[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know about fiberglass pricing, but we are about 3/4 of the way through construction on a concrete (gunite) pool. We will end up somewhere around $225K with a substantial deck/seating area, several retaining walls and landscaping included in that figure. 
Just be warned, it is a long process. We started planning last summer, construction started in early January and it should be complete in the next month or so, so we'll use it most of this summer. And I feel lucky that we're getting it in this year -- some of the contractors we considered last year were already booked through 2023. [/quote]

WTH?  Granted I live in AZ, where everyone has a backyard pool, so maybe that makes things a little cheaper, but 225? that's freaking insane.  My neighbor just put in a huge pool (they're all gunite here) with the top of line pebbletec-type interior, large travertine deck, turf in some areas, firepit, full landscaping (1/3 acre) for $85k.  They decided against the bbq for $15K.

My sister is working on a similar project with a owner-contractor business and will be in about $60k.  Like your experience it's running about 8 months from start to finish with several months backup.

I know this has nothing to do with the OP, I'm just flabbergasted![/quote]

Everything is more expensive in the DC area than in AZ.[/quote]
