About 'pool price'|how much does a pool cost








Long,               long               ago               -               in               the               1950s               and               '60s               -               everybody's               backyard               pools               looked               alike:               kidney-shaped,               with               a               diving               board               at               one               end,               and               filled               with               vivid               blue               water               of               a               hue               not               found               in               nature.

Like               so               much               else               else,               pools               have               changed               dramatically.

It's               a               far               cry               from               the               cookie-cutter               look               of               yesteryear.

Pools               can               be               free-form,               outlined               in               flagstone,               or               in               natural               rock               that               forms               grottos               and               waterfalls.

A               formal               pool               can               incorporate               an               adjacent               spa.

A               vanishing               edge               pool,               with               its               stunning               visual               impact,               is               a               grace               note               in               the               landscape.

And               even               a               seemingly               tiny               yard               can               accommodate               a               properly               designed               lap               pool.
               These               days,               the               pool               is               not               just               a               place               where               the               kids               can               splash,               but               is               a               vital               focal               point               in               the               total               look               of               a               home.

The               aesthetics               of               the               pool               count               as               much               as               its               entertainment               value.
               "People               are               trying               to               create               a               unique               environment               in               their               back               yards,"               said               Raymond               Whitford,               president               and               CEO               of               Lifetime               Pools               in               Palo               Alto,               California.

The               ambiance               of               the               yard               can               be               enhanced               by               the               pool               as               well               as               complementary               structures,               hardscape,               landscape               and               lighting,               both               inside               and               outside               the               pool.
               This               unique               environment               comes               at               a               price,               however,               and               the               cost               is               just               one               of               the               considerations.
               Not               only               is               building               a               pool               an               expensive               project,               but               it               involves               a               considerable               investment               in               time               and               effort,               a               willingness               to               put               up               with               noisy               machinery               and               workers               digging               up               the               yard,               and               a               variety               of               permits               and               inspections.
               "It's               major               construction.

It               can               be               traumatic,"               said               Whitford,               who               estimates               that               the               typical               pool               installation               will               take               from               eight               to               12               weeks,               although               it               may               take               longer               if               the               permit               process               goes               slowly.

"Sometimes               it               can               take               from               weeks               to               months               to               secure               permits."
               How               much               does               a               pool               cost?

Depends               on               how               elaborate               your               plan               turns               out               to               be.

Your               total               expenditure               depends               on               the               design,               depth               and               length,               but               plan               on               spending               at               least               $18,000               for               a               basic               in-ground               pool,               according               to               www.costhelper.com.

Custom               designs               will               run               more.
               The               first,               and               most               important               step,               is               finding               a               reputable               pool               contractor.

According               to               Christina               Cozzi,               a               public               relations               executive               for               the               Association               of               Pool               and               Spa               Professionals,               it's               important               to               get               recommendations               from               friends,               neighbors               and               family               members               who               have               had               pools               built.

But               avoid               unlicensed               contractors,               and               check               with               the               Better               Business               Bureau               to               make               sure               there               are               no               outstanding               complaints               or               suits               against               the               builder               you               have               in               mind.
               Using               an               experienced               contractor               is               important               in               any               kind               of               construction,               but               particularly               when               it               comes               to               pools,               because               of               the               engineering               involved,               said               Whitford.

"You               need               to               have               a               contractor               who               is               familiar               with               the               geology               of               the               area,"               he               noted,               especially               on               California's               slip-prone               hillsides.

"The               finished               pool               might               look               beautiful,               but               there               could               be               a               potential               for               problems               years               down               the               road."
               Whitford               said               to               look               for               pool               builders               who               are               licensed,               have               been               in               business               for               some               years,               and               are               members               of               professional               organizations               such               as               APSP,               the               Master               Pools               Guild,               and               the               California               Spa               and               Pool               Industry               Education               Council.
               As               with               any               other               major               construction               project,               homeowners               should               get               bids               from               two               or               three               different               contractors,               Cozzi               said.

Have               a               look               at               their               finished               work               as               well,               and               ask               if               you               can               visit               any               projects               that               are               under               way,               adds               Whitford.
               An               experienced               pool               contractor               will               be               able               to               guide               homeowners               through               the               process               more               easily               than               a               less               knowledgeable               builder,               Whitford               said.

There               are               a               bewildering               number               of               options               and               choices.

Does               the               homeowner               prefer               a               free-form,               formal               or               lap               pool?

What               will               its               purpose               be?

What               style               suits               the               home?
               Savvy               contractors               will               be               able               to               ascertain               the               owner's               needs               and               wants,               and               will               also               be               well               acquainted               with               local               permit               and               approval               processes               needed               to               complete               the               project.
               Whitford               said               that               a               pool               builder               should               be               able               to               direct               homeowners               to               energy-saving               options,               such               as               heating               the               pool               with               a               passive               solar               system,               installing               an               automatic               pool               cover               that               keeps               debris               out               and               heat               in,               or               using               variable-speed               pool               pumps               that               substantially               reduce               electricity               costs.
               "The               choices               can               be               overwhelming,"               said               Whitford.

Some               intriguing               modern               options               that               he               mentions               include               pool               interiors               in               dark               colors,               and               underwater               fiber               optic               lighting.
               Additional               help               may               be               required               to               help               tie               together               a               backyard               plan               with               the               anticipated               pool.

An               integrated               landscaping               design               makes               sure               that               the               pool's               style               meshes               with               the               rest               of               the               property,               said               landscape               architect               Steve               DuBridge,               owner               of               DuBridge               Design               in               San               Jose,               California.
               "A               landscape               architect               can               make               sure               the               (yard)               design               is               cohesive,               coherent,               and               that               it               all               fits               together,"               said               DuBridge,               noting               that               ideally,               the               shape               and               style               of               the               pool,               outdoor               structures,               exterior               lighting,               hardscape               and               landscaping               should               all               work               together.

A               creative               pool               contractor               and               the               landscape               architect               collaborate               to               create               a               look               that               enhances               the               property               as               a               whole.
               And               what               do               you               get,               for               all               this               money               and               aggravation?

In               the               end,               a               place               to               relax.

A               thing               of               beauty.

And               a               very               important               enhancement               to               a               home's               value.
               "These               days,               every               pool               becomes               a               custom               project,"               said               Whitford.
