Why Choose Fiberglass Pool Installation

Fiberglass solves the speed and simplicity problem. Pre-designed shells eliminate endless design decisions—you choose from available shapes and sizes that fit your yard, and we install it quickly. No agonizing over exact dimensions, bench positions, or plaster colors. Just pick the shell you love and we handle the rest. The installation timeline compresses from months to weeks because the shell arrives pre-formed and ready to set, allowing you to swim this season. The fiberglass surface is naturally resistant to algae and forgiving with chemicals, perfect for first-time pool owners learning maintenance without the risk of damaging expensive plaster finishes.

Why K&D Pools for Your Fiberglass Pool

Our fiberglass shells aren’t generic commodity products—we use manufacturers whose shells are thicker and more sturdy than competitors, backed by lifetime warranties. Just because installation is faster doesn’t mean you coordinate more contractors. We provide the same one-stop-shop service as our gunite customers: permits, excavation, shell placement, plumbing, electrical, decking, lighting, sound systems, fencing, and fire features. You get the same project management software access with real-time progress updates and direct team messaging. We also support first-time pool owners with education about maintenance and chemical management, setting you up for long-term success.

Prefer the Softer Feel of Saltwater?

Transform any gunite or fiberglass pool into a saltwater oasis. Saltwater systems generate their own chlorine from salt, eliminating harsh chemical odors and reducing skin and eye irritation. The water feels noticeably softer and silkier—gentle enough for sensitive skin and more comfortable for daily swimming. You’ll spend less time handling and storing harsh chemicals while enjoying lower maintenance costs over time. We install complete saltwater systems with your pool, integrating all equipment seamlessly into your design so you get the comfortable, natural-feeling water you want without any complexity.

Want Ultimate Safety and Convenience?

Add an automatic pool cover for push-button protection and energy savings. Automatic covers provide instant safety—covering your pool completely in under a minute to prevent accidents and unauthorized access. They also dramatically reduce heating costs by retaining heat overnight, minimize water evaporation by up to 95%, and keep debris out so you spend less time cleaning and more time swimming. Simply press a button and watch the cover glide across your pool. We integrate automatic cover systems into any gunite or fiberglass pool design, installing the mechanism and controls seamlessly so your pool stays protected, cleaner, and more efficient with zero effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a fiberglass pool cost?
Fiberglass pools start around $80-85k for basic installations with perfect site conditions. Most projects average around $120k depending on shell size, decking materials, features like waterfalls or lighting, and site challenges.
What sizes are available in fiberglass?
Fiberglass uses pre-fabricated shells (max 16’x40′) that install quickly. Gunite is built custom to any size or shape but takes 3-4 months. Choose fiberglass for convenience; choose gunite for unlimited customization.
How long does fiberglass installation take?
Typically a few weeks from excavation to swimming. The pre-formed shell sets quickly, and while backfill settles, we complete decking, plumbing, electrical, and features. Much faster than gunite’s 3-4 month timeline.
Can I add waterfalls and lighting to fiberglass pools?
Absolutely. We add waterfalls, jets, bubblers, LED lighting, sound systems, fire features, and custom decking around any fiberglass shell. The shell is pre-formed, but we customize everything around it.
How is fiberglass maintenance different from gunite?
Fiberglass resists algae growth and requires less brushing than gunite. The smooth, non-porous surface is more forgiving with chemical imbalances and won’t be damaged by beginner mistakes while learning pool care.
Does the warranty really cover the shell for life?
Yes. Our manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty on structural integrity of the fiberglass shell. This protects your investment and provides peace of mind for decades of ownership.
Do you provide pool equipment?
We provide and install pool equipment when we build our clients their pools, we do not provide or install equipment outside of our build projects.
Can the pool's appearance be updated later?
Unlike gunite, fiberglass shells maintain their original color and finish permanently. While you can’t resurface with new colors, the gel coat finish stays beautiful for decades and never needs replastering.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we’ve integrated our processes with financing partners that share our values and commitment to our customers with things like soft credit runs that won’t impact your credit score.
