It depends on the season, the type of pool being installed and the scope of work in the project. A fiberglass pool at grade with a concrete or paver deck can be installed as quickly as 3 weeks. A shotcrete pool can be completed through plaster as quickly as 6 weeks, and a typical project averages about 8 to 10 weeks. An elevated pool and deck averages about 12 weeks, because of the extra phases and inspections required to lift the pool off the ground. The largest turn-key elevated projects can take as long as fourteen weeks.

Camp Pool Builders builds pools year-round, regardless of the weather. The best time to build a swimming pool is before spring and summer. That lets you have your pool and the surrounding landscaping finished by the first warm day, and it gives your family a full season of fun.

Many factors set the price of a pool. How big is it? What extras and custom features are added? The price is also shaped by the quality of materials and craftsmanship, by soil conditions and whether the dig meets water or rock, and by the warranties the pool builder provides. Camp Pool Builders offers the highest quality of work and the best warranty of any builder in the industry. However, our pricing does not reflect it.

Customized options, automated features and the cost of finish materials all contribute to the total price of your pool. Camp Pool Builders designs a pool that fits your imagination, your yard and your budget, and the designs and estimates are free.
