How Much Do Add-On Features Add to Pool Cost?

When you’re looking into an inground fiberglass pool, pool cost is often one of the first considerations. While resources like pool cost calculators can provide base package pricing, they might not account for add-on features—both essential and non-essential—that can significantly impact your budget. Think of heaters, lighting, tiling, covers, and more. If your dream pool includes all the bells and whistles, this guide will help you understand how much these features might cost so you can plan and budget wisely. LED Pool Lighting LED lights don’t just brighten your pool; they transform it into a stunning nighttime retreat.

The Hidden Costs of Installing an Inground Pool

Installing an inground pool can transform your backyard into a personal oasis, offering a perfect relaxation, exercise, and entertainment spot. While upfront inground pool costs might seem manageable, there are numerous hidden costs that potential pool owners must consider. Understanding these hidden expenses for inground pools will help you make an informed decision and avoid unexpected financial burdens. Initial Installation Costs The initial installation is the most apparent cost. The process of installing an inground pool includes excavation, pool shell, plumbing, electrical work, and landscaping. The price varies significantly based on the pool type (concrete, vinyl, or fiberglass), size, and additional features like waterfalls or lighting. The installation can range from $25,000 to $120,000 on average, but this is just the beginning. Typically, vinyl inground pools are the cheapest way to build an inground pool when it comes to upfront installation costs. Fiberglass would follow next, and then concrete is typically the most expensive. It’s also important to note that these cost estimations are assuming the pool is installed by a professional pool builder. DIY inground pool costs may be less upfront, but if done incorrectly, it could cost you much more down the line to correct mistakes. Excavation […]
