From the historic homes near downtown to the newer communities surrounding Saratoga Lake, this vibrant city is known for its beauty and culture—and homeowners here expect outdoor spaces to match. We’ve helped Saratoga Springs residents elevate their backyards with elegant, modern pool designs that blend seamlessly with their landscape and lifestyle.
In Schenectady, we serve families looking to maximize their outdoor living potential. With a mix of classic neighborhoods and suburban developments like Niskayuna and Glenville, fiberglass pools are a smart, durable solution for this four-season region. Our team handles every detail, helping your pool integrate perfectly with your home and yard.
As our home base, Clifton Park is where we live, work, and build pools with pride.

You’ll benefit from quick service and consistent communication from a team that’s right in your backyard.

It’s probably the first question on your mind—and we get it. Installing a pool is a big investment, and you want to know what to expect.
In the Capital Region, most inground pool projects start around $65,000, and depending on what you want to include, they can go up past $200,000. For a fiberglass pool—which is what we specialize in—most of our customers spend between $75,000 and $90,000 on a full backyard setup.
Now, what makes one project cost more than another? Here are the big factors:
We install fiberglass pools, but we’ll walk you through the other types too—because knowing the pros and cons matters.
Gunite (concrete) pools are fully customizable but are usually the most expensive to install and maintain over time.
Vinyl liner pools are more affordable upfront but need liner replacements every 7–10 years, which can get pricey in the long run.
Fiberglass pools hit that sweet spot—great value up front, and even better long-term savings. They're also super durable and low-maintenance, thanks to their smooth gelcoat surface.
In short: fiberglass pools are the most cost-effective long-term option, and they come with a lifetime structural warranty.
If we can get trucks and equipment into your backyard without much hassle, installation goes more smoothly—and costs less. But if your space is tight, sloped, or blocked off, it can add $5,000 to $10,000 or more to your project. We’ll assess this during your site visit and walk you through what’s involved.
Some folks want just the pool and patio. Others are dreaming big—with a spa, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, or even a pool house.
No matter your vision, we’ll help you create a plan that fits your budget now and can grow with you later. Whether you build it all at once or in phases, we’re here for the long haul.
In most cases, the installation process takes about 3–6 weeks, depending on weather, backyard access, and project scope. Custom features like patios, retaining walls, or landscaping can add time, but we’ll always give you a clear timeline up front.
Yes—we take care of all necessary local permits and code compliance. Every town in the Capital Region has slightly different requirements, and we’ve worked with municipalities across Albany County, Saratoga County, and beyond. You won’t have to worry about paperwork—we’ve got it covered.
Absolutely. That’s one of the best parts of working with River Pools Capital Region. Our team brings decades of outdoor design experience to the table—from layout and pool shape to landscaping and hardscaping. Whether you’re in Albany, Clifton Park, or Saratoga Springs, we’ll help you create a space that works for your yard and your lifestyle.
Fiberglass pools are known for being low-maintenance. The smooth gelcoat surface resists algae, which means less scrubbing and fewer chemicals compared to vinyl or concrete pools. You’ll still need to test water regularly, keep filters clean, and maintain water levels—but overall, fiberglass offers one of the easiest maintenance experiences.
While we don’t finance directly, we can connect you with trusted financing partners who specialize in pool and backyard projects. We’re happy to walk you through the process and help you find a plan that fits your budget.
