Vinyl liner pools are for folks chasing the lowest upfront cost—usually house flippers, rental property owners, or first-time buyers on a tight budget who want something in the ground fast. If you’re okay with swapping liners every few years and don’t mind limited design options, this might be your starter pool. Just know: it’s not built to last.
Fiberglass pools are for homeowners who want less maintenance and a quicker install than concrete, but don’t need much customization. They work best for buyers with wide-open yards and simpler tastes who don’t plan on adding many bells and whistles. If you’re okay picking from a catalog and crossing your fingers it fits, fiberglass is a decent middle ground—but far from perfect in North Carolina soil.
Concrete pools are for homeowners who plan to be in their house for the long haul and want their pool to reflect that. Whether you’re dreaming up a cozy plunge pool, a backyard cocktail retreat, or a splash zone for the kids—concrete lets you build exactly what you want, where you want it. If you care about long-term value, customization, and a pool that handles real life (dogs, dirt, summer storms, you name it), this is the pool for you.
