 <\/p>\n

How much do fiberglass swimming pools cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our pools begin around $37,000 and can increase to over $75,000+.\u00a0 Prices are based on size, added features, pool decking options, and various other upgrades. \u00a0By comparison, concrete pools average $60,000\u2013$125,000.<\/p>\n

Extra features and upgrades will, of course, increase that price further with each type of pool.<\/p>\n

We have our Pool Specials<\/strong><\/a> section that shows current sale prices, and includes the excavation, backfill, plumbing, etc.\u00a0 Learn more here!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How long does it take to install a fiberglass pool?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A fiberglass pool can be installed in as little as 3 days<\/em>. The time to build the decking or patio area often is what takes a majority of the project time.<\/p>\n

The pool shell is often full of water and ready for swimming by the end of day two.<\/p>\n

Compare this to concrete pools with many pools taking over 3 months. On average, concrete pools take a minimum of 8 weeks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are fiberglass swimming pools easy to maintain?
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fiberglass pools are the\u00a0ideal material for swimming pools<\/strong>\u00a0because it is smooth, non-porous, strong and flexible.<\/p>\n

After installing your fiberglass pool, the average maintenance cost for 10 years is approximately $4,200; compared to $16,950 for concrete and $11,500 for vinyl liner pools.<\/p>\n
