How much does an above-ground pool cost?

<div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-above-ground-pool-cost.htm">cost of an above-ground pool</a> is <b>between $1,100 and $5,700</b>. 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. </p></div>

How much does an inground pool cost?

<div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-pool.htm">Installing an inground pool costs</a> around <b>$55,000, on average</b>. 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.</p></div>

Is adding a spa to a pool worth it?

<div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-hot-tub-cost.htm">hot tub costs</a> 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. </p></div>

How long does it take to install an inground pool?

<div><p>From start to finish, building an inground pool takes anywhere from <b>two to four months</b>. 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.</p></div>

"David replaced the Pentair pump on my above-ground pool, after the old one failed prematurely. He was very knowledgeable and gave me great tips to make sure this pump won't fail on me...he installed fittings that will allow me to easily disconnect and store the pump for winter. Despite a delay from the pump supplier, David stayed on top of the situation and kept me informed on the status. I'm happy to have a pool service that I can count on for my future needs. Thank you David and InShore Pools!"

The water�s warm and we�re always having a great day!

"Innovative spas was sent to me through my home warranty company. I was pleased to hear they chose them because we are also in the market for a hot tub. After checking my pool, I was told that my T-Cell was bad, and not covered by my warranty. He has one on his truck and the list price was 1200.00. I mentioned you can buy them all day for way less. (FYI a brand named Hayward 15 T-Cell can be purchased for about 750.00. ) So after speaking to his boss he stated that he was told they would sell me the t-cell for 789.00. I felt it was fair and he was already here. But he then went on to tell me that she wanted me to pay a 125.00 service call fee. I said oh yes through my warranty it is 65.00. He said yea but we need you to pay a service call for the t-cell. I , very puzzled, thinking I was misunderstanding, said, well your already here and it is in your truck. He said I know but she is the boss. I let them know that trying to squeeze that extra 125.00 out of me told me about what kind of company they would be to work with, and I no longer care to purchase a hot tub from them. He said okay and left! I called the hot tub salesperson and told him what happened and why I would no longer be purchasing a hot tub from them. He rudely said OK! Well fine, she made her decision Good luck to you Side note: that they are telling people they should buy a soft tub instead of a real hot tub, because the soft tub fits 6 adults (not true) that is delivered price is 5700.00. (1000.00 more than anyone else) He also stated, Ã¢Â Â Yes it only has 8 jets but you do not need jets for the benefit of a hot tub, just hot water . Due to my experience, please beware! This company operates without an ounce of integrity. Apparently they think that since pools and hot tub sales have soared since the pandemic, they can be rude and customers just have to tolerate it. I suggest you bring your money elsewhere."

Above all we are mindful of our customer's interests and make their concerns the basis of our business. **Due to our high-volume of customers, we have decided to work strictly on in-ground pools only; we do not service or clean above ground pools at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.**

"I signed up for their biweekly cleaning package which was a set price of $85 plus chemicals. My pool was dirtier than an average cleaning so I anticipated paying more for my initial service. The first time the company showed up they gave me a little less than an hour service. They showed up a few days later and gave me about an hour service. They showed up a few days later, performed more cleaning, still did not complete and said he?d be back the following Monday or Tuesday. At this time I was starting to get concerned. I contacted the company to find out what the bill was up to that point. They told me $481 with at least one more visit to go. I have never spent anywhere near that amount on a cleaning, opening, or closing of my pool. They should not have taken so many days off in between the various cleanings. By doing that they just kept allowing the algae to build and making their job more difficult. I stopped the job because I had only budgeted $350 for the entire job. When I told them that they reduced my bill to the $350. I paid my entire budget and still did not receive completion of my service. As this companys bill starts going into the ridiculous range (as compared to its competitors in this market) they should notify the customer. When they initiate a job they should complete it within the same week so as to not gouge the customer on the bill. I have gone with another company to close my pool for the year earlier than expected and I will never refer this company to anyone else."
