How Much Does a New Pool Cost in Broward County?

"How much does a pool cost?" is the single most common question we get. The honest answer: it depends on size, finish, features, and site conditions - but here's a real breakdown of what new pool construction typically runs in Broward County today.

Entry-Level (Basic Geometric Pool)

A compact 12'x24' geometric pool with standard Diamond Brite finish, basic tile, and a simple concrete deck typically runs in the $60,000-$85,000 range in Broward County. That includes permitting, excavation, shell, plumbing, standard equipment, and basic finishing. It does not include upgraded decks, landscaping, or water features.

Mid-Range (Custom Shape + Upgrades)

A custom-shaped pool in the 15'x30' range with Pebble-style finish, upgraded waterline tile, paver deck, LED lighting, and a variable-speed pump lands roughly $95,000-$140,000. Add a spa and you're typically at the high end of that range.

Luxury (Full Resort Build)

Large pools with raised spas, tanning ledges, sheer-descent water features, glass tile interiors, travertine decks, smart-home automation, and integrated landscape lighting often land in the $175,000-$350,000+ range. These builds are genuinely resort-quality and are typically paired with outdoor kitchen, pergola, and landscape work.

Where the Budget Actually Goes

• Shell & excavation (~30%)
• Finish, tile, coping (~15-20%)
• Deck / patio (~15-20%)
• Equipment & plumbing (~10-15%)
• Design, permitting, engineering (~5-10%)
• Water features, automation, extras (variable)

Cost-Saving Strategies That Don't Compromise Quality

Right-size the pool to the lot. Choose mid-tier finishes - they look nearly identical to premium options at a fraction of the cost. Plan the full backyard upfront to avoid mobilization costs twice. And get multiple written, itemized estimates - cheap verbal quotes always balloon.
