Pool Installation for Hassle-Free Enjoyment

A True Custom Builder


We do not work from a catalog. Every pool we design is shaped around your specific property and the way you want to live in your backyard. Our process starts with listening, and the design work reflects that. Whether you have a straightforward rectangular yard or a complex multi-level site with specific grade challenges, we approach every project as its own problem to solve.


No Subcontractors


Paladina handles every phase of your pool project with our own crew. Design, excavation, installation, plumbing, electrical, decking, and the final walkthrough, all done in-house. That is not common in this industry, and it makes a meaningful difference in quality, timeline, and communication. You always know exactly who is working on your project and who to call with questions.


Timelines That Respect Your Time


The industry average for a pool installation in Western Pennsylvania can stretch across several months. Paladina regularly completes full projects in 4 to 8 weeks, with the pool itself in the ground within 1 to 2 weeks of breaking ground. We accomplish this because our team is experienced, our process is disciplined, and we do not pass your project off between crews.


Full-Service Installation



From the permit application to the final equipment walkthrough, we manage every detail. You get one point of contact, one contract, and a team that is invested in the outcome. When your project is complete, you will not be left trying to figure out who installed what.

Built for Beauty. Engineered to Last.

Fiberglass Pools

Fiberglass pools are crafted as a single pre-formed shell and set into the ground as a complete unit. Because of how they are manufactured, they are among the fastest pools to install and require significantly less maintenance over time. The smooth, non-porous surface naturally resists algae, which keeps chemical costs lower year after year. For Pittsburgh homeowners who want a beautiful, durable pool with a streamlined installation, fiberglass is often an ideal choice.


Available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and finishes, fiberglass pools can be configured with integrated spa sections, sun shelves, tanning ledges, and other built-in features. The result is a pool that feels custom because it is.

Where Vision Meets Versatility

Vinyl Liner Pools

Vinyl liner pools are built on-site using steel or polymer walls, which gives them remarkable flexibility in shape, size, and depth. If your yard has an irregular footprint, a challenging slope, or a very specific design vision, vinyl liner is often the better path. There are no constraints on what we can build.


Paladina installs vinyl liner pools with durable, UV-resistant liners available in dozens of patterns and colors. When the time comes for a liner replacement, our team handles that too, making us a long-term resource for your pool rather than a one-time contractor.

Customer Stories

"After talking with three other pool companies, a friend referred us to Paladina. They responded to our request for information within two days and came on-site to see our yard. We immediately felt comfortable with Matt’s knowledge and experience. He helped us think through the pool position in the yard as well as various options. He was very patient and did not try to hard sell us on anything. We also like doing business with a family-owned company.   Paladina kept us informed throughout the entire process and were responsive when we had questions. Matt was onsite each day during installation and kept to the timetable he outlined. We were in fact swimming within a week of breaking ground. ​ As the summer progressed, Matt answered our calls and walked us through any questions we had. Paladina exceeded our expectations in helping us create the yard with an in-ground pool that we imagined."

"Matt and his team were great. They installed our pool, patio, fire pit and fence in just under 3 weeks!!! I'd highly recommend calling Paladina Pools if you are looking for a prompt and professional experience."

David T.

"My husband and I were specifically looking for a company that would “do it all” for us when it came to our in-ground pool project. Paladina Pools went over every last detail and made sure that everything was handled to make me happy. ​ From excavating, pool delivery & install, plumbing & gas lines, electrical, pavers, landscaping and fencing - Matt and his team did EVERYTHING! ​ Matt and his entire crew were all very professional. They cleaned up every day and were so efficient. I would highly recommend to anyone considering putting in an in-ground pool to give him a call. You won’t regret it!"

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Pool Installations

  • How long does it take to install an inground pool in Pittsburgh?

    Most Paladina projects are complete from start to finish in 4 to 8 weeks. In many cases, the pool is physically in the ground within 1 to 2 weeks of excavation beginning. That timeline is well ahead of most pool companies in Western Pennsylvania, where projects can easily stretch to several months.

  • What types of inground pools does Paladina install?

    We specialize in fiberglass and vinyl liner inground pools. Fiberglass pools offer a faster installation and lower ongoing maintenance. Vinyl liner pools allow for greater customization in shape and size. During your consultation, we will walk you through both options and help you choose the right fit for your yard and how you plan to use it.


  • Does Paladina use subcontractors?

    No. Every member of your project crew is a Paladina employee. We do not hand your project off to outside crews at any stage. That is by design. It allows us to maintain quality, move efficiently, and stay accountable to you throughout the process.

  • What areas does Paladina serve?

    We work with homeowners throughout the greater Pittsburgh area, including Wexford, Cranberry Township, the North Hills, South Hills, Murrysville, Peters Township, Bethel Park, Mt. Lebanon, McMurray, Fox Chapel, and surrounding communities across Western Pennsylvania.

  • Can Paladina install a spa alongside my pool?

    Yes. We offer built-in spas that are integrated directly into your pool design as well as standalone spas that operate as their own independent system. Both options can be designed to complement your backyard and how you want to use the space across all four seasons.

  • What is the difference between a custom pool builder and a pool store?

    A pool store offers packaged or catalog-based products. A custom builder like Paladina starts with your property and designs something specifically for it. If you want a pool that was designed and built for your home by a team that manages every detail, that is what we do.


  • How much does an inground pool cost in Pittsburgh?

    Pool pricing varies based on type, size, design complexity, site conditions, and decking. Fiberglass pools generally have a more predictable cost range given the standardized installation process. Vinyl liner pools can vary more widely depending on customization. The best way to get an accurate picture is a free consultation. We will review your property and provide a detailed, transparent quote.
