Fiberglass Pool Builders Serving Fairfax, Prince William & Fauquier County, VA
A fiberglass pool shell goes in the ground in 2 to 3 weeks, not the 3 to 6 months a poured gunite pool takes. NOVA Pool Builders designs the project and hands it to Outdoor Solutions, a licensed Class A contractor based in Bealeton, for construction.
- Fiberglass shells install in 2-3 weeks once the hole is dug
- Built by Outdoor Solutions, a licensed & insured Class A contractor
- One team for the pool, the patio, and everything around it
Faster to Swim
A fiberglass shell arrives pre-formed and goes into the ground in 2 to 3 weeks. Gunite pools take 3 to 6 months from permit to first swim because the concrete has to be poured, cured, and plastered on site.
See our fiberglass vs. gunite vs. vinyl comparison for the full breakdown.
Built for Virginia Winters
Northern Virginia gets real freeze-thaw cycles every winter. Gunite is porous and cracks under that stress, which is why gunite pools need replastering every 8 to 12 years at $10,000 to $18,000 a visit.
A fiberglass shell is a single flexible piece with a non-porous gel coat. It moves with the ground, and 10-year upkeep runs closer to $3,000 to $5,000.
One Team, Pool and Patio
Outdoor Solutions does hardscape and landscape work in addition to pools, so the patio, retaining wall, and pool deck get built by the same crew as the pool.
No coordinating between a pool sub and a landscaper on your own. See the pool and patio page.
How It Works
- 1
1. Consultation
We walk your yard, talk through what you want, and look at access, slope, and setbacks. You leave with a realistic sense of scope and cost before any design work starts.
- 2
2. Design
We size and place the shell to fit your lot, then lay out decking, fencing, and any patio or hardscape work as one connected plan rather than separate projects.

3. Permits
Every pool in Fairfax, Prince William, and Fauquier County needs a permit once it's over 150 square feet, holds more than 5,000 gallons, or is deeper than 24 inches. We prepare and submit the paperwork.
Requirements differ by county. See Fairfax County permits, Prince William County permits, or Fauquier County permits.

4. Build
Once the permit clears and the hole is excavated, the fiberglass shell sets in a day and the full install wraps in about 2 to 3 weeks. Decking, fencing, and equipment hookup follow on the same timeline.
Where We Build
NOVA Pool Builders covers Fairfax County, Prince William County, and Fauquier County, Virginia. Each county runs its own permitting process, and lot size, HOA rules, and setback requirements vary by town.
We also build dedicated pages for specific communities, including Great Falls and other towns across the three-county service area, so you can see permit and lot details specific to where you live.
What a Pool Really Costs Here
A fully installed fiberglass pool in Northern Virginia typically runs $70,000 to $135,000 or more, depending on shell size, decking, and equipment. That's higher than the national average of roughly $66,000 for an inground pool, which tracks with the region's labor and land costs.
Fiberglass costs more upfront than a basic vinyl liner pool in some cases, but it avoids the liner replacements every 7 to 10 years and the gunite replastering every 8 to 12 years that add up over time.

Pool + Patio, One Team
Most backyard projects are more than just a pool. Outdoor Solutions builds the patio, retaining walls, and landscaping around the shell as part of the same design-build project, so the pool deck and the surrounding hardscape are planned together instead of stitched together after the fact.
