Table of Contents for this Page<\/h3>\n<\/div>\nInground Pool Installed Cost<\/h2>\n
The average installed cost of a 12 x 24 inground pool is around $39,500, when a minimum amount of site work is needed, and you have the pool put in by a local pool installer. While doing it yourself is an option, it\u2019s not recommended.<\/p>\n
Professional pool installation will generally include all yard and site preparation, heavy equipment fees used for excavation, the labor and manpower to install the pool, filter and accessories like a pool cover, ladders, diving board is requested, etc. Refinishing the landscaping and removing the extra dirt once done may or may not be included.<\/p>\n

While pools are quite an investment, an inground pool can also bring a good return on investment, if you live in an area that has extended summers. If an ingound pool is too far out of your budget, above ground pools offer nearly the same convenience, at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n The costs in this guide include the process from excavating the hole to finishing the pool with common accessories and a concrete walk around the pool. Those we discuss in this Cost estimate are built using steel or polymer shells or gunite concrete walls.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll share all the factors involved with installation as well as how they affect price. We\u2019ll also share itemized costs for shells and accessories. There\u2019s a survey of swimming pool costs from other sites and reader-submitted prices. You\u2019re welcome to share your own cost at the bottom of the page with other homeowners who have had an inground pool installed.<\/p>\n <\/img><\/p>\n Factors are listed starting with those that have the greatest impact on cost.<\/p>\n The process of determining your cost includes selecting your pool size, shape and material and choosing the accessories you want such as steps, a bench, lighting, pool heater, cover, diving board, slide, etc.<\/p>\n Here are sample swimming pool shell costs for common sizes in small, medium and large. The range accounts for the various shell materials available.<\/p>\n Pools costs for accessories, contractors and labor are below.<\/p>\n <\/img><\/p>\n Expect the project to take 7-14 working days. It is common for projects to last 3 or more weeks with weekends and days waiting for contractors. Here is a typical timeframe for a pool of average size and difficulty.<\/p>\n These are itemized for DIY pool installers. These costs will be included in estimates for \u201cturn-key\u201d pool installation. The site must be excavated and appropriate base material added to the bottom of the hole. The pool is assembled or constructed with plumbing, wiring, a pump and your chosen accessories. Then, the area is backfilled and graded, and the surrounding concrete is poured and finished.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve found the projects listed below to be commonly researched when having an inground pool put in your yard. If you don\u2019t see a specific page on the topic you\u2019re interested in learning about, please suggest a Costimate for us to review. The most common DIY pool installation scenario is a partial approach. Homeowners get the permits, hire and schedule contractors \u2013 an excavator, electrician, plumber and concrete contractor \u2013 for those parts of the work.<\/p>\n The homeowner then gathers a crew of hard-working family or friends to assemble or install the pool kit over 3-6 days. Paid laborers at $100-$200 per day per person is another option. It\u2019s a lot of work, and very few homeowners have the time or can assemble the crew to complete the project.<\/p>\n In short, while it\u2019s possible, we don\u2019t recommend DIY inground pool installation. It\u2019s more work than most homeowners are prepared for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Table of Contents for this Page Inground Pool Installed Cost The average installed cost of a 12 x 24 inground pool is around $39,500, when a minimum amount of site work is needed, and you have the pool put in by a local pool installer.
