What factors influence the cost of building a pool?
There are many factors that can influence how much your custom pool build will cost. Pool size and shape play a huge role, since larger or custom-shaped pools tend to be more expensive. The material of the pool will influence cost. For example, fiberglass is most likely more expensive than gunite. Vinyl is most likely going to be the least expensive pool you can build. Any additional features, like waterfalls, lighting, spas, and diving boards can increase the overall cost. And lastly, factors like the terrain, soil conditions, and accessibility can affect the cost of excavation and site preparation. Rest assured our Taylors pool construction team has worked through it all and can help give an accurate quote.
What is the average cost range for building a pool around South Carolina?
The cost of building a pool can cost upwards of six-figures with all the bells and whistles, however, we have plenty of custom pool options that are much lower than that price point. The price can be influenced by factors like material, site excavation, features and landscaping.
Are there any additional costs to consider beyond the construction itself?
Yes. A pool can add tons of fun and relaxation to your home in Lake Keowee, but there’s also some maintenance and ongoing costs to consider.
Pool maintenance includes cleaning, chemical balancing, and equipment upkeep. Costs associated with this are buying the necessary chemicals and cleaning products. You may even have to pay for some service visits here and there.
Once your pool is up and running, you’ll have some extra water and energy costs. Regularly filling the pool and running pumps, heaters, and filtration systems will contribute to ongoing expenses. Lastly, some pool owners may need to adjust their homeowner’s insurance coverage.
