    My pool cost $50,000 in 2018.
    It’s 40x30. Came with hot tub jacuzzi and a rock slide, mini pebble, 2 phase. Also included a massive concrete patio. My maintenance cost is $150/month.
    Houston area

    I had a gunite / pebble tech finish pool built, with all the amenities needed to keep my pool efficient in-regards to minimal maintenance. I have a 40' x 35' built with 36 self cleaning heads and due have to say, I think putting those self cleaning heads in was the best decision I made! Final cost was $150k...but living in Az...the pool is used year round with no issues. Like any product on the market - you get what you pay for so due your research 🏊‍♂️👊respect👊🏊‍♀️

    This industry is the biggest ripoff ever. Got mine done for just under 13k and it was not the base model either. Best thing to do is get the workers from the installation company to install it as a personal side job and have them pay u to help. That’s exactly what I did.
    Rough estimate:
    Vinyl pool kit: $4,700
    Labor: $6,500
    Supplies (including concrete) $3,200
    Construction time from start to finish roughly 18 days because once again the guys hand other jobs to finish but it was well worth the wait. You’re Welcome 😎...

      Albert Ledsma and D.J.Streetsweepa...As for fiberglass pools that crack...we have experienced this from other brands unfortunately. This is one of the reasons we decided to begin manufacturing ourselves...in essence we wanted to produce the pool shell we've always wanted to install. We are a fiberglass pool manufacturer which had years of installation experience BEFORE we began making pools. We design them specifically to be long lasting fun for families, and to provide fast and efficient installation by the installer. We also back them up with a structural warranty and a surface warranty. I'll close with this...if you're happy with the pool currently in your backyard, then all is good! Enjoy the summer with family and friends.

    I wish you make a video showing several different finished projects (pool size, location, time, etc) and provide the cost. Saying a base cost is anywhere from 20 to 45 thousand is not very useful. Imagine planning to buy a "base" Honda Civic and a dealer tells you "it depends" or anywhere from 20 to 45 thousand.

    • @RiverPools
      @RiverPools  4 роки тому +3

      Hi again Jamie! We hear ya! However, the car analogy doesn't quite work in this situation. A better analogy would be building a home. The "it depends" takes into account all the decisions during the design/build process of a home...each of which will have an impact on the final cost. I.E. A house at 2,000 sq ft has a starting price of $___. But the final price depends on flooring material choice, cabinet style, tile vs other for showers, paint vs wallpaper, etc., etc., etc. Hopefully that helps better explain the "it depends"....As for the lack of examples...YOU'RE RIGHT! LOL. We were very early in building our youtube channel at that point and simply didn't have much footage to work with. Our main focus was to create videos explaining as much as we could to help educate homeowners as best we could. Thanks again for watching!

    Video was too long and vague. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix my self a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm really a shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I can introduce my self. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she has a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I want the best for her and I harbor no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seems happy with her boyfriend, so I did not bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it, I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already when I first saw her. Besides, I am quiet happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wants to live some other life without me in it, so I said, okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness. My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally can't take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get my self a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video. She said, you know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer. So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.

    There should be a guide somewhere that can break it down like: Pool size, square ft for pavers, concrete, historical cost of materials in your area...blah blah blah. its tedious but it can definitely be done. When you schedule an estimate, all that person is doing is sizing up your place and giving you figures based on what he has observed and the numbers he has on his database.
    Some kid with basic coding skills is gonna do this one day, its an easy algorithm, but for now scheduling a one on one with a pool company is just a foot in the door technique and its not gonna change.

      You have to rip out the old pool and the patio around it pay for the pool and broken up patio to be disposed of then reexcavate and back fill replumb the pool and bring it up to the new pool code put a new patio in . So if the new pool cost say 40k for a virgin yard add 5 to 10k for the removal of the old one and probably have to reapply for a pool permit . It's expensive that's why alot of people just fill in a broken pool instead of fixing or digging out and replacing a pool .

      Florida and other places where it's warm year round has different commodity/demand statistics is all he's saying. It's like buying a convertible in warm weather v winter or in this example in Florida or driving north when it's cold in order to score a noticeable price difference. Florida on the other hand has the extra expenses of the shelter... so it's all relative and each type/material and lot carry individual challenges to be considered. I've had two friends in different areas of Maryland (one fiberglass the other highest tier hand crafted) and both popped up repeatedly. But once those issues were figured out, they have had no other issues and are their favorite "room" of the houses. *Maryland however uses aerial imagery to tax property higher that has more hardscape and less green/grass space.

      In Loudoun va if you use the elephant cover, do you need same fence? Our neighbors on one side have a fence and we are looking to add pool to that side of yard for aesthetic reasons. But, I'm also curious if their fence (friends of ours and new addition to their yard) can be used in conjunction with our design to avoid "competitive" design? We aren't interested in adding a fence to the perimeter of our lot.

    Why are pool companies completely ripping people off with pool price now. Just two years ago you could build a nice small 10-12k gallon pool with jacuzzi, patio and lanai for 50-60k.. now just to even talk with a pool place it’s basic pool starting cost is 60-70k with nothing else. Concrete hasn’t changed that drastically. I know people are going to comment oh that was two years ago.. I could understand if it’s been 10-15 years cost would be way different. Florida location

    How do I estimate how many cubic yards of concrete I need for a swimming pool? I understand how to convert square feet to cubic yards but I am confused with the math behind the construction of a swimming pool. If someone could provide me with the formula. That would help me a lot.
    Another way I ask my question is as follows. For example, a pool is 45 feet in length, 15 feet in width and the concrete is 0.6 inches in depth. The pool’s shallow end is 4 feet, and the deep end gradually declines to 12 feet deep. (Ignore the steps and possible ledges in the pool, i got that figured out).
    Thank you to anyone that responds.

      Hi 90daystochange! There really isn't a guide for that specifically. Often the pool size is determined by owner preference, landscape design and setbacks (which vary by locale). Here's an article we have that helps folks decide what size pool they should have installed. bit.ly/2AVW2Rk

      most of that is the concrete, and the cost of the pool itself.! And labor/equipment is a lot tbh. Theres 6 guys working at least a week if theyre good from start to finish usually, so 40 hours x 6 men equals 240 man hours, nd at $18.50 an hour then thats $4440............ plus the heavy equipment and fuel for them and the truck to get it there to build it! I got a quote on a 12x24 and it was $23k..........just the pool shell was $8900 and then labor and fuel/equipment/concrete stuff is EASILY $11k for them. So theyre doing it for 3k profit AT MOST

  • @dphotos007
    @dphotos007 4 роки тому

    Not true. Take your figure times by three or four here in Southern California. Same price for off season. I am taking about concrete pools. A simple medium size pool is about $100,000 here. Had five contractors come out to give me an estimate and they all were $95,000 to 110,000 and that was only for a six foot deep pool, pump, stone around the pool and coping. Patio and landscaping was extra. Most pools here are concrete. Salt water system is a bit more expensive. You also have to have a 5 foot outward self locking gates and the whole backyard has to have a 6 foot fence surrounding the whole yard. A pool has a ton of code requirements dealing with the plumbing and electric and child safety even if you have no children or your neighbors have no kids.. I was shocked on the price. I was figuring around $50,000 to 60,000 for a pool.
