POOL QUOTE OPINIONS - HOUSTON TX

[Vegas Kid]

Received some travertine quotes....$7-$8 for travertine installed over concrete base (includes travertine). So thats about $4 less than the builder or almost $2000 which is about where it should be ($13-$14 per sqft)

Not sure I see the point on pouring concrete if you're going to have travertine. I'd would much rather just put it on the sand

Thanks for the input guys. His price on travertine is way too high. I haven't talked prices yet, just making the design right and getting other bids.

We widened the pool to 15ft which brings total perimeter to 144 (13ft is too narrow for the length in our opinion)

This upgrade raised the price of the base pool from $54,612 to $54,995 (about what I expected, $383) or .005%

The price of pebbletec went from $4,672 to $5,172 which is $500, almost 11%!!




I've seen the travertine laid in both cement and sand/crushed limestone base. I think I prefer concrete as I don't ever have to worry about the pavers sinking or weeds growing (I have a paver patio now).

Pentair equipment purchased off the internet has a 60 day warranty from the seller from date of purchase. UNLESS you can get a qualified installer to put it in then it has a three year warranty.

That's a huge difference.

Thanks for sharing.

I have pavers in sand now and its a little bit of a pain; weeds, shifting pavers (couple every year). I want something I don't have to touch.
