In Ground Fiberglass Pool Prices

By Teri Farley


You are considered having some kind of pool installed in your backyard. You've been looking around at the many different types there are to pick from. The above ground pools are far too small. Inflatable pools are cheaply constructed and bust easily. You have decided to go with the in ground fiberglass style. Fiberglass pool prices appear to be the better deal, compared to choosing vinyl lining or concrete.

Fiberglass pools are among the highest quality options you can choose. They can be customized to fit into any sizes yard, even when the overall layout is a unique shape and the pool won't fit if it is square or rectangular. These things, however, do have an affect on the total cost of such a project.

This is one of the most appealing factors about fiberglass pools. Even a small yard with a unique shape can be fitted with an in ground style. It may not be a large pool, but it can be made to any depth the home owner might want. For those who really want a place to swim on their property, this is a better option than setting up an above ground variety that risks collapsing at any given time.

You should approach any contractor with at least a rough estimation of the cost of such a project. This will prevent any quick decisions about the first offer you might be given. After review, the contractor will be able to prove an accurate total cost for such a project. However, you still want to avoid being overcharged.

While speaking with a contractor, take the time to speak with several. Often, some great pricing will be offered because they are competing for your business. Let it be known from the beginning that you are requesting prices from many contractors in the area.

Once you have found the best pricing, you should probably attempt to find some reviews of that specific contractors work. A great deal might not be worth it in the end if the person you hire doesn't produce quality work. Sadly, there are scam artists out there that will take your money and then cut costs on the whole project to net themselves a higher profit. What you are left with is a poorly installed product and out a lot of money.

The fiberglass shell will be the most expensive aspect of the entire project. The small shells range in price from about $10,000 to $12,000. Slightly bigger options are usually about $13,000 to $14,000. The biggest shells can run upwards of $15,000 to $20,000.

These are only average prices, obviously. This is also doesn't include the cost of installation and any extras you might plan to add. Fiberglass pool prices can vary greatly, depending on the exact size, shape and features being installed. The do, however, increase property value and make property easier to sell if it is put on the market.

  1. These tips to much helpful for party hope I am post for my friend. What are you going to do drop a truck in the pool. Just kiding. Any way, Gunite can and will crack and a real pain to repair. The glass pool is very easy to maintain. I had to make the choice and what made the diferance for me was not only cost but the lack of maintenance on the long term. The glass is very easy on chemicals and keeping it clean is a breese. Draw back is of course is limited shapes, really what ever turns your crank.
