Sunshine Pools is a certified installer for both Leisure Pools and Latham Pools – giving you access to two of the world’s leading fiberglass pool manufacturers in one place. We compare options across both catalogs to guide you to the pool that genuinely fits your home, not just what one company happens to sell.
We act as your pool consultant first, installer second. Our team takes the time to understand your backyard, your lifestyle, and your budget before making any recommendation. Richland homeowners get unbiased advice backed by deep product knowledge – and the confidence that comes with it.
Every fiberglass pool we install is backed by a lifetime structural warranty from the manufacturer. Leisure Pools provides a lifetime warranty against structural defects and osmosis (minimum 35 years), and Latham Pools offers a lifetime warranty against leaking due to structural failure. When you invest in a Sunshine Pools installation, your pool is protected for life.
From 100°F+ Richland summers to hard winter freezes, our fiberglass pool shells are engineered to flex and perform in the Tri-Cities’ extreme temperature range. Reinforced composite construction, UV-resistant gelcoat finishes, and earthquake-resilient ribbing mean your pool handles every season without compromise.

Howard Amon Park – Beloved Columbia River park and Richland’s hub for summer events. Bring the riverside feeling home.
Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve – 8+ miles of trails with panoramic Tri-Cities views, loved by active Richland families. Active families deserve a pool to come home to.

With 90°F+ summers and 196 sunny days a year, Richland homeowners don’t just visit outdoor attractions – they create their own.
Richland's Pool-Perfect Climate
Richland’s semi-arid continental climate makes an exceptionally strong case for fiberglass pool ownership. Summers regularly reach 90–100°F with average July highs of 90.1°F and near-zero rainfall from June through August. A non-porous fiberglass pool shell is ideal for this climate – algae-resistant gelcoat surfaces stay cleaner with fewer chemicals, and the smooth finish holds heat efficiently for Richland’s long, dry swim season.

Frequently Asked Questions: Custom Pool Builder Richland WA
How much does a fiberglass pool cost in Richland, WA?
A premium fiberglass pool installation in Richland typically ranges from $50,000 to $100,000+, depending on pool size, model, features, and site conditions. Fiberglass pools are generally more affordable over the long term than concrete alternatives due to significantly lower chemical and maintenance costs. Sunshine Pools provides detailed, itemised quotes at no cost – contact us for a free estimate specific to your property.
Why fiberglass instead of concrete or vinyl for a Richland pool?
Fiberglass pools are the ideal choice for Richland’s climate. The non-porous gelcoat surface naturally inhibits algae growth, reducing chemical demand by up to 70% compared to concrete pools. Installation is significantly faster – typically 2–4 weeks from delivery to swim-ready – and the composite shell flexes with ground movement, making it resilient in Eastern Washington’s temperature extremes. With lifetime structural warranties from our manufacturer partners, fiberglass is the premium long-term investment.
What pool manufacturers does Sunshine Pools work with?
Sunshine Pools is a certified installer for both Leisure Pools and Latham Pools – two of the world’s leading fiberglass pool manufacturers. This gives Richland homeowners access to a broader range of designs, technologies, and finishes than a single-brand installer can offer. We provide unbiased guidance to help you select the pool that best fits your backyard and lifestyle.
What warranties come with a Sunshine Pools installation?
Every fiberglass pool we install is backed by industry-leading manufacturer warranties. Leisure Pools provides a lifetime warranty against structural defects and osmosis (minimum 35 years) and a 10-year surface warranty. Latham Pools offers a lifetime warranty against leaking due to structural failure and a lifetime warranty against osmotic blistering. These are among the strongest warranties in the fiberglass pool industry.
How long does fiberglass pool installation take in Richland?
Most fiberglass pool installations in Richland are complete within 2–6 weeks from excavation to swim-ready, weather permitting. The fiberglass shell is manufactured off-site and arrives ready to install, making it substantially faster than concrete construction. We recommend beginning your project planning in fall or winter to ensure your pool is ready for Richland’s summer season.
Do I need a permit to build a pool in Richland, WA?
Yes – inground fiberglass pool installations in Richland require a building permit from the City of Richland. Sunshine Pools manages the complete permitting process on your behalf, including compliance with Benton County regulations and Washington State building codes. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on the excitement of your new pool.
Do you offer pool financing in Richland?
Yes. Through our partnership with Viking Capital, Sunshine Pools offers flexible pool financing options including home improvement loans for qualified applicants. The consultation is free and the application process is designed not to impact your credit score. Ask us about financing when you request your free custom quote.
