When Frank Llaneza began searching for a pool for his own home, he couldn’t find a local installer that matched the quality, warranty, and seamless process River Pools offered.

Together, this team brings over 30 years of construction experience to the region. Frank and Bennett are Citadel graduates, and Christopher, a UNC-Chapel Hill football alum with an MBA and graduate work at Harvard, is a licensed general contractor with deep expertise in concrete and residential development.
Their combined backgrounds in construction, concrete, supply chain, and business—paired with River Pools’ proven process—make them uniquely equipped to deliver the highest-quality fiberglass pools to homeowners across the Charlotte metro and surrounding counties.

Thinking about adding a pool? Understanding the costs is a key part of planning your backyard transformation. Inground pools in Charlotte typically start around $65,000, with most fiberglass pool projects ranging from $80,000 to $90,000. High-end builds with custom features can go beyond $150,000.
What affects the price?
Pool Type: Fiberglass pools offer the best long-term value—lower upfront than gunite and far less maintenance than vinyl. With a durable gelcoat finish and lifetime structural warranty, fiberglass pools are built to last without costly repairs.
Backyard Access: Limited space for equipment can increase costs by $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity of the site.
Project Scope: Add-ons like patios, spas, or retaining walls will raise the total investment. We can help you plan a design that fits your space and your goals—whether you're building all at once or in phases.
At River Pools of the Carolinas, we make the process clear, so you can move forward with confidence.
In most cases, the installation process takes about 3–6 weeks from the time we break ground. Timelines can vary based on weather, permits, and custom features.
Yes. Most areas in and around Charlotte require permits for inground pool installations. River Pools of the Carolinas takes care of the entire permitting process for you, so everything meets local codes and stays on schedule.

The high humidity in the summer can encourage algae growth in traditional pools, but fiberglass surfaces are non-porous and algae-resistant—making them much easier to maintain in our climate.
