Advice On A New Pool Build

[m2736185]

I am located in NE Florida and I am interested in building an inground pool some time this year. The prices I have been quoted are

15' X 30' = $17,899 for a vinyl and or $25,000 for fiberglass similar size. I think I will be going with the vinyl. I don't think I will live in this house for more than 10 years so it doesn't have to last a life time. The price quoted includes everything. I was thinking about solar heating, but that was an extra $5,000. That would be a 1/3 of the price of the pool. I think I will settle for natural solar heating. What is everyones opinion on vinyl? Is it worth the extra savings?

I don't have a vinyl or fiberglass pool but if you want to save some money on a in ground pool I'd consider building it yourself. A friend turned us onto the idea and I think I saved around 30% from what the pool company was bidding.

We hired a pool designer who helped us with the design, engendering, and paper work for the permit. Then we sub contracted all the steps out. It was surprisingly easy.

I actually recently wrote the whole experience down and put it on a website - here, if your interested.

Before going any further, you should consult re-plastering and re-modeling experts as they can provide you with reliable solutions. I already went through the same situation, then my friend told me about many re-modeling and re-plastering companies like Valley Pool Plaster and Blue Haven. You can contact their experts and discuss your issues with them.
