Fiberglass Pool Prices

Fiberglass pool prices vary from one manufacturer to the other. It is best to work with a manufacturer who is transparent about the details of its pricing.

Fiberglass Prices - An Overwiev 

It is possible that a single manufacturer will quote different prices for fiber glass pools depending on the extent of installation and the services available during and after the construction. Some fiberglass pool makers are able to present several packages or options on installation tagged in varying prices. These packages may be:

• Self-Install – this set up includes delivery of the whole pool shell, including its entire filter as well as plumbing systems. The owner takes care of the other labor involved such as excavation, setting of pool, backfilling, adding water, concrete prepping and forming, electrical, fencing and many other types of work to complete the installation. This set-up is ideal for homeowners who are knowledgeable about the labor involved in the installation. The price for this package may range from $12,000 to $30,000 depending on the size of the pool.

  
  

• Pool Less Concrete Decking – like the self-install package, the pool shell is shipped to the homeowner’s property. This package comes with the pool equipment, excavation work, setting of pool, water filling, installation and pool permit. It does not cover electrical work, fencing, concrete forming, and cleaning of pool. The price for this fiberglass pool may range from $20,000 to $45,000. The difference will also depend on the other inclusions to the pool and its size.

  
  

• Pool w/ Concrete – this package includes concrete decking, pool cleaning, final grading plus everything that comes with package #2. This is definitely pricier than #2 at $30,000 to $60,000. Again, size will play a part in determining the price of these fiberglass pools.

  
  

• Turn-Key- Many oftoday’s busy but discriminating homeowners prefer to just work with a sole manufacturer who can provide all the products and services to complete their fiberglass pool requirements. Such a package will cover everything from shipment of the whole set of pool materials such as pool shell, plumbing and filtering systems and other fixtures. Labor as well as materials for excavation, setting of pool, backfilling, adding water, concrete prepping and forming, electrical, fencing, final grading, cleaning of pool and pool permits are part of the package at a price ranging from $35,000 to $75,000.

  
  

Fiberglass Pool Prices -Worth It In Time?

An initial review of the above fiberglass pool prices will cause adverse reactions. Most will find them too expensive and hardly affordable. But if one is serious about investing in a fiberglass pool, one must not only consider the initial price but also look into the benefits of such a heavy investment.

Expensive fiberglass pools are hassle-free from day one and offer summers and summers of swimming fun that may well last for 25 years. True, concrete or vinyl pools are priced way much lower than fiberglass pools but maintenance costs in a very short course of time for these two type of pools may add up to the initial investment. This in turn is as expensive as spending for a fiberglass pool.

 For example, concrete pools will need to be re-plastered after 8 or ten years of use and vinyl liners may also require replacement after a similar period. Liner replacements may total $8,000 to $12,000 in the span of 20 years. With fiberglass pools efficiently installed, there is virtually no need for any replacement of pool shell within 25 years of use. In the long run, the low or no maintenance cost of fiberglass pools makes up for its initial steep price. There are many variables to consider when investingating inground pool prices.
