The job was started on time, finished early. Ted even seeded the yard and built 2 sets of stairways for access to the new yard. This was an old pool with very thick concrete walls. Ted decommissioned to code and the yard looks great. thanks Ted!

"Taylor was very responsive when I first messaged about a repair for my pool pump. Very helpful and offered a solution to keep my costs down. Sounded great, however, I kept getting pushed out on the schedule. He kept blaming his tardiness to attend to the job on waiting for parts to arrive, I had to follow-up with him consistently for an update of when the work would be done. It took a week and a half past the initial date he said he would come, but this was fine and I was happy he was able to do the work. However, the pump is not working, it does not seem to be creating any suction or drawing enough power to circulate any water. I asked him for solutions or ideas on what I could dol, he told me that he was a book for a week and a half out. Since I have already paid, and my project should be done, I felt I should have been moved forward on his list. It is now been a week and I have texted him 4 times asking for an update, called and left a voicemail once, no response. The summer is going to be mostly over by the time the pool is running. Very disappointing when I began this process back in May. He seems like an inventive guy, willing to make cheaper solutions for his customers, but his lack of communication will ruin his business. I would not recommend him and truly wished I would now spend $200-300 for the next bid so I did not have to deal with this continuing headache of a pool pump that Will not run."

FAQs for pool construction and installation projects in Portland, OR

The average cost of an above-ground pool is between $1,100 and $5,700. Costs will vary depending on the type of pool you install. The low end of the price range includes a DIY kit for around $800 and goes up to about $15,000 for a custom pool with extra features like a deck and water features. Building an above-ground pool is much faster than installing an inground one. The cost tends to be much lower for an above-ground pool than for an inground pool because there’s less labor involved, especially when it comes to excavation and running plumbing and electrical lines.

Installing an inground pool costs around $55,000, on average. The typical price range is between $39,000 and $70,000, depending on the size and type of pool and accessibility of the site. This project requires an experienced pool installation contractor as the project usually involves extensive excavation, plumbing, electrical, concrete, and careful grading of the concrete or pavers around the pool.

Adding a spa to a pool is worth it if you use it enough. Adding a built-in spa to an inground pool can cost between $15,000 and $20,000, on top of installing the pool. A separate hot tub costs between $5,000 and $8,000. These prices will vary depending on the hot tub's size, type, and features. Additional costs include maintenance, electricity, and plumbing.

From start to finish, building an inground pool takes anywhere from two to four months. Factors that impact time to completion include any weather delays, material delays or shortages, scheduling conflicts, and any unforeseen challenges. The project may take most of the pool season, depending on where you live. Because of this, it’s a good idea to start getting estimates and finding a qualified pool company at least a year before your anticipated installation. Spring and summer is the busy season for pool contractors, which impacts their availability as projects are typically booked for several weeks if not months.
