Few communities in Northern Illinois embrace life on the water quite like McHenry. Situated along the Fox River and connected to the Chain O’ Lakes, the area has long been known for boating, fishing, waterfront restaurants, and a lifestyle that encourages people to spend as much time outdoors as possible. That same appreciation for outdoor recreation has inspired many homeowners to create private backyard spaces where they can relax, entertain, and enjoy summer without leaving home.

For more than 40 years, Sonco Pools & Spas has helped homeowners throughout Northern Illinois create outdoor spaces built around the way they live. We proudly serve McHenry with premium Barrier Reef Fiberglass Pools, fiberglass pool installation, fiberglass pool resurfacing, vinyl liner replacement, concrete pool replastering, equipment upgrades, professional water testing, pool chemicals, and complete swimming pool renovation services.

A Pool That Fits Your Property—Not the Other Way Around

McHenry offers an incredible variety of residential properties, from established neighborhoods near downtown to larger lots on the outskirts of the city and homes near the Fox River. Every backyard has its own character, which is why every pool project should begin with careful planning rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Our design team evaluates your property’s layout, elevation, drainage, utilities, setbacks, and available space before recommending the Barrier Reef Fiberglass Pool that best complements your home. Whether your goal is creating a quiet retreat surrounded by landscaping or an open entertainment area with room for family and guests, we’ll help design a backyard that feels both functional and timeless.

Modern pool ownership has never been easier thanks to advanced automation systems, energy-efficient pumps, LED lighting, high-performance filtration, heaters, and saltwater-compatible equipment that work together to simplify maintenance while maximizing enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do so many McHenry homeowners choose fiberglass pools?

Many homeowners in McHenry are looking for a pool that’s easy to own without giving up style or performance. Fiberglass pools require less routine brushing than many other pool types, warm up quickly during the summer, and provide a smooth finish that’s comfortable for swimmers of all ages.

Every property is different, especially in areas closer to waterways. During your consultation, we evaluate drainage, soil conditions, setbacks, utility locations, and elevation changes to determine the best installation plan for your specific property.

Barrier Reef Fiberglass Pools are manufactured with exceptional structural integrity and are available in a wide range of modern designs. Their durable finish is engineered for long-term performance while offering homeowners an attractive, low-maintenance swimming pool.

In many cases, yes. If the pool structure is still sound, resurfacing, replastering, replacing the liner, upgrading equipment, or installing new lighting can dramatically improve both appearance and functionality without requiring a completely new pool.

Absolutely. We regularly upgrade pumps, filters, heaters, automation systems, lighting, and sanitization equipment for homeowners regardless of who originally installed the pool.

Many homeowners start planning during the fall or winter so design work, permitting, and scheduling are completed well before swimming season begins. Early planning often provides the greatest flexibility for installation timing.

Regular water testing helps identify small chemistry issues before they become larger problems. Throughout the swimming season, professional testing can improve water clarity, protect equipment, and extend the life of your pool’s finish.

For many families, a swimming pool becomes the centerpiece of outdoor living. It creates opportunities for exercise, entertaining, family activities, and relaxing evenings while encouraging more time spent outdoors.

Yes. Rather than recommending the biggest pool possible, we help homeowners choose a size and layout that fits their property, complements existing outdoor spaces, and matches the way their family plans to use the backyard.

Our reputation has been built on experienced craftsmanship, honest recommendations, premium products, dependable customer support, and helping homeowners create outdoor spaces they’ll continue enjoying for many years after construction is complete.
