Question 1 of 138%

Where

Where's the pool going?

Street, city and ZIP. It sets permit and labor costs for your area.

What's in your price

Your pool, start to swim.

Here's what your number covers, what it doesn't, and why it's a range.

Pick a size to see the pool price.

What's not in this number

  • Anything you did not pick: deck, hot tub, screen enclosure, heater, salt system, app control, sheer waterfall, deck jets, bubblers, and extra lights.
  • Landscaping. Plants, beds, and a finished yard are not included.
  • Irrigation repair. Fixing the lines the dig crosses is not included.
  • Sod replacement. New grass where the yard was torn up is not included.
  • Water to fill the pool. The water bill is yours.
  • Gas lines. A gas run to the heater is a separate job.
  • Hidden large boulders, old concrete, or other debris under the yard. That is priced after the walk-through.
  • Access work, such as taking out a tree or moving something so the truck can get in.
  • HOA fees, if your community charges them.

Why it's a range

The low side is about 10% under. The high side is about 5% over. Access for the concrete truck, the water table, and the exact deck all move it. The range tightens to one price after a builder sees the yard.

Compare line by line

Ask any builder, "What is not included?" Then check their bid for haul-off, permits, engineering, the equipment circuit, plaster, waterline tile, coping, and startup. Those are in this number.

Is this a real price?

It is a planning range from the steps above. The firm price is in writing after the free visit.

Do I need a screen?

No. It is optional. If you add one, it includes insect screen, a 7 inch super gutter, two doors, and door alarms.

What about a canal or high water?

Hydrostatic relief is in every pool. A canal or lake also includes a small excavator. The lot is checked on the walk-through.

Why a range instead of one number?

The yard has not been seen yet. The range is the room for access, water, and the deck. One firm price comes after the visit.
