The luxury and convenience of owning a pool is the driving force behind deciding to be pool owners. If, when you’re planning family vacations, and you wonder, “where did the time go” when it’s over, you might be an ideal candidate for a swimming pool of your own. Consider that the money you put into a pool will be an investment that will be with you for decades and will be an area in which you and your family can build memories all summer long, not just for a week long vacation.

Set your swimming pool construction budget

Here are budget items to consider for your pool project.

  • Talk with friends and neighbors to find out how they paid for their pool
  • Ask for a ball park figure on what they paid for their pools
  • Talk with swimming pool contractors and ask for an idea on the average price of a pool.
  • Build in a cushion of about 10-15% onto the projected price of the project.
  • Give yourself a month or more to arrange financing if necessary. Talk with your potential pool builder about financing as he or she may know of a lending institution willing to help you out or you can speak with the bankers at the bank which you typically work with.
  • Gather at least three pool estimates for construction and make certain you are comparing apples to apples when it comes to the quotes you’re receiving

Following your research and information gathering, you can look for the pool of your dreams whether it’s a fiberglass, gunite or vinyl liner style. Now is the ideal time to begin looking for a contractor for your 2017 pool project.
