I always figure to have it professionally done you will roughly double the cost if you are adding comparable features. The pool deck and landscaping is likely more important then the...

    Sundancer is decent if you can budget in 20 grand you can get a very nice one get a nice pad underneath and get one of those cabana covers that comes down and closes up for you which makes keeping it warm in the winter a breeze

    Adding a hot tub to existing fiberglass pool

    Pool House Questions

    From a monetary standpoint you can never really justify a pool let alone a pool house. But if you want it and can afford it then go for it. Don’t forget you can’t take your money to the grave with you and you make it so you can spend it and enjoy it. Just my .02
