Gunite Pool Pricing

The region of the U.S. matters a great deal as well.

A significant influence on the average cost of custom pools comes down to where you live.

The reality is that you could have a difference of thousands of dollars on the same swimming pool in different parts of the country.

For example, the identical, basic 15 x 30-foot pool and its features may have a starting base price of $50,000 in Phoenix or Tampa—and $80,000 in Chicago or Boston.

Now, say this same 15 x 30-foot pool is being built in a backyard with challenging conditions, such as a major slope. The extra labor needed could drive up the Raleigh or Boston price tag by $6,000 to $12,000—or even more in certain cases.

Add a heated gunite spa, app-enabled remote-control automation, and that might be another $20,000 in Chicago or Boston—but thousands less in other markets.

Elevate that same spa 18 inches above the pool, and add decorative stacked-stone facing to it, and the tally could rise to more than $6,000 or $7,000 in Chicago or Boston. Upgrade the spa to a stunning rim flow design, and this sleek configuration requires another $2,500.

Again, prices will vary greatly by local market and an array of other variables. These example additions do not even take into consideration the spa’s size, lighting type, tile selection, or number of hydrotherapy jets. And these are options just for the spa! From tanning ledges to natural rock waterfalls, a multitude of other features and material choices for the pool itself are available. That’s why it’s critical to obtain pricing and an in-home estimate where you live.

To learn more about how much an inground pool costs in your area, contact your local Blue Haven office.

The local team has current pool pricing information specific to your locale, and they will work to design a backyard retreat that aligns with your spending plans.

Since the cost of an inground pool varies based on many factors, you’ll need a personalized consultation to receive a solid bid.

To do so, a Blue Haven designer will develop a detailed pool plan for your and provide a written pool quote. This estimate will avoid the hidden fees that some pool builders unload on their customers.

Blue Haven offices also believe in providing you with real value for your money. You will have the advantage of ongoing savings on pool ownership: Blue Haven SmartFeatures® last longer, automate care, reduce chemicals, and lower water and energy bills.

For years to come, these advanced technology options will make operating your aquatic playground more convenient, affordable, and enjoyable.

Since Blue Haven offices build custom inground pools in dozens of markets across America, it is not possible to give pool quotes via phone or email.

Yes, this includes estimates for pools pictured on this website, for pools commonly referred to as “basic pools,” and even in cases where a homeowner provides their desired pool dimensions.

Here’s why: Unlike a factory-manufactured product—which makes for simpler comparison shopping of pool prices—a concrete pool (gunite or shotcrete) is a multiphase construction project with multiple variables ranging from a backyard’s elevation to equipment options.

As a result, professional, reliable pool pricing requires a thorough evaluation process.

Asking “how much does an inground pool cost?” is like asking “how much does it cost to build a new home?”
Before offering a genuine bid, it is critical for any pool builder to learn the features and elements you want for your pool and to account for the numerous local construction variables.

For this reason, giving out “guesstimates” would be a disservice; Blue Haven offices believe in providing reliable pricing information for your market. You should also be wary of choosing a pool builder merely for the sake of the lowest price.

So, stop wondering what a backyard pool will cost, and call your local office today!
