FAQ

Building an in-ground pool in Idaho typically costs around $105,000 to $122,500, depending on the pool size, materials, design features, site conditions, and customization level.

The minimum cost depends on the pool type. A basic above-ground pool may start around $6,400 to $11,000, while in-ground pools can range much higher depending on the material.

Rectangular and square pools are usually the most cost-effective shapes because they are simpler to design, require less complex labor, and make efficient use of materials and space.

The most expensive part is usually the construction phase, including excavation, framing, plumbing, electrical work, and installation of the pool shell.

The most expensive part depends on whether you mean the initial build or long-term ownership. For construction, the pool shell and excavation are usually the biggest costs. For ownership, repairs, resurfacing, equipment replacement, and maintenance can add up over time.

The cheapest way to build a pool is to choose a simple above-ground structure, avoid luxury add-ons, keep the shape basic, and use a straightforward design that reduces labor and material costs.

Filling a 50,000 litre pool would cost around $439 after increasing the cost by 75%. Actual pricing can vary depending on local water rates or delivery fees.

Concrete pools are more expensive because they require more labor, longer construction time, more customization work, and ongoing maintenance. Since concrete is porous, it often needs more brushing, chemicals, and resurfacing over time, which can make long-term ownership cost higher than fiberglass or vinyl pools.
