Years Experience In Pool Industry.
The story of S&R Pools starts inside the pool industry.
Before S&R Pools ever existed, our founder, Shawn McGonagle, began his career working directly for a pool liner and safety cover manufacturer. His role focused on design work — engineering the products that other companies would eventually install. Over time, that position grew into Lead Designer, and eventually Manager of the Liner and Safety Cover Design Department.
Years of hands-on experience designing, engineering, and problem-solving liners and covers at the manufacturing level gave Shawn a deep understanding of how these products are supposed to work. He saw firsthand how they were engineered. And he saw, again and again, where they failed in the real world — not because of the product, but because of how they were installed.
One thing became clear during those years: The pool industry lacked specialists who focused exclusively on liners and safety covers. Most pool companies treat liner replacements and cover installations as one service among many. Shawn saw an opportunity to do something different — to do one thing, and do it right.
Every measurement, every installation, every detail matters.
We provide transparent pricing, clear timelines, and real guidance.
Most of our liner replacements are completed within one day.
We begin by understanding your specific pool needs and gathering essential
information about your pool’s size.

A custom-fit vinyl safety cover is one of the best ways to protect your pool year-round.
A custom-fit vinyl safety cover is one of the best ways to protect your pool year-round. Unlike loose, generic covers, our safety covers are precision-measured and professionally tensioned to prevent accidents, reduce debris, and minimize water loss. Installing a safety cover in the fall helps safeguard your pool through winter, reducing cleanup time and chemical costs come spring. If your existing cover shows sagging, fraying, or loose anchors, we can replace it with a durable new vinyl cover built for long-term protection and peace of mind.
Learn MoreMost people cover their pool during the cool weather months, but they often use a winter cover and not a custom-fit safety cover. Although a winter cover can help keep out a majority of the dirt and debris, it does little with regard to safety. Custom-fit safety covers are secured in place so that people and animals don’t accidentally fall in. A safety cover is also more efficient at preventing water evaporation so you won’t have to add a bunch of water when you open your pool in the spring.

Years Experience In Pool Industry.
Shawn McGonagle brings more than 16 years of hands-on experience in vinyl pool liner and safety cover design and installation. Before founding S&R Pools in 2009, Shawn served as Lead Designer and Manager of the Liner and Safety Cover Design Department at a pool liner and safety cover manufacturer.
That manufacturer-level background is rare in the installation world. It means Shawn understands not just how to install a liner or cover, but how it was designed to perform — and what causes it to fail when installation standards are not met. This insight informs every decision S&R Pools makes, from custom measurements to material selection to installation technique.
S&R Pools is also a Certified Merlin Authorized Dealer, ensuring that every product we install meets the highest quality and warranty standards in the industry.
