Different Types of Fiberglass Pool Installations Costs

Fiberglass Pool Installation Costs

There are so many different questions people ask before getting a fiberglass pool; of course, the prices are always at the top of that questions list. In this article, I will try to explore the general pricing guidelines of a fiberglass pool.

First of all, buying a swimming pool isn’t so different from buying a house or a vehicle. Simply because there are so many various options with so many various price ranges available. Sometimes you find a car that starts around $25K with a basic package and then reaches $50K with added options like a GPS, upgraded wheels, and all-leather interior…etc.

People put a lot of money into their cars to make sure they will always find comfort inside them. It’s pretty much the same with fiberglass pools because it’s very important to pick the right pool that perfect for your family. As a pool owner, you want to enjoy your pool as much as possible with minimum maintenance.

Unfortunately, some people choose to purchase

a basic pool at a basic price to save money

This choice is a sacrifice of quality, warranty, and aesthetics which lead to regret eventually.

These are some of the add-ons that come with purchasing a swimming pool:

• Vinyl Liner or Fiberglass Pool
• Bench spa seats
• Water features
• LED Lights with colour and remote
• Pool Automation with Smartphone App
• Automatic Robotic pool cleaner vacuums
• Inground and above-ground hot tubs

The list is way longer than this and as you’ve noticed, there are so many options for pool add-ons.

The Price of a Fiberglass Pool

Fiberglass pool prices range from $65K to $85K depending on size and access. To compare with other kinds of pools; liner pools cost between $50K – $75K and concrete pools between $80K – $150K.

When it comes to maintenance costs, fiberglass pools cost no more than $4,000 in 10 years. Vinyl-liner pools cost an average of $11-15,000 and concrete pools cost $25-$30,000 for the same period.
