rookie74 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hello Everyone- I’m ready to get a pool so, I've started getting quotes on your average 80 perimeter pool. With today's market, I know you can get a lot more pool now than I could have 3-4 years ago. I have a very aggressive budget of keeping everything around $16-17,000. I received a quote today for a local builder with the total price of $25,000, below is the price breakdown. Please let me know If they are over charging, or if this is a good deal. Thanks for your help and input 15,995.00- Basic Pool Package $ 400- Pool Permits $465- Increase depth to 6ft from standared 5ft $465- Remove an replace fence $750-Standard bobcat dig $!60-baha step $695-Navigator (Pool Cleaner) $2,850-In-Floor cleaning system (425 Cart/ 1.5HP) ( PV3 system) $525-Upgrade to Goldline P-4Panel, No Salt $925 Add Goldline Salt Cell to ANy Goldline Panel $205-Automated Valves, Per Valve $515-upgrade to LED light $2,195-20sq FT Rock Waterfall $145- Landscape Boulder $2,000- Upgrade to Standard Color Pebbie Tec or Shee -$(2,850) In Floor Promo -$(1,450)Salt Chlorine Generator -$ (750) Discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reh523 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Why would you need a $700 Navigator if you are getting a in floor system for free? Kind of takes away the $750 discount? $695-Navigator (Pool Cleaner) $2,850-In-Floor cleaning system (425 Cart/ 1.5HP) ( PV3 system) -$(2,850) In Floor Promo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just by one after market if I think that I need one; however, I'm still looking around, but does the overall price of everything, else look good? In addition, I also going to ask about why they are charging me for the dig? that should be included within the base package Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZMermaid Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Looks like they gave you the price of the "Basic Package" added permits which are necessary - Ask them about the dig. The other items look like they are "options" which you can add or not. Find out EXACTLY what is included in the "Basic Package" (Usually around Phoenix that means 80' perimeter, filter (which is usually very very small - I call them "silver bullets") 2-3 steps, tile (the cheap stuff) 3/4hp pump, basic light, 2 surface returns, and maybe a vac port, and minimum decking 1.5' around perimeter). Make sure you check it out carefully, and get more than one bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
