Explore Your Pool Options
Not every pool is built the same. The right choice depends on your space, budget, and how you plan to use it. Here’s a closer look at the options we offer:
Fiberglass Pools
Low Maintenance. Long-Term Efficiency.
Fiberglass pools are a great fit if you want something simple to maintain without giving up durability. The smooth, nonporous surface helps resist algae, which means less cleaning and fewer chemicals over time.
They’re also quick to install and hold heat well, helping reduce ongoing energy costs. For many homeowners, it’s a straightforward way to get a reliable, long-lasting pool without a complicated build process.
Vinyl Liner Pools
Flexible Design with a Budget-Friendly Approach
Vinyl liner pools offer a balance between customization and affordability. With a wide range of liner patterns and colors, it’s easy to match your pool to the look and feel of your outdoor space.As a trusted installer of Latham vinyl pools, we focus on precise installation and long-term performance. And when it’s time for an update, liner replacements make it easy to refresh the look without starting from scratch.
Gunite Pools
Fully Custom. Built for Long-Term Durability.
If you want complete control over design, gunite pools give you the most flexibility. From shape and depth to features like tanning ledges, waterfalls, integrated lighting, and elegant pebble finishes using Wet Edge products, everything is built around your vision. You can also add custom water features to further elevate your pool’s design.
These pools are known for their strength and longevity, making them a popular choice for homeowners who want a fully customized outdoor space that will hold up for years to come.
Commercial Pools
Built for Performance, Safety, and Scale
Commercial pools come with a different level of complexity. Every detail needs to be handled with precision, from code requirements to heavy daily use.
Northern Pool & Spa has been building commercial pools since 1976, working with hotels, fitness centers, schools, apartment communities, and municipalities. Each project is designed to meet strict standards while still delivering a clean, functional, and durable final result.

- Consultation: Share your ideas, goals, and budget
- Design & Planning: Layout, features, and material selection
- Permitting: Handling local requirements and approvals
