Can I build a pool for less than the calculator shows?
The calculator shows realistic market pricing for quality construction. Very low prices usually mean corners are being cut on materials, equipment, or construction quality. We recommend being cautious of quotes that seem too good to be true.
When is the best time to build a pool?
Fall and winter are ideal for pool construction in the Southeast. You’ll avoid the summer heat, and the pool will be ready for next swimming season. We build year-round in most of our markets.
How long does pool construction take?
Most pool projects take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on the pool type.
- Gunite: 10 to 14 weeks
- Fiberglass: 2 to 3 weeks
- Vinyl liner: 4 to 6 weeks
Timelines vary based on permits, weather, and site conditions. Add a 2 to 4 week buffer when planning your project.
What’s not included in these estimates?
Permits, fencing, landscaping restoration, and utility relocation aren’t included. Those costs can vary quite a bit by property, but we will walk you through everything upfront so there aren’t any surprises later.
