Build new or remodel existing pool

Back in 2001 a local news channel did a story on shopping for swimming pools. Regardless of advertised price, when companies were compared apples to apples prices were about the same: in the mid-thirties. Four years later the price for a pool/spa combination is around forty thousand. We have broken it down for you. Remember this is an average size pool, around 90' perimeter, average equipped.

Am I Getting a Good Price?

If the price on your remodeling bid for like items is around the same as the breakdown prices, you received a good price. If the price on your remodeling bid for like items is less than the breakdown prices, you received a fantastic deal.

Because remodeling also requires tear-out and preparation, if your bid comes in much lower than break-down prices, "buyer beware." Quality is definitely being sacrificed. In our experience, a poor job costs more than a quality job done right the first time.

Bottom Line

Ask your realtor how much a swimming pool adds to the value of a home. We are told around $10,000 to $15,00 "base cost." Most of our pool remodels are under $20,000 and average about $15,000. Add the "Base Cost" to the remodeling cost and you can save as much as $15,000 on the purchase of a pre-existing swimming pool. Is it better to buy and remodel? Only if you like saving money.
