FAQS
What types of pools does SAMM Pools install?
SAMM Pools specializes in premium inground fiberglass pools from Thursday Pools. We offer a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles (e.g., family pools, lap pools, and models with built-in spas). We also provide custom CliffRock waterfalls, rock features, outdoor kitchens, and full backyard renovations.
How long does it take to install a fiberglass pool with SAMM Pools?
Fiberglass pool installation is much faster than concrete or vinyl options. We can typically excavate, set the pool, plumb it, and complete backfill in one day, with the full project (including patio and landscaping) finished in 3–6 weeks.
How much does a fiberglass pool cost in the Evansville/Newburgh area?
A complete fiberglass pool project with SAMM Pools (including installation, basic equipment, and patio) generally ranges from $45,000 to $100,000+, depending on size, features, site conditions, and custom upgrades like waterfalls or outdoor kitchens. We provide personalized estimates.
Are fiberglass pools suitable for Indiana’s clay soil and weather?
We offer strong manufacturer-backed warranties (often lifetime structural on the shell through Thursday Pools) plus coverage on gelcoat/finish and equipment. We’ll explain all details, including maintenance requirements to keep the warranty valid.
How much maintenance does a fiberglass pool require?
Fiberglass pools are low-maintenance due to their smooth, non-porous surface that resists algae. Expect $600–$1,200 per year on average for chemicals, cleaning, and minor upkeep — significantly less than concrete or vinyl pools. We provide training and ongoing service options.
Do you handle permits and site preparation?
Yes. SAMM Pools manages the entire process, including obtaining local permits, excavation, utility checks, and compliance with Evansville/Newburgh building codes and safety requirements (e.g., fencing).
Can I add custom features like waterfalls or outdoor kitchens?
Absolutely. As certified CliffRock installers, we create beautiful custom rock waterfalls, fire features, patios, and full outdoor kitchens to turn your backyard into a resort-style oasis.

How energy-efficient are your pools?
