Years Building Pools
Al Shirley & Son, Inc. has been the leading pool and spa business in the Winchester and Frederick County community for more than fifty years. We are still family owned, still family run, and still answering our own phone.
That means the person who designs your pool is the person who prices it, and the crew that digs the hole is the crew that comes back to open it next spring. No subcontractors, no call centre, no surprises.
From the first sketch to the last bag of shock, we handle the whole thing — and we keep handling it for as long as you own the pool.
Fox vinyl liner, fiberglass and steel/concrete pools engineered for Virginia winters and built by our own crews.
Trevi vinyl pools and the semi-in-ground Ultimate Pool — easy on the budget, big on summer.
Waterfall and PoolMate spas with up to 25 massaging jets, ready to use twelve months a year.
Openings, closings, weekly care and honest water chemistry advice from people who answer the phone.
A fully stocked shop in Stephenson with free water testing every day and experts on hand.
Retaining walls, paver patios, decking and fencing that turn a pool into a proper backyard.
We are a Fox Pool authorised dealer. Their patented X-Brace technology and powder-coated 14-gauge steel panels give an in-ground pool the strength to handle Shenandoah Valley frost heave without rusting or shifting.
Prefer fiberglass or a commercial-grade steel and concrete build? We install those too — including lap pools, wading pools, therapy pools and swim spas in nearly any shape you can draw.

No mystery, no moving goalposts. Here is exactly how a project with us runs.
We come to you, walk the yard, talk budget and sun angles, and tell you honestly what will and will not work.
You get a design and an itemised price — shape, depth, decking, liner pattern and equipment all spelled out.
Our own excavation and installation crews do the work, from permits and digging to plumbing and start-up.
Spring openings, fall closings, water testing and repairs — for as long as the pool is in the ground.
Every one of these was designed, dug and finished by our own crews in Frederick County and the surrounding communities.
We hold a VA Class A contractor licence, which means the retaining wall, the paver patio, the deck and the fence can all be part of the same job, on the same schedule, with one company standing behind it.
Decorative block, stamped concrete, pavers, wood decking, aluminium, wood and vinyl fencing — and we install fencing for every application, not just pools.
The name on the truck is the family in the office. Decisions get made on the spot, not escalated to a regional manager.
Excavation, installation, plumbing and finish work are all done by people who work for us and answer to us.
Bring a sample to the Stephenson shop any day we are open. Expert analysis, a written plan, and no pressure to buy.
VA Class A #2701 014832 and WV #WV006309, carried and current — ask us for a copy any time.
Custom shapes, integrated spas, waterfalls and lighting, priced against the standard-rectangle competition.
Before-hours sample drop-off, after-hours chemical pickup, and a human being on the other end during store hours.
Five decades of backyards, and the neighbours keep sending neighbours.
We are a local shop with local crews. If you are within about an hour of Stephenson, chances are we have already built a pool on your road.
Honestly, it depends far more on the yard than the pool. Access for equipment, rock, slope and how much decking you want move the number more than shape or size does. That is exactly why our estimate is free and done on site — we would rather give you a real number than a brochure range. Book a free estimate and we will price it properly.
For a typical Fox vinyl liner in-ground pool, plan on roughly four to eight weeks from breaking ground to swimming, weather and permits allowing. Above-ground pools are usually a matter of days. We give you a real schedule before we start and tell you promptly if rain moves it.
Yes, and a great deal of our service work is exactly that. We repair and maintain all major equipment brands including Hayward, Sta-Rite and American Products, and we replace liners in pools built by anyone. See pool services.
We do, every day we are open, with an expert on hand to read it and explain it. We also offer before-hours sample drop-off and after-hours chemical pickup for people who cannot make it during store hours. More on pool water testing.
Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Loudoun and select parts of Shenandoah County in Virginia, plus Jefferson, Berkeley, Hampshire and limited parts of Morgan County in West Virginia. Full detail on our service areas page.
Earlier than you think. Our opening calendar fills through March and April, so calling in late winter gets you the week you actually want. Same goes for fall closings in September. See openings and closings.
Tell us a little about your project and we will come out, measure, talk options and give you an honest, itemised estimate — at no cost and with no pressure.
