Swimming Pool Costs

Swimming pool costs vary depending on the size of pool you want installed, the material used, the complexity of design, the area you live in, and whether or not it is an aboveground pool or an inground swimming pool. The following cost estimates are only that, estimates, so make sure you talk to contractors in your area for more information. Also, local friends and relatives who have had a pool installed may be good resources, both for getting accurate cost estimates and for finding a good contractor.

In-Ground Swimming Pool Costs:

Concrete/Gunite: $17,000-$45,000

Fiberglass Shell: $15,000-$25,000

Vinyl: $7,000-$16,000

Aboveground Swimming Pool Costs: $1500-$5,000

Concrete/Gunite pools offer the greatest variety in swimming pool design (basically, anything you think of you can do), whereas aboveground swimming pools are the most cost-effective. They are also portable and can be installed in hours.
