Question 1

How much does it cost to build a new pool?

Accepted Answer

Construction of a new pool, or a new pool with a spa, requires the right amount of preparation. The design process will help you determine the size of pool/spa that you need, as well as what sort of tile, coping, pebble finish, deck, cage, and additional water or fire features you’re looking for.

Size and selections are the two biggest factors to consider in the cost of your pool. How big is it, and what level of tile, coping, pebble, and decking material would you like to see?

Often, pool contractors will provide you with a price that is low—intentionally low—but does not consider all the required elements or factor in your selections.
