Splash Fiberglass Pool Co. Is Passionate About Quality Products And Customer Care

If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your yard into a private oasis with a swimming pool, Splash Fiberglass Pool Co. is here to make that dream come true.

The Severna Park-based pool company opened in 2022, but the owners have over 40 years of construction experience under their toolbelts.

Sean Locklear, one of three owners at Splash Fiberglass Pool Co., explained that he and fellow Pasadena natives Ron and Josh Allen launched the business together after witnessing another local pool company close, which created a demand in the area.

All three had worked in construction together over the years: Ron Allen owned and operated R.S. Allen Masonry in Pasadena for roughly four decades and had worked on pool projects during his career. His son, Josh, had worked with him from a young age. Locklear also worked for Ron during the summers as a teenager.

They were more than coworkers, however; Locklear shared that from around the age of 5, he was best friends with Josh’s brother, Justin, who passed away in 2024. They went to school together, ate dinners together, worked together, and attended college together. An only child, Locklear spent so much time with Justin and the Allens that they became his second family.

So, when Locklear saw the chance to open a pool company in the Severna Park area, he turned to the Allens.

“I went to them and basically said, ‘Hey, look, I think there’s an opportunity. Nobody’s really doing fiberglass pools. Let’s start looking at this. I’ll build the website, I’ll get the licenses for us, I’ll do all that stuff if you guys will do the installation,’” Locklear recalled. “And we just put it together, started selling, putting pools in all together, and now we are more managing a bigger group of employees and have a great team and a great culture, and continue to grow, and we are doing (pools in) Maryland and Delaware.”

Since the three men opened their family business three years ago, Locklear has lost count of how many pools they’ve installed, but he knows it’s over 100 and that they have grown to installing about 70 per year today.

Supported by about a dozen employees and many subcontractors, all three owners at Splash Fiberglass Pool Co. are uniquely hands-on in every pool installation. One serves customers in the office; another handles the front-end of installations; and another helps on the back end with concrete, deck pads, pavers, retaining walls and more.

Splash Fiberglass Pool Co. works exclusively with the well-established, Florida-based fiberglass pool manufacturer San Juan Pools. Locklear explained the advantages of homeowners selecting fiberglass pools over concrete or other pools.

“The biggest thing with fiberglass is it’s lower maintenance,” he said, adding, “Fiberglass is an insulator, just like insulation in your walls is fiberglass. So, it just holds heat better, it holds the chemical balances better, it’s more efficient for your pumps.”

Thus, fiberglass pools consume less electricity, require less chemicals to maintain, and are easier to clean because they are non-porous, unlike concrete. If maintained properly, fiberglass pools have been known to last 40 to 50 years or longer, Locklear said.

Pool installation is just the beginning of what Splash Fiberglass Pool Co. offers its clients. The team also installs hot tubs and swim spas, and they provide pool opening and closing services.

And everything they do, Locklear noted, is “white-glove service.” A part of the company’s promise to its customers, which includes an eight-point guarantee, is that the pools are “stress-free, turnkey.” From start to finish, Splash Fiberglass Pool Co. handles every step of the job: permits, plumbing, electrical, concrete pads, covers and more.

“One call does it all,” Locklear said.

The same holds true for hot tubs and swim spas, popular lower-ticket items for customers whose yards cannot accommodate a swimming pool, or who want to enhance their pool area. Marylanders experience the full beauty of all four seasons annually, and while a pool can’t be used year-round, heated hot tubs and swim spas can be enjoyed 365 days a year.

Though they pride themselves on the quality of their products, Locklear and the Allens believe it’s their customer service that sets them apart as a superior pool company.

“Our customer satisfaction, taking care of the customers, and knowing that we’re not a business without taking care of our clients, that’s the main thing that I would say keeps us different,” Locklear emphasized. “We’re not fly-by-night; we’re here for a long time and (are) looking to build a legacy and a brand in the area.”

He shared an example of how Splash Fiberglass Pool Co. guarantees its work. A year after his team installed roughly 1,000 square feet of concrete decking around a pool, the client informed them it had numerous cracks – something Locklear said is not typical at all. So, Ron assessed the pool decking, and together they determined it all needed to be demolished and replaced. They did so at no cost to the customer.

Just as they care about their customers, Locklear and the Allens care about their community, too, and give back by sponsoring local baseball teams and donating to charities and churches. They are planning a golf tournament in October to support charity as well.

The temperatures will soon drop below swimming weather as leaves fall and pool covers come out of storage, but Splash Fiberglass Pool Co. is already building its 2026 installation schedule. Through September, the company is offering a promotion for customers to lock in 2025 pricing for 2026 jobs.

Summarizing what Splash Fiberglass Pool Co. is all about, Locklear said, “We love the community, we like taking care of people, and we love pools.”
