What affects your pool cost.
Larger pools need more concrete, rebar, and finish material. Freeform shapes cost more than geometric.
High water table, rock, tight access, or significant grade changes increase excavation costs.
Pebble Sheen is our standard (lifetime warranty). PebbleTec has a coarser texture at a similar price point.
Sun shelves, spas, water features, fire bowls, and lighting packages add to the base price.
Basic concrete is least expensive. Pavers and travertine add $10-30 per square foot.
Screen enclosures add $8,000-$25,000 depending on size and style. Essential in Florida.
Hillsborough County typically has higher permit fees than Pasco. Pinellas varies by municipality.
