Tipton Pool Builders, serving Knoxville, TN explain what it costs to build a pool 

There is no way to put a price tag on a cost of constructing a swimming pool without your swimming pool contractor from Tipton Pool Builders actually coming to your home and providing an onsite estimate, but there are some numbers that can be put to a hypothetical situation when you’re in the midst of wanting a swimming pool constructed. Your pool contractor can give you a round about figure for a pool that is X number of feet long and X number of feet wide with a diving board and a spa at one end. But it will take him surveying your yard, checking your soil and you deciding on amenities and quality of pumps and filters and building materials before you can get a more exact figure.

Your Knoxville, Tennessee swimming pool contractor will come to your home to provide a more exact estimate for pool with a spathe pool you’re hoping to own. Other costs that go into your pool project include:

  • Whether you want a fiberglass, concrete or vinyl liner pool
  • Its size and shape
  • The quality of equipment you want to have installed ie pumps and filters and plumbing
  • Any accessories you want installed as part of the project and those include a diving board, slide, tanning shelves, rock waterfall, spa or sauna, etc.

Understanding every aspect of your swimming pool construction project and what it will potentially cost is something that your pool contractor will explain to you. He will also explain the differences between specific pool equipment, pumps, filters and even building materials so you have  thorough understanding of how an up front cost might impact what you pay for maintenance and upkeep on the back end, and vice versa.

The decision to own a swimming pool is not one that you’re going to take lightly, but working with a qualified, experienced swimming pool contractor will help assure you get exactly what you’re hoping for in your pool project.

Once decisions have been made, your contractor will provide you an itemized estimate that includes the cost of excavation and landscaping as well as building materials, equipment, accessories and other items such as electrical work that might need to be completed as well as the cost of installing plumbing for the pool. He will also let you now if there are items that are mandatory that need to be a part of the project such as safety equipment.
