Well guys, I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all the old posts, I've been doing a ton of research on what we might want for our backyard pool on the Central Coast of California.
I've had 3 companies come out and here is the rough details and pricing:
Here were the optional things we probably will want:
Maybe I'm just forced to pay the premium for living on the Central Coast (San Luis Obispo Area). The guys in the valley get things cheaper. Or maybe I hire a contractor from the valley that is 3 hours away and they commute to build my pool?
Definitely feeling overwhelmed, as the price is climbing high, and Quote B is getting up to nearly 120k with ecofinish!! Maybe I just pull the plug and don't get a pool....Both PB are putting pressure on me saying they are basically full due to too many people booking pools due to COVID19 and are wanting me to make a decision soon.
I'm scared of plaster because the startup and re-plaster process in 10-15 years at a cost of 10-15 grand. I'm scared of ecofinish because its 'new' and has to be installed correct and its pricey!! Quote B doesn't even like quartz. We don't want pebbletec because its too rough for us... (our opinion). So I'm kind of torn on the finish...
Anyways, looking for comments / suggestions / encouragment / direction, etc haha
Thanks for listening!
I've had 3 companies come out and here is the rough details and pricing:
- 15x32 Rectangle Pool
- Basic concrete coping, maybe colored
- Automatic cover by Coverpools (roughly 13.5k)
- Gas Heater
- All starter equipment either by Jandy or Hayward, including VS pump, cartridge filter, automation, pool sweep
- Finish, TBD read below...
Here were the optional things we probably will want:
- Quote A had SWG for 4800, Quote B was 1900 (don't love this difference...) (Note Quote A the PB is super against SWG)
- Quote A had 24in raised bond beam wall w/ 3 sheer descents for 8800, Quote B had 32 in raised wall with 3 sheer descents for 8800
- Concrete decking at around $9 per square foot
- Quote B is offering ecofinish for for around $9600
- Quote A and B are both offering slide for kids for around $3500
