Remodel costs vary, often 50-70% of new construction costs, depending on remodeling depth and choices for feature additions or modifications.

Both above ground and inground pools can have pool liners. Inground pools made of gunite don’t need pool liners, and you’ve probably walked along an unlined pool and felt the ripples and ridges on the floors and walls. But adding a liner over gunite or other pool types helps protect the wall panels from algae growth.

The average installation timeline for putting in an inground pool is between two and three weeks once the permits are approved, but that process can take an additional week or two. There are some things that can extend your timeline by days or even weeks, including ground preparation and excavation—especially if you have problematic soil—moving underground utility or sprinkler lines out of the way, installing the actual pool, and backfilling around the area. Additionally, many pool companies may have a waitlist due to high demand, meaning you could wait for months for the installation to be complete.

A 24-foot diameter pool is the most popular size for a round above ground model, while 15 by 30 feet is a common choice for oval-shaped pools. However, you'll find round sizes everywhere between 8 and 33 feet. Oval pools range up to 21 by 41 feet but can be customized to stretch much longer. Choosing the right size will come down to where you can level your yard and how many swimmers plan to use the pool at a given time.
