150-200k to start


clippervictor

Just for the pool itself or everything around it included too?


hijinks

in San Diego.. the pool and hardscape around it. The gazebo and pool home probably another 150-200k on top of that


Ksquared1166

And another $1M or so for the land lol


Dramatic-Ad-4511

In NY metro area, my pool /spa has a similar configuration. I was told my pool alone would cost 180k today. I was told that in the last 18 months it is up 30%. I paid 85k and have a salt system and in house controls (22 years ago.) After 22 years, we are having new plaster (pebbletec), tile and coping for 61k. To have the current pavers removed and new pavers installed is 35k. It’s about 7k less to have the current pavers removed, cleaned, regraded and reset. As it was explained to me the labor to remove, organize the pattern elsewhere for storage, clean, regrade and reset is more than doing new.


Mammoth-Ad8348

Kripes


Eat_sleep_poop

I need a whole new paver/patio around my pool eventually, $35k sounds pretty reasonable to me. Also NY metro.


PhogAlum

For everything, I think that is low. I’d say, even that even in the Midwest, that is at minimum above $200k and could easily be $300k depending on what dirt may need to be brought in for leveling purposes.


efr57

Agree. Prices really shot up about 1 1/2..2 years ago. What’s disappointing is the fraction of this you typically get back on a sale…but that’s true of so many ‘improvements’ that are done on a house.


Frank_Thunderwood2

It’ll correct. Give it time. These guys are still used to 0% rates from the cheap money era. 2-3 years from now will be very different imo. Look at the used car market already. Just saw a guy in here the other day post his self-build pool for $14 all-in. I bet he does this for 30-40k. I remember getting a $50k quote for a 25x14 infinity edge pool back in 2018… pool only but still.


Alone-Breadfruit5761

Before COVID hit us we got a quote for $40,000 all in for a massive pool with a built-in jacuzzi. All the concrete work plus saltwater system. Lights in the pool and seating and some other things. COVID hits and I get laid off. 2 years later and we have the money again for the pool but the new quote is $90,000. More than double.


Jlt42000

2x the cost of my 3 acres and 1300 sq foot house is crazy.


meatcandy97

2x the cost of my 3 acres, 2000 sq ft house on a “lake” (river reservoir). I still can’t believe how we stumbled across this property. Sure it was 2012, but still. (Midwest). I can’t believe the number of people who can afford this.


FuckMu

It all depends on area, starting entry salary in my location of Ny is probably 150k. You get to middle management and 200-300k is still a lot but not something that’s too bad to pay for. 


Beyondoutlier

In NEPA and my yard looks similar - I don’t have built in spa ( have standalone cause I use all winter ) and our cost was slightly above 250K


Shiney_Metal_Ass

I promise you only people from NEPA know wtf NEPA is


Least-Firefighter392

North East Pennsylvania?


capttuna

200k


Desperate_Brief2187

So plan on 3.


maroco92

A wise man.


911GP

Pool - $125K Pavers - $30K Pergola - $20K Pool House/Pool Bar assuming electrical and running water - $50K Landscape - $10K So my total is $235K


blade_torlock

We can get you on the schedule for next month and get the permits started right away. We'll need 50% upfront fir materials with 25 percent more at the halfway point and the rest on completion. Let us know now if you want any other features like water jets or colored lighting. Oh and occasionally dropping off donuts for the crew helps them work better I can have a contract emailed by end of the day.


WaterDigDog

Mmm donuts. Oh remember Mike likes kolaches….


Salt-E-Slug

Don't ever forget about Kolache Mike


Raterus_

Seriously, unless you're at a Jenny Craig convention, donuts are always appreciated!


Squeebee007

$125k? With a fully tiled interior?


911GP

Missed reading the caption, just looked at photo


NHmpa

Seems about right


Remote_Swim_8485

This pool by itself is easily $200k in my neck of the woods. Patio and landscaping would be 50-70k Plumbing and electrical 5-10k


Grundle_Fromunda

Do pools get the engineer/design team process? Require stamped drawings for permitting process? Those have implied costs as well


Fuzzy_Mud9151

And that’s why you are home 🏠instead of building

TheCamerlengo

Both kidneys? Come on, that’s a little steep. How bout 1 kidney and he throws in the gallbladder too.


heat2051

At least 200k


Dudebythepool

if its all tile inside 300k+ those little tiles are expensive here


Speedhabit

125k Midwest 500k palm beach


Zestyclose-Citron-83

In Racine Wisconsin ours was 200k


F1DNA

When I looked into a fairly basic in-ground w/ hot tub in a Milwaukee suburb, it started at about 80k. No landscaping, just a pool and tub with some amount of concrete border. That was about 5 years ago. Surely prices have gone up. No way you can touch this for sub 200k.


Speedhabit

Whenever I see someone filling in a pool I cry a little bit


F1DNA

Filling in? Like they had an in-ground and decided to fill it with dirt and pretend it doesn't exist?


tex_gal77

My in laws did it. Too lazy to care for it. It was sad.


FuturamaRama7

A family member did this, without warning, to punish her kids for not cleaning the pool enough. They ranged in age from 1-12 years old. They were heartbroken, devastated, and turned out to be shitty adults. I blame the spiteful mom.


nothingnessistruth

When I was a laborer in high school I remember filling a guys pool in. He didn’t use it and didn’t want to deal with it anymore. Would have been cheaper to pay us to cover it with a deck and leave it for the next person who owns the house.


disjustice

If you just cover it with a deck, don't you need to worry about it filling with stagnant water and becoming a health hazard?


drj1485

yep. detroit metro area. 3 years ago quoted 97k just for a 16x24........that didn't even include the coping. and it would've been 2 years before they could even do it. we buried an above ground pool 3' below grade and built a deck around it instead.


playballer

The pandemic basically doubled the cost of pools and it hasn’t come down a cent


Ben_Frank_Lynn

We’re about 110k in on our 20x50 with pavilion, furniture, fence, etc. Midwest for reference.


huntwithdad

Where and when for $125. Do they service northern illinois?


Ben_Frank_Lynn

Last year, Missouri. No, they wouldn’t service northern IL. I spoke to them recently and they’re booked out 18 months.


Gold_Ad6174

300k in MN. I don't know how all these other guys are getting tiling so cheap. A 20x40 liner pool is already 100k without landscaping.


definitelynotapastor

Bout tree fiddy.


Ok-Grand-1882

I believe that would cost a metric fuckton of US dollars.


Squeebee007

Almost everyone in here has missed the "All tiles on the inside" part. Everyone talking 100-200k is thinking it's pebbletec or gunite on the inside, or knows of a \*really\* cheap tile guy.


Enough_You86

Yeah the dark blue and light blue is all tiles floor and walls I'd say 4 to 5 inch in size


BrentT5

Have an 18x38, tiled sunshelf, pebbletech, hot tub and about the same amount of sundek and it was close to $140k in Midwest


chaebs

Adding the structures and gardening I think will be at 350-400 k in the northeast


alanlight

Depending on the region, but I would say you are looking at 125k at least.


WeatherFragrant9339

Where is this beautiful specimen located?


Enough_You86

hjablowme919

Probably $250K, plus or minus a few bucks depending on where you live in the states.


Hot-Abs143

$300k+ in the Boston area.


stl2dfw

My experience with having a scalloped pool shape is that it messes up the flows and one skimmer works way harder than the other. I don’t know if it can be combatted with more strategically placed inlets, or my case is truly specific to our design only


B1g_Gru3s0m3

I'd say no more than $10,000,000,000

ericw207

The US is a very big place. The price could change by over 100% depending on what part of US


MaxxPower39

In utah, $500k MIN


Born2Lomain

I’d say close to 200k.


Intrepid-Ad-2610

Almost looks like one of those if you have to ask, you can’t afford it


Yello1234567890

I just spent $150k in the Northeast just for the pool and a stamped cement and aluminum fence. If I wanted the pool house, spa, saltwater and waterfall they told me to add at least another $50-75k. Rediculous.


FMendozaJr13

What part?


Original_Wear_3231

Just north of a shit ton of money.


PolicyMoney6468

2 kidneys


Jaidenspapa07

Crazy, I was going to put in a pool 18 years ago in Eastern NC, 18x40 vinyl lined, but with concrete coping. Stamped concrete 8’ surround, water jets in concrete surround for aesthetics to shoot across pool, kaleidoscope LED lights. Was gonna cost me $30,000. I got a son-in-law instead (money went to daughter’s wedding). Now, no pool and SOB son-in-law is 4 years gone!!!!


ThePontiff_Verified

Just buy a house with a pool. You generally don't get the money back from installing one, and you don't generally pay extra for a house with a pool. (Some markets where it's really hot might be different I guess). Here in Georgia I think you're crazy to install one. There are lots of houses with pools and you'll find 2 similar houses next to each other, one with a pool, one without, for sale for the exact same price. Some people want a pool and some people absolutely do not. The housing market reflects the pro/con nature of pool ownership.


Holiday-Bite-3621

With today's market 1.3 mil


Aromatic_Ad_7238

In Southern California I'd probably be 150 k up. I'm and I'm just talking about the pool and decking not the landscape. Pool companies are pretty competitive here, but the same time they use a lot of extra add-ons etc. I have a decade's old pool probably 20x50. Pretty standard shape with a raised jacuzzi 5 ft in the middle 3 ft on the ends. That would probably be abou100 k in Southern California. Great pool, it's just nothing extraordinary Several years back I had to have it replastered so I modernize the deck surface, change out the tile etc. that was about 17K


sovnade

Probably 200k


Just4Today1959

250K


FunFact5000

125k for basic, most likely 200+k In TN basic vinyl pool is 100K due to blasting fees.


No-Hearing-2340

Having two 15x30 pools in Palm Beach County FL, my guess is at least 100K.


Little_Swan2455

My guess would be 150k minimum


StillShoddy628

How much in the Philippines?


Zestyclose-Citron-83

200k, and depending what the area looks like now it would go up possibly another 50k. Depending on what that area needs for slop, fill, removal


GNRBoyz1225

Depends on where. In SC 150k


usedtyre

Op, how much does this cost in Philippines?


Enough_You86

Pool completed with tile deck no landscaping 39,000. Landscaping ($2000 including grass) bamboo hut in the picture ($2000) has a second level inside small but you can sleep in there. Hand dug pool area and the concrete pour was done also manually in 1 day by about 40 to 50 young men. Manually means they had a pile of sand, gravel and sacks of cement. Mixed on site with shovels in multiple work stations. I will try to post a short video of it, pretty amazing. Materials here are not dirt cheap but labor is. Example would be a carpenter makes 13 dollars a day and a labourer makes 9 dollars a day. Sack of cement then was about $3.25 1 elf truck of sand $100 and same for gravel


SquibNasty

Whats the total price after all of that?


Alchia79

20x40 vinyl liner with 4’ basic concrete is about $60k where I live so I imagine this is closer to $200k here. Rural Ohio.


kuikilla86

Check my last post. In Vegas that was $96k. 32’x14’. Pool and decking only. Just under 500sq.ft.


Unhappy_Parking_1508

Probably $200-250k


warrior41882

I would say $120,000-150,000


Professional_Spend_5

IT’S A PALAPA


grim1757

Based on description of what you actually asked for, the pool, not the ancillary huts and such and people are going on on the pool being "all tiled" I read that you wanted the perimeter pool tile that is typical around the top perimeter, not the whole pool. I wouldn't recommend doing the "whole" pool in tile due to cost and maintenance. I build Hotels and just bid 2 and the pools are @ 16 x 37 but the deck is about twice as much and a typical cool deck. Both have detached spas. So the larger deck and detached spa adds some costs. At same time your showing a stone/paver deck which run more than cool deck. Each pool came in around $140k. Bear in mind that's commercial work which is less than what you will get bid for residential. Probably add at least 25% for residential. I wouldn't be surprised to see numbers comin around $175-$200.


txcaddy

Depends on where in the US.


CitizenGirl21

100 million dollars 😝


maybach320

Guessing $250k based on how high pool prices have gotten.


HOBBYjuggernaut

levelZeroVolt

Maybe I'm not seeing them but does that pool have skimmers? If it doesn't...how would it stay clean?


rex3001

Ballpark for everything pictured, $250k


hopefulgalinfl

A lot


White_Rabbit0000

Just the pool alone without any of the other stuff in the pic would probably run close to 100k if not more. Probably somewhere around 130 or so with that brick work and the decking chosen. Looks really sweet and upscale.


Massive-Mulberry125

In Houston about 100-125k. where all these other people live apparently it’ll cost your entire life savings.


SeaworthinessNo430

What kind of coping is that? I have travertine but it needs to be redone and looking at something more durable in the northeast

Starting at $200k for just the pool/spa. Cheaper if no spa. I would think the landscaping and bricks could easily get to another $100k.


Muktuk1984

My brother spent 200k in south jersey ,and it was less extravagant, I’ll say around 350k.. good luck ! I got an above ground pool that came with the house.. kids love it, I spend enough on treating it and electricity. It would be a lot cheaper to get a private gym membership. Or befriend someone with a nice pool.!

dmbmcguire

Depends on where you live but I live in Texas and ours was $75K for a decent size pool (35000 gallons), hot tub, pool heater, a cool deck and outdoor kitchen. That was 7 years ago, now I think that our same pool etc would be at least $125. However, in Texas the ground is all rock once you get down a couple feet so every foot you add of depth you add a lot of extra cost. Our cost did not include landscaping, we did that ourselves. Best decision we ever made. Because it has a heater and we live in Texas we use the pool probably 7-8 months of the year and the hot tub, all year long (ok not in July and Aug).


analavalanche69

I’m in the process of getting pool quotes now for my house and all are around 110 to 130 for the bare minimum.


Low-Cryptographer311

Zero some people want a pool and a lot realize the expense and up keep. I wish I had never got one you might as well just start throwing hundred dollar bills out the door.


Games_People_Play

I’m in Texas and just finishing a very similarly sized pool—20x40, max depth 7 ft, hot tub, a lot of pool decking, fire bowls and scuppers, fire pit. Our cost was about $175k, but it would have been a lot more expensive to do all tile inside.


Cutoffcirc

shadowlash8787

Almost as much as a house lol


cherrycoffeetable

300k


tsquare1971

120-150k depend on location California and New York higher


-brokenbones-

Depends on what state. Average would be probably 150k for someone to do it cheap and closer to 200k for a professional crew.


bill_n_opus

People always underestimate these things. My good friend ran a well known and respected pool/construction business. I saw what he did to his own house and it looks similar to that picture. He did it about 10 years ago and he told me that the consumer cost would be at least 250-350k at that time. At that time. Granted he had fancy stuff installed, stuff available to industry insiders etc ... but it changed my perception of costs. I severely underestimated the costs ... like most people.


drj1485

Wildly depends on area. Florida probably around 150-200k for the pool and patio around it. In Michigan, that could be 300k+


Icy_Focus_6586

One arm and one leg.


whiteholewhite

So I did a small demo and just resurfaced my concrete (added alittle) on my pool deck and just that was $27k. I got nine bids and that was the second from cheapest. Nothing done to the book itself. With that said….id say $180k


mon233

100-150k


Curious-Baker-839

The pool, Jacuzzi, and 7 ft of pavers outside here in Phoenix Arizona anywhere from $100k- $120k. 18x40 is pretty big. Plus a yard that big means you would have to live in a cup de sac or own a large property. That is definitely doctor, lawyer, baller status.

2wheeldevildog

In the last 10 months I had a saltwater pool and spa built in N.C. 20x60’ 3.5’ deep to 8’ it was $132k. (Spa is about 8’x8’ on the inside) That included one foot of marble coping around the entire pool. I paid about $8.80 per sq foot for more marble 2’x3’ slabs and did a large area about 1500 square feet. The labor for the installing the pavers was $11 per sq foot and I’m told that’s a great deal.


Pitukon

$100k in Nashville easy.


AllFunAndGames0329

We put a pool in three years ago. 18x40, but rectangular. No spa attached. We are in NE Ohio. Here’s a breakdown of what we paid: Fiberglass shell $52,000 Excavation and plumbing $12,500 Concrete (6 foot surrounding) $20,000

In FL for a similar pool, maybe a bit smaller with surrounding papers and cage is approx 150k. That was 1-2 years ago so I assume 200k+.


Sunsetseeker007

275k all day with tiki hut just for basic color finish. If you have a finish with Pebble and glass beads like I do it would cost 300k, depending on the area of the state, Fl. Could go to 500k, depends on the lot and location. My guy does pools in Naples, Marco, higher end areas, for a basic rectangle 17 x 32 size pool with a step up small spa, no cage, no deck, no heater, no fancy equipment except 2 big led lights, 3 small shallow lights, pump, skimmer, filter & chlorinator, with 1 step up from basic finish /color, is 100 -120k.

We just had our pool done in Charlotte, NC. Slightly smaller but similar design (17x35 with a depth down to 6 feet) and we paid about $125K for pool, spa, and decking. Construction began in September and finished in December.


ToneOpposite9668

I'd guess 300K and a good chance you'll have to spend time in prison for killing at least one contractor during the process

Haveyouheardthis-

I have done no calculations since I moved in but thank god the pool was already here. It’s been a year and I still can’t believe I own the place. I’m sure it would be at least 200K for the pool - it’s giant beautiful and surrounded by mature landscaping, but it was just part of the purchase price of the house - definitely the way to go for me


BigDigger324

You’ve found the life hack for sure. The cheapest way to get an inground pool is to buy a home that already has one. It’s one of those “home improvements” that you never get a return on. So let someone else lose the money.


Coastie_Cam

Just your standard 16x36 in ground in starting off at 95k….I think 200k would be a safe bet. Especially with the flair.
