How Much Does a Pool Cost?
Let’s break it down—honestly and clearly.
You're in Control of the Cost — Not Just Us
We get this question all the time: “How much does a pool cost?” And the honest answer is—it depends.
At Premier 1 Pool & Patio, we don’t believe in vague estimates or hidden fees. We walk you through every decision so you can understand exactly what your pool will cost and why. In fact, most of the total cost is based on the choices you make—about size, shape, features, finishes, and even timing.
We’ve created this page to help you make confident, informed decisions about your budget, your investment, and your dream backyard.
Four Main Factors That Impact Pool Cost
1. Design & Size
This is where it all starts. A small rectangular pool costs less than a large custom-shaped pool with a spa and tanning ledge. The layout, depth, and shape affect excavation, materials, and installation time.
2. Materials & Features
Gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl each come with different installation processes and price ranges. Add-ons like fire bowls, slides, spas, automation, and decorative concrete can elevate your pool—and its price.
3. Site Conditions
Soil type, slope, drainage, and access for equipment all play a role. We evaluate every yard to give you an accurate quote with no surprises later.
4. Timing & Permits
Prices for materials, labor, and permits can fluctuate. Planning in advance and working with a builder who handles the permitting process (like us) can save you time and frustration.
No Lowball Quotes. No Surprise Costs.
Some builders advertise an “all-in” pool for a suspiciously low price—but fail to mention what’s not included: electric, hardscaping, water features, or proper drainage. At Premier 1, we believe clarity builds trust. Our proposals are detailed and transparent—no tricks, no fine print.
You Can Influence the Final Cost
We’ll help you explore smart ways to keep your project on budget while still getting a beautiful, durable pool:
- Choose efficient shapes and sizes
- Phase features over time
- Select cost-effective materials for coping and decking
- Finance your project over 5, 10, or 20 years
- Use 3D designs to preview before you commit
Price Isn’t Everything. Value Is.
We’re not the cheapest—and we’re proud of that. Because your pool isn’t a temporary purchase. It’s something your family will enjoy for decades. Our attention to detail, the quality of our tradespeople, and our exclusive Home Run Advantage™ piping system all protect your investment long-term.
