Fiberglass Pools & Pool Builder in St. Petersburg, FL

Why fiberglass works for St. Petersburg homes
- Salt air near the bay is hard on exposed metal and on plaster finishes. A fiberglass pool’s gelcoat surface is non-porous, so it doesn’t need acid washing or replastering the way a plaster pool does, and many owners pair it with a salt system without worrying about etching.
- Several St. Pete neighborhoods are low-lying and within FEMA flood zones. Ask us early if your lot is in a flood zone; elevation, equipment placement, and permit requirements can change.
- Pools inside city limits are permitted through the City of St. Petersburg’s Building & Permitting division.
- Permit office: City of St. Petersburg Building & Permitting.
Pettit Fiberglass Pools is a factory-direct manufacturer and a licensed Florida contractor. Because the same company builds the shell and installs it, you get one warranty covering the work instead of a manufacturer and a separate installer pointing at each other.

St. Petersburg pool FAQs
Is fiberglass a good choice near the water in St. Pete?
Fiberglass gelcoat is non-porous and doesn't need replastering, which suits coastal homes where maintenance adds up. Equipment and screen hardware still need normal coastal care.
My home is in a flood zone. Can I still add a pool?
Often, yes, but flood-zone lots can have extra requirements. We review your address and the permit requirements with you before you commit.
Who issues the pool permit in St. Petersburg?
Inside city limits, the City of St. Petersburg Building & Permitting division. We prepare and submit the permit package.
Can you add a spa to the pool?
Yes. We build fiberglass pools with attached or separate spas and can quote both options.
