I'm willing to pay a little bit more or equal to a gunite pool as I like the ease of maintenance FG has over guninte. Also the time frame for the installation of a FG pool is really appealing.

My pool was supposed to be finished last june. I still haven't passed final inspection. My contractor did good work and had excellent references but something happened (drugs?, gambling?) and my pool and about 10 others were really botched up. He is the only fiberglass installer in my area. He was a San Juan dealer but they have recently dropped him. He just picked up Viking pools but he cannot pull any more permits until he fixes the jobs he's messed up. Just check out whoever you get very thoughly! (and yes, my builder is state licensed!) I am still waiting for him to come out and fix the things I talked about in the above thread and I posted that about a month ago!
