Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a fiberglass pool cost in Gainesville?
Fiberglass pool projects in the Gainesville area typically range from $55,000 to $155,000, depending on the model, size, and site conditions
Factors like access for equipment, retaining walls, decking materials, and water features can affect total pricing. Our local Rainforest Pools builder offers transparent quotes and complete turnkey options — from excavation to the final pool school— so you always know what to expect.
Why is fiberglass a good choice for North Florida homes?
Fiberglass pools handle Florida’s climate better than any other type.
They flex with the soil, resist algae growth, and require far less maintenance than concrete or vinyl. Gainesville’s sandy soil and high water table make fiberglass especially practical — no cracking, peeling, or resurfacing needed. Plus, the smooth surface makes cleaning simple and water chemistry easy to maintain.
How long does installation take?
Most fiberglass pools are installed in just two to four weeks.
Compared to the months-long process for concrete construction, fiberglass offers a faster path to a finished backyard. The pre-molded shell arrives ready to install, so once excavation begins, the project moves quickly through plumbing, leveling, and finishing.
Can fiberglass pools handle Gainesville’s sandy soil?
Yes — fiberglass is ideal for Gainesville’s soil composition.
The shells are engineered to flex slightly without cracking, which helps maintain long-term stability even in areas with loose or shifting soil. Proper backfill and professional installation ensure the pool remains level and secure for decades.
What shapes and sizes are available?
Rainforest offers dozens of fiberglass pool models
From small plunge pools perfect for courtyards to large resort-style designs with integrated spas and tanning ledges. Every model is made in the USA and comes in a variety of colors and finishes to match your backyard aesthetic.
Do fiberglass pools fade in the Florida sun?
Our modern gelcoat finishes are UV-resistant and built for Florida’s sun exposure
The surface retains its color and gloss even through years of direct sunlight. Unlike older fiberglass finishes, modern technology keeps your pool looking vibrant without the need for resurfacing or painting.
Can I customize my pool with features like lighting or waterfalls?
Yes — fiberglass pools can be customized with a variety of features.
Homeowners can add LED lighting, deck jets, waterfalls, and perimeter tile to personalize their space. These options can be added during installation or planned for future upgrades.
Do fiberglass pools increase home value?
Yes!
Adding a fiberglass pool is one of the top upgrades for North Central Florida homeowners, boosting resale value and curb appeal..
How long do fiberglass pools last?
A well-installed fiberglass pool can last 40–50 years or more.
The shells are structurally strong and resistant to cracking, corrosion, or staining. Combined with Rainforest’s limited lifetime structural warranty, you get peace of mind for decades of backyard enjoyment.
