Winterizing a pool

Autumn Pool Care

The cost of building a pool varies on several factors, including the type of pool, size, location, materials, water features, and labor and construction costs. According to many reports, over 60% of new swimming pools are gunite while fiberglass and vinyl are below 15% and 30%. Stallion Pools and Landscape only builds inground pools in the Greater North Austin areas. Below is a break down of pool types. Inground Pools (average base price - $75,000): These cost more because they are built with higher quality construction materials which makes for a more durable long term project. They are also flexible on designs because of all the options are "custom" and readily available. Cost can range from $75,000 or more, depending on a multitude of factors including the size, shape, and materials/features. Concrete pools add by far the most value to a homes resale far above other types of pools. Fiberglass Pools (average base price - $50,000): These pools are pre made and are installed in the ground. They can cost $50,000 or more, depending on size, materials, and features. They come in very limited shapes, which eliminate the ability to customize them to your preferences. These pools are far less durable long term compared to a gunite/inground pool. Vinyl Liner Pools (average base price - $40,000): Constructed with a vinyl liner over a frame, the upfront affordability may be attractive, but take into consideration the potential ongoing costs down the road. For example, it's possible the liner may need replacement every 5-10 years. This adds to long-term costs. They are also susceptible to tearing, staining, and to algae growth We would like to note, that these are estimates and actual cost can vary significantly up or down. Another big consideration is the warranty offered by installers of these various pool types. Additional cost factors include: Pool Size: Larger pools will cost more than smaller pools due to the increase in construction materials. Pool Features: Water features like waterfalls, slides, bubblers, lighting, heating systems, and automation will absolutely increase the cost. Site Preparation: access and slope to the site as well as rock, soil and major grading can impact the cost. Location: Local building codes, permits, and labor costs widely from one city to another. Landscaping: The area around the pool might need landscaping, which can add to the overall cost. Find a builder that can offer you a turnkey project. Business Rating: The pool builder's reputation and experience can vastly vary the cost. Cheaper options are not the best quality. Check for signs of wall thickness, steel thickness and spacing, engineering, and lastly ratings on google. Make sure to the company is rated high with descriptive reviews to protect yourself on your investment.
