With those credentials at the helm, then it is probably wise to take Holmes’ commentary about fiberglass swimming pools seriously.

Recently featured in The National Post, a Canadian, English-language, broadsheet daily newspaper, Holmes proudly tipped his hat to the fiberglass swimming pool industry. Just as he is committed to fully elevating home building practices and standards to provide better homes to homeowners, Holmes is equally passionate about the type of swimming pool construction materials he recommends to others.

And what he would choose for his own backyard oasis.

“If I were considering a pool today, it would be fiberglass,” Holmes emphasized in the featured article.

Holmes gave a strong nod to the many benefits of inground backyard fiberglass pools in this interview. He lauded their durability, low maintenance appeal, more efficient installation times, and their ability to retain heat better than other types of swimming pool construction materials.

We don’t want to give away the whole story in this post, however. So, be sure to take a peek at Holmes’ exciting thoughts on fiberglass swimming pools and how he believes they are the right choice for interested pool owners.
