Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install a pool?
In 2025, above-ground pools run about $1,500–$6,000 installed, inground vinyl-liner pools $25,000–$45,000, inground fiberglass $30,000–$60,000, and inground concrete/gunite $50,000–$110,000+. Larger pools and premium finishes push costs higher.
Which inground pool type is cheapest?
Vinyl-liner inground pools are the least expensive to install, but the liner needs replacing every 7–12 years. Fiberglass installs fast with low maintenance, while concrete/gunite is the most customizable and durable but the priciest.
What costs are not included in the base pool price?
Base estimates cover the shell, excavation, and basic equipment. Decking, fencing (often legally required), landscaping, heaters ($2,500–$5,000), and automation ($2,000–$5,000) are extra and can add 30–50% to the project.
What are the ongoing costs of owning a pool?
Beyond installation, expect about $1,200–$3,000+ per year for chemicals, electricity, water, and maintenance, plus periodic costs like vinyl liner replacement or resurfacing for concrete pools.
