Services
Custom Concrete Pools
Our custom concrete pools combine artistic vision with structural durability. Using advanced techniques like negative edge designs and glass block fountains, we create unique aquatic spaces tailored to property landscapes. Each installation incorporates premium materials and waterproofing systems that ensure longevity while accommodating specialized features such as integrated spas and natural rock formations. Our designs prioritize both aesthetic appeal and functional excellence for residential and commercial properties.
Fiberglass Pools
We install pre-molded fiberglass pools known for their durability and low maintenance requirements. These energy-efficient solutions feature non-porous surfaces that resist algae growth while maintaining structural integrity against ground movement. Our selection includes various shapes and sizes suitable for different backyard configurations, with installation processes that minimize disruption to existing landscapes while ensuring proper structural support and water circulation systems.
Pool Renovations
Our renovation services restore aging pools to like-new condition through comprehensive upgrades. We address structural issues, update mechanical systems, and incorporate modern design elements like LED lighting and automated controls. The process includes surface resurfacing, tile replacement, and equipment modernization while maintaining compliance with current safety standards and energy efficiency requirements for improved functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Outdoor Living Design
We create integrated outdoor living spaces that complement pool installations. Our designs incorporate fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and landscape elements to maximize usability and aesthetic harmony. The approach considers traffic patterns, weather protection, and material durability while incorporating lighting solutions and entertainment features that extend the enjoyment of outdoor spaces beyond swimming pool usage.
Commercial Pools
We design and construct pools for hotels, resorts, and multi-family housing developments. Our commercial projects meet strict safety regulations and accommodate high-usage demands through durable materials and efficient filtration systems. The process includes ADA compliance considerations, lifeguard station integration, and maintenance-friendly designs that ensure long-term operational efficiency while maintaining aesthetic appeal for guest enjoyment.

Indian Summer Pool and Spa was an excellent choice for us. They built our inground pool with many years of experience behind them... and it shows. We are so happy to have our new beautiful pool. And although our focus was to have a great recreational addition to our home we didn't realize it was also much more. It has been a great place to relax and unwind, have fun, entertain, eat (breakfast, lunch or dinner!).
Our backyard is so gorgeous now! Thanks to Doug Fenders excellent landscaping plan. Indian Summer is a very professional company with great communication and superbly quality work. We have had our pool for three years now with no problems what-so-ever. That's why we hire this company every year to open and close our pool. We know it will be a quality job well done with no issues.
