A DIY pool project is cheaper than hiring a pool contractor. Even so, DIY pool projects are not safe for you and your family if you don’t have the background knowledge and expertise. So, hiring a pool building company is a good alternative. Many factors contribute to the cost of employing someone to install a pool. But what is the average cost of installing a pool through a contractor?

How Much Does It Cost To Have Someone Install a Pool?
How much does it cost to have someone install a pool? Hiring a pool building company is a good alternative. Many factors contribute to the cost of employing someone to install a pool.

The installation costs of above-ground pools #

In this present age and time, there are two main pools, above ground and inground pools. Above ground, pools are generally inexpensive than inground pools. They can be as cheap as 1,000 dollars and as expensive as 3,600 dollars. So, if your budget is super tight, consider installing an above ground pool for your kids.

Installing an inground pool #

There are various types of inground pools. They have massive differences in prices due to their distinct installation procedures. Also, the materials used to construct them are different. For example, pools made with fiberglass are generally more expensive than vinyl liner pools. However, the typical estimated costs of inground pools lie within a range of $40,000 to $150,000 or more.

Installing a vinyl liner pool #

Vinyl liner pools are popular among most homeowners today due to their affordability. They incorporate a vinyl liner installation during construction. But these pools have high maintenance costs due to the frequent wear and tear of the liner. Thus pool owners have to replace a vinyl pool liner every five to ten years. When you ave someone install a pool for you, you will end up paying about $4,000 or less for vinyl liner pools.

The price of fiberglass pools #

Fiberglass pools are less expensive than concrete pools. They incorporate fewer maintenance procedures, thus incur low costs in the long run. Fiberglass materials can curve into almost any shape. Even so, concrete pools have more versatility compared to fiberglass pools. With fiberglass pools, you may end up spending about $60,000 or more if you hire someone to install the pool. Also, in the long run, you end up saving more than 50% of maintenance costs.

Gunite and shotcrete pools #

Concrete pools come in two forms gunite and shotcrete. Pool contractors manufacture these pools from a mixture of sand, cement, and water. The building costs for concrete pools are approximately $100,000 or more. It depends on the layout, size, and finishing material for the pool.

Maintenance procedures for concrete pools also incur massive costs. Over time, gunite pool surfaces become rough and may need resurfacing or replastering. Also, gunite pools use more pool chemicals, thus have high maintenance costs.

Summary #

When you have someone install a pool for you, you’ll spend more than doing a DIY pool project. However, if you don’t have background knowledge of pool construction, you would rather have someone install a pool for you.
