How to determine the cost of a pool build.
The cost of designing and building a swimming pool can vary significantly based on several key factors. Our dedicated Presidential Pools & Spas team works with you to create a design with features that suit both your dreams and your budget. Below are some of the main elements that can influence the final cost of your pool:
- Type and Size of the Pool: Whether you choose an in-ground or above-ground pool can greatly affect the cost. In-ground pools typically cost more due to excavation and a more involved build. Larger pools require more materials and labor, increasing the overall price.
- Material Used: The choice of material can also influence the cost. For example, vinyl is typically the most inexpensive option, followed by fiberglass and concrete. Concrete is the most expensive material due to its durability and adaptability to design.
- Location: The location and accessibility of your backyard can affect the cost. If it’s difficult to access, it could increase your overall labor costs. The type of soil, slope of the yard, and the local climate can also affect installation costs. We always consider your budget when designing your custom pool and spa.
- Custom Features: Adding features such as waterfalls, slides, diving boards, hot tubs, or complex lighting can increase the overall cost. Similarly, choosing a saltwater system instead of chlorine, or opting for an automated cleaning system, will also affect the overall price of a new build or a remodel.
- Landscaping and Decking: Surrounding pool elements such as patios, decks, fencing, and landscaping are typically not included in the base price of the pool and can significantly increase your project’s overall cost. We will offer the best options for your needs while keeping your budget in mind.
- Ongoing Maintenance: While pool services and maintenance is not part of the installation cost, it’s important to factor it into in the ongoing cost of your pool and spa oasis. Your costs includes cleaning, chemical adjustments, potential repairs, and winterization.
