The cost for a new swimming pool installation is something that it is very difficult to get generic pricing information about. Firstly there are many different kinds of swimming pools from above ground vinyl liner all the way up to inground concrete pools. So the first thing you need to do is determine what kind of pool you are interested to know pricing for. Next you need to understand that there are massive regional variances in pricing for pool services including the costs for a new pool installation. A pool that might cost $60,000 in one area might cost $120,000 in another area for essentially the exact same pool. So at some point you will have to endeavor to get quotes from multiple local pool installation contractors to get an idea what the pricing is like in your area.
Next when it comes to pricing you need to create an "apples to apples" comparison which is actually fairly difficult to do with swimming pools. Rarely will you find two competing bids for pool installations where they are actually building you the same pool. The filtration equipment is a good example of this. Another seemingly small example would be the valves used for your pool installation...but on a fancy pool installation you could easily have two dozen valves and the difference between the good valves and the bad valves might literally be thousands of dollars in price! By the time you finish building the entire pool there could be dozens of material differences in the quality and number of products used to build the pool. Cost of living in your area, cost of real estate and also the availability of skilled labor in your area will all affect the pricing of any potential new pool installation.
Listen to the video above to hear Steve talk about specific numbers (costs) for pool installations for above ground pools, onground pools, inground vinyl liner pools, inground fiberglass pools and of course inground concrete pools (gunite, shotcrete, cast, ICF). While it would be difficult to give exact numbers for your unique situation this should give you an idea what the current market prices are like for new pool installations.
