What Tiger Pool & Patio does

Tiger Pool & Patio is a family-owned inground pool construction company founded in 1981 and headquartered in Liberty, Missouri, serving the Greater Kansas City metro. The company builds two core pool types — prefabricated fiberglass pools sourced from third-party manufacturers (San Juan Pools, Thursday Pools, Imagine Pools, Liberty Pools) and custom vinyl liner pools constructed with concrete walls as the standard structural base (positioned as a gunite-equivalent structure at vinyl liner pricing). It also markets a proprietary line of compact vinyl liner pools called Persunal Plunge Pools, and offers complementary outdoor living construction including outdoor kitchens, spas, water features, fire pits, and patios.

The business is in its third generation of family ownership following the 2020 transition from founder Richard Stanhope to Jennifer and Mike Shreckengost. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project fees (vinyl liner packages starting around $60,000, fiberglass packages starting around $70,000), supplemented by recurring pool service contracts (seasonal openings/closings, weekly maintenance). The company operates a sales-led, direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion featuring a VIP Client Experience with 3D renderings, milestone mapping, weekly updates, and a customer portal app. Project financing is facilitated through a partnership with HFS Home Improvement Loans, and automatic safety covers are offered via Cover Pools. Geographic reach is confined to the Greater Kansas City market, with no disclosed expansion plans beyond this single metro.
