Variables that Effect Inground Pool Cost
Apart from your design choices and desired effects, there are also a few variables that are out of your control that can affect the overall cost of your inground pool installation.
1. Equipment location – The construction team will need a place to store large excavation and construction equipment.
2. Soil condition – The density, hardness, and contents of your soil can impact the construction process of your pool and require additional work if they are not ideal conditions.
3. Irrigation system – If your existing irrigation system is in the vicinity of your pool site, they will have to be rerouted in order to make room for construction.
4. Access to the yard – The construction team needs an easily accessible location to enter and exit the construction site.
5. Slope of the yard – They slope of your yard affects the construction process of your pool. If you have a very steep yard that slopes off, it may cost more to install your pool.
6. Existing utilities – If there are existing utilities in the dig site, they will have to be moved to make way for your new pool.
Long Term Inground Pool Costs
1. Maintenance and Cleaning – Owning a pool requires regular maintenance and cleaning in order to keep your water clean and your pool healthy. You can choose to do your maintenance yourself or hire professional pool maintenance to service your pool on a regular basis. Either way, routine maintenance will be an ongoing expense for as long as you own your pool.
2. Homeowner’s Insurance – Typically standard home insurance will cover inground pools. However, it’s always smart to check with your insurance company prior to installing your pool. Depending on your coverage, you may need to add a personal umbrella policy (PUP) which can cover up to $1 million in damage.
Navigating the financial commitment of buying a pool can be challenging. That’s why it’s so important to work with a pool builder that you can trust to be clear and upfront with you about all potential costs.
At Blue Haven of Tulsa we offer a site analysis, design, and proposal at no cost to our customers before we even begin construction. We know that being prepared upfront creates better satisfaction in the long run, and it is our goal to build a pool that you will love for years to come.
