Question about pool installation costs
 

I am new to TV and am thinking about having a pool, pool patio and birdcage installed at my home. However, I have no idea of what this might cost in Florida. Can anyone give me a guesstimate?

We have a courtyard villa. Received quotes from $50-60k. I would suggest you visit one of the local companies and have a chat with them.

Some other threads that may be helpful.

Start at $50K and go up from there. Size matters :$: So do options such as solar heat, electric/gas heat, landscaping.

With so many pools in the villages, personally would never own a pool again--we had an indoor pool in NC==my wife swims a mile a day at the various sports pools- whatever floats your boat- figure out /cost per hour and usage--buy a good car instead-easier maintenance

50k and up for pool, bird cage and solar.

Having your own pool in Florida is a no brainer. Adds value, ambience, large indoor/outdoor space with the birdcage enclosure, dog loves it and 5 1/2’ masonry wall supplies much needed privacy. Never have to keep your conversations down nor forced to listen to others. No worries about unkempt restrooms, bugs, hoping your favorite spot isn’t taken, playing your music, take a dip at midnight, fecal matter in the water, on and on and on.

We were had pressed to get below $80K.
I hear about $50K estimates, but our designs never were close to that level.
Size is the driving factor, pool is by linear feet. Deck and bird cage are driven by complexity and material as well as size.
Solar is around 5K, but will pay for itself in three years.
The other factors to consider are maintenance and replacement. The former is on going time and cost commitment. The latter involves the equipment and surfaces. Ten years life seems to be a good average.
We love ours, love being able to use it easily. It does come with a cost.

Also, thanks to expansion, don't be in a hurry to get this done. I know that T&D is at least 5 months out right now. Makes we wonder why I didn't get in the pool installation business ;)

I already have a large pool with a hot tub and just wanted to expand the birdcage and cement floor with two electrical outlets and one water outlet with a total surface of 40' x 25'. Went to T&D and they wanted $44,000. We then went to another pool company and were quoted $22.000 for the same work. The point is look around it seems that prices vary greatly. T&D does nice work but way over priced. Just my opinion!

I think their prices are too high. We had Fiesta in Ocala put in the pool, solar and bird cage. We are 100% satisfied. We were in our pool 35 days after the start of excavation.

I don't agree with your statement that a pool adds value. In my experience, you do not recoup the cost.

Even if the house was built with it ? Which includes the 1500 sq. ft. birdcage, masonry privacy wall, cul de sac on a quiet 1/3 acre ? It’ll be recouped alright.

Worth it.

Better than that fancy whisky. It all depends on what you want to spend your money on.

Pools like beauty are in the eye of the beholder, some like the privacy and a skinny dip at times, some can't stand not to be talking to others whether they are interested or not. Your own pool lets you call the shots ;)
