I’m not sure about that…I put in a pool on an existing house. I had to pay to rip out existing sprinklers, cut down trees, put in temporary sprinklers to keep the landscaping watered for the 9 months of construction, install new landscape including new sod in my neighbors yard, patching the house where existing screen enclosure was removed not mention the mess of living with the construction. I also had to pay additional on top of the pool price for a plumber to install a new gas line to the heater and while they were there, run gas to the grill into a deck that was not built… then there’s the coordination of all the pre and post pool stuff. I wonder if a new house, is a screened enclosure installed and then torn out for a larger one??? I would guess I spent about $25k on top of the pool price.
