, we're professional builders, and we don't hand installations off to subcontractors. From the first walk around your yard to the day you swim, the people working on your pool are us.

Our reputation rides on every project. We can put the whole package together for you, with the pool, spa, deck, lighting, water features and cover designed and built around the way you'll use them.

An automatic cover that closes the whole pool.

These are five frames of the automatic cover on a Monte Carlo we built in Union Pier. Scroll, or drag the slider, to run it across the pool.

  • The mechanism sits under a Vanishing Lid at the end of the pool.
  • The track is powder coated to match the colored concrete deck.
  • We fit winter and safety covers too.

Pools, spas and everything that goes around them.

We handle the shell, the spa, the deck, the lighting and the cover, so all the pieces get planned together.

Why we build in fiberglass.

San Juan has been making fiberglass pools since 1958. A one-piece shell skips most of the upkeep that vinyl and concrete pools need, and if you sell the house, the next owner gets the same pool instead of a repair bill.

25Every San Juan pool carries San Juan's 25-year warranty against structural defects.

No liner to replace

A fiberglass pool has no vinyl liner, so there's nothing to tear, fade or replace, for you or for whoever buys the house after you.

No replastering

Concrete and gunite pools need acid washing, replastering or repainting every few years. A fiberglass shell doesn't.

One seamless piece

The shell is a single piece, so there are no seams to leak and nothing to re-caulk or patch later on.

Easy to keep clean

The gel coat finish is smooth and the corners are rounded, so dirt and algae have very little to hold on to.

    Then it's yours. When it needs maintenance, a repair or a new cover, you call the same people who built it.

Benchmark. Fiberglass pools. We have a hot tub attached to a small lap pool. Pool cover covers both. Love it.
