Estate pools and indoor pool rooms
Gladwyne clients often want more than a pool: a spa, an automatic cover, a pavilion, and in many cases an indoor pool or Endless Pool for year-round use. Indoor water is a building-science project — vapor barriers, dehumidification sized to the water surface, corrosion-resistant fixtures, and drainage all get designed before framing, because retrofitting any of it means opening the room back up.

Plans are reviewed by the Lower Merion Township code office. We file and track every permit for you.
