Frequently Asked Questions - Henrico County VA
How long does a fiberglass pool install take in Henrico?
Most installs finish in two to three weeks once excavation begins.
- Because the shell is pre-manufactured, on-site work is streamlined compared to concrete.
Do I need both a county permit and HOA approval?
Yes, in many neighborhoods.
- The county permit addresses safety and code, while HOA or ARB approvals cover aesthetics. Therefore, we prepare drawings and specs to satisfy both.
What pool sizes fit West End and Short Pump lots?
Many rear yards accept 26- to 35-foot models with tanning ledges.
- Meanwhile, larger Wyndham and Twin Hickory lots can accommodate bigger footprints or spa combos.
How close can the pool be to my house or fence?
Setbacks vary by zoning and easements.
- Typically, installers design layouts to keep safe distances from structures and property lines. Your exact clearances are verified during permitting.
Will tight side yards prevent installation?
Not necessarily.
- Because fiberglass shells are craned in, we often lift over the home or a side yard. Accordingly, we perform a site check to confirm reach and staging.
Are fiberglass pools compatible with saltwater?
Yes.
- Salt systems are popular in Henrico because they are gentler on skin and simplify weekly care. In addition, fiberglass gelcoat pairs well with salt.
Can you coordinate with new-construction schedules?
Absolutely.
- Moreover, early planning with your builder helps align grading, utilities, and fence timing, so you can swim soon after move-in.
What fencing or barriers will I need?
Pools deeper than 24 inches require a compliant barrier and self-closing, self-latching gates.
- Your installer will align the plan with local code before final inspection.
How does fiberglass compare to concrete or vinyl here?
Fiberglass uses fewer chemicals, resists algae, and tolerates temperature swings well.
- Concrete can be beautiful but typically needs more maintenance. Vinyl is lower upfront but requires liner replacements over time.
