In the Chesapeake area, inground pools typically start around $60,000 and can exceed $150,000. Most fiberglass pool projects fall between $60,000 and $87,000, depending on design and site conditions.
Several key factors influence the total cost:
-
Pool Type:
Fiberglass pools offer the best balance of upfront affordability and long-term value. They’re more durable and lower maintenance than vinyl or gunite, which often require costly repairs or refinishing over time. -
Backyard Access:
If equipment access to your yard is limited, installation costs can increase—sometimes by $5,000 to $10,000—due to the added labor and equipment needs. -
Project Scope:
Your pool is just the beginning. Add-ons like patios, lighting, pergolas, or spas can raise the budget, but they also increase the function and beauty of your backyard.
