Choosing the right inground pool is one of the most important decisions in your backyard project. At Orange County Pools, we specialize in installing fiberglass pools and vinyl liner pools in Westchester County & the Hudson Valley, two of the most popular and cost-effective inground pool options available today.
Below is an overview of the main types of inground pools and what to consider when choosing the best fit for your home.
Fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured shells that are installed as a single piece, making them one of the fastest pool types to install.
Benefits of Fiberglass Pools:
Smooth, non-porous surface that resists algae
Low maintenance and reduced chemical usage
Quick installation timeline
Durable and long-lasting
Available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors
Fiberglass pools are an excellent choice for homeowners who want a beautiful pool with minimal upkeep and long-term value.
✅ Orange County Pools proudly sells and installs fiberglass pools.
Vinyl liner pools (also called liner pools) feature a custom-built structure with a vinyl liner installed inside. They offer flexibility in design and are often a more budget-friendly inground option.
Benefits of Vinyl Liner Pools:
Customizable shapes and sizes
Lower upfront cost compared to other pool types
Smooth surface that’s comfortable on feet
Easy liner replacement when needed
Vinyl liner pools are ideal for homeowners who want a customized look while keeping costs under control.
✅ Orange County Pools proudly sells and installs vinyl liner pools.
Gunite pools are built on-site using a steel framework and sprayed concrete, allowing for highly customized designs and luxury features.
Important Note:
While gunite pools are a popular option, Orange County Pools does not currently offer gunite pool installations.
If you’re interested in a gunite-style look, our team is happy to help you explore fiberglass or vinyl liner alternatives that can achieve a similar aesthetic with less maintenance and faster installation.
Every backyard and homeowner is different. Our experienced team will help you compare options, understand costs, and choose the pool that best fits your space, lifestyle, and budget.

We design and install vinyl liner pools and fiberglass inground pools for residential properties. Both options offer durability, long-term value, and a wide range of design possibilities. The best choice depends on your budget, maintenance preferences, yard layout, and desired installation timeline.
Vinyl liner pools are highly customizable and typically start at a lower initial cost. They’re built with steel or polymer wall panels, and the liner defines the finish and feel.
Fiberglass pools use a one-piece, factory-molded shell for fast installation and low maintenance. Their smooth gel-coat surface helps resist algae and staining.
Vinyl highlights: customization, softer surface, flexible sizes/depths — with liners typically replaced every 7–12 years.
Fiberglass highlights: fastest timeline, lowest long-term maintenance — with more limited shape customization and requiring yard access for delivery.
Most inground pool projects start around $70,000 for the pool and necessary equipment, with final pricing based on site conditions and project scope.
Factors that affect cost include pool type, size/depth, yard access and excavation conditions, utility runs (electrical/plumbing/gas), decking/coping/fencing/landscaping, and optional upgrades like heaters, lighting, or automation.
We provide transparent, itemized proposals so there are no surprises.

Maintenance varies slightly by pool type:
• Fiberglass: lowest maintenance thanks to a smooth, non-porous surface
