Most new inground pools in South Florida land between $60,000 and $130,000+. Here's what moves the number, what belongs in every quote, and what to ask before you sign anything.
That's the typical range for a new inground pool in South Florida. Where yours lands depends on size, shape, finish, features and your site.
A geometric pool of moderate size, a standard interior finish, waterline tile, coping and a modest deck. Built right, permitted, and done.
Add a sun shelf, a raised or spillover spa, upgraded tile and finish, more decking, and lighting. This is where most custom backyards land.
Larger or more complex shapes, premium finishes like glass pebble, marble or travertine decks, water features, and a screen enclosure.
The bars show how much each one typically moves the price on a South Florida pool.
More surface area and depth means more excavation, steel, gunite, finish and water.
A raised or spillover spa adds its own shell, plumbing, equipment and finish work.
Material and square footage. Pavers, travertine and marble are priced very differently, and decks get big fast.
A full screen enclosure is a major line item, and it is often left out of pool quotes entirely.
Equipment access, high water table, soil, and how much dirt has to be hauled away. Every yard is different.
Plaster, quartz, pebble and glass pebble range from classic to premium, and last different lengths of time.
A tanning ledge, benches, or a freeform shape adds forming, steel and finish.
Sheer descents, bubblers, deck jets, fire features and LED lighting.
Variable-speed pumps, heaters, salt systems and automation. Better equipment costs more up front and less every month.
Two quotes with the same total can cover very different work. The difference is almost always in what's excluded.
Every JM Pool Pros quote lists inclusions and exclusions in writing, so you can compare it to anyone else's.
Whoever you hire, get these answers in writing first.
A single lump sum makes it impossible to compare quotes or see what was left out.
Ask for exclusions in writing. Use the list above as a checklist.
Payments should follow completed work. A contractor collecting too much too early is the most common way pool projects go wrong.
Ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, including workers' comp.
Unpermitted work becomes your problem when you sell the house.
Changes should be documented and priced in writing before the work happens.
Building a smaller pool now and remodeling in year three usually costs more than building the right pool once. Financing through Lyon Financial lets you spread the cost over time.
