Sunshine Pools is a certified dealer for both Leisure Pools and Latham Pools – two of the industry’s most respected manufacturers. You compare the best, choose the right fit, and we handle the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions - Fiberglass Pool Installation in Hermiston, OR
How long does fiberglass pool installation take in Hermiston?
Most fiberglass pool installations in the Hermiston area are complete within two to four weeks from the start of excavation. Unlike concrete pools, which cure over months, fiberglass shells arrive pre-manufactured and are typically set, plumbed, and water-ready in a fraction of the time. Add two to four weeks for permitting prior to breaking ground, and most homeowners are swimming within six to eight weeks of signing their contract.
Do I need a permit to install a pool in Hermiston, OR?
Yes. Inground pool installations in Hermiston require a building permit from the City of Hermiston and must comply with Oregon Residential Specialty Code. Sunshine Pools manages the complete permitting process on your behalf – submittal, required inspections, and final sign-off – so you don’t have to navigate it yourself.
Why fiberglass over concrete or vinyl liner?
Fiberglass pools offer three distinct advantages over other pool types. First, the non-porous gelcoat surface naturally inhibits algae growth, dramatically reducing chemical costs and cleaning time. Second, installation is significantly faster – weeks, not months. Third, the flexible shell is engineered to move with ground shifts, making it highly durable in Eastern Oregon’s soil and climate conditions. Sunshine Pools installs pools from Leisure Pools and Latham Pools, both of which include lifetime structural warranties with their products.
What pool manufacturers does Sunshine Pools work with?
Sunshine Pools is a certified installer for both Leisure Pools and Latham Pools – two of the most respected fiberglass pool manufacturers in North America. Leisure Pools builds with their patented Composite Armour™ technology, incorporating DuPont™ Kevlar® and Carbon Fiber into the shell. Latham uses Advanced Composite Technology with a 7-layer construction process and their exclusive Crystite® Gel Coat finish. Access to both manufacturers means you compare the best options available rather than being limited to a single product line.
What warranty do I get with my fiberglass pool?
Both manufacturers provide industry-leading warranty coverage. Leisure Pools offers a lifetime warranty against structural defects and osmosis – with a minimum guarantee of 35 years – plus a 10-year warranty on surface color. Latham Pools provides a lifetime warranty against structural leaking and a lifetime warranty against osmotic blistering. Warranty terms are subject to proper installation and maintenance conditions, which Sunshine Pools ensures through professional, certified installation.
Can I finance my pool project?
Yes. Through our partnership with Viking Capital, Sunshine Pools offers home improvement financing with a free consultation and an application process designed not to impact your credit score. Flexible loan options make pool ownership more accessible than most homeowners expect. Contact us during your free quote consultation to discuss financing alongside your pool options.
Does Sunshine Pools serve the Hermiston area?
Yes. Sunshine Pools serves Hermiston, OR and the broader Umatilla Basin, including Umatilla, Stanfield, Boardman, and Pendleton, as well as the Washington Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, and West Richland) and Walla Walla. We are licensed to operate in both Oregon and Washington. Call us at (509) 571-2936 to confirm availability for your specific location.
