any concerns with the rough texture on the pad and ice damage over the winter?
That would have been so cool to thores paw prints everywhere rip sweet puppy
I installed a fiberglass pool about 15 years ago in my house in Phoenix, AZ. To this day the pool still looks new and has very low maintenance. I would highly recommend fiberglass pools.
"At the end of the video, we'll tell you how much we spent on it. Now enjoy this video titled '$65,000 Pool Installation."
Straight to the point, i like it
...and? I am assuming you didn't watch this video just to hear him say the price?

Yea no clickbait, thank you!!
$65k for a fiberglass tub?
Es mejor que tu picina de cemento 😅
Excavation,lighting, electrical, filters that all costs money 60k for a pool is cheap a concrete pool this size and features would’ve been 200k+
No way@@DGoat88
@@ernestoestrada8092 Fiberglass is so weak that you can never drain it because it might cave in on itself or float off level. Concrete pools last longer than fiberglass.
Glad to see they got the right pool schematic. Makes thing easier
Exciting to see something built so quickly, I'm used to watching DIY KZhead videos that take months-years to finish build. But $65,000 for what looks like a relatively small pool 😬 Just shows how much the USD has devalued in the last 15 years.
This build actually took months too lol. Just edited it down
In the last year and a half, the price of pools has sky rocketed because of the rise of labor cost and the rise of cost in items. 2, maybe 2 1/2 years ago, this would have been a $45.000 pool. I know because some friends of ours got a pool almost the same size of this one for $45.000 in 2020.
@@bcroft68bc Over 40% of all currency in circulation was minted within the last 2 years. $45,000 x 1.40 = $63,000. So the increased cost was almost completely a result of US Dollar devaluation. Cash is trash.
@@AutisticMorty no matter what has caused the price to go up, the fact of the matter is that the cost of everything has skyrocketed. The only thing that isn’t skyrocketing is my salary. Where I live, there is nearly a years wait on pools. My wife and I are going to put a down payment on one so that we can get in line. It won’t be built until sometime in 2023 though.
@@bcroft68bc You definitely need to push for a raise. Companies are charging higher prices as a result of inflation, and employees who switch companies are getting raises of 10-20% at the new job. If your salary is not going up, you're losing spending power each year. CPI was 8.5% this year, your salary should have gone up at least that much. But as you can see with pools, a 20%/year raise, over each of the last two years, should be expected just to keep up with the cost of living. There is more demand for labor than there are workers available, so don't feel ashamed to demand a raise.
Great video and the pool looks great! God bless you and yours! Praying for you
Hey, Bart, Great video! I took the cover off ours yesterday and vacuumed so it can be ready and warm for Mother's Day, under orders from you know who. We did ours 17 yrs ago, fiberglass and love it. Easy maintenance and no issues. The pump motor has been replaced 3 times, the heater and filter this past year. American Home Shield also covers all our pool equipment, best investment ever. Salt water is easy to start up and operating costs is low. Bought all my chemicals for the season and closing for $350. Have fun, the girls will have a blast!!
Hey Lee! Awesome to hear from you. Our pool was supposed to be a salt system as well but we got bamboozled by the contractor. Now it’s going to cost another 3,500 to have one installed this summer. But at least the kids won’t have green hair lol. Hope you’re doing well and say hi to Lori and the kids for me
Under orders from you know who? It's one thing to be a pathetic cuck, but to brag about it is just bizarre.
It's frustrating when people get impatient on a construction site. We're all hot ,over worked & under paid (most jobs) its important to take your time so you don't mess up a home, a pour or in this case a family pool. I was so happy to see you being patient to and grateful to the workers. I've been pouring concrete since I was 11 yrs old with my dad. It's a hot, hard job but the end results always makes me feel good. My dad started using me for brush work but he realized I could do patterns and I LOVED every minute of it aside from the heat 😅
An excellent doccumentary and thank you very much. My wife & I had considered doing exactly what you did, but after seeing the process you went through and the actual costs we changed our minds and instead will have our pool put in as part of our new house construction in spring 2023. It will only cost 15% more & most of that is the enclosure over it. Winters here in northern Vermont are almost as warm as those in Chicago, but without the gentle breeze.

Congratulations guys. Well done. Enjoy it.
Always wanted a pool. We're in central WI and have to drive 30+ minutes to go swimming. Love ❣️ that you put you're family 1st! 💯
Had an in ground pool installed a number of years ago. It was a joy for the kids as time went on. Granted it was a bit less expensive back then, but you're correct; the fun the kids had in it was worth any expense. Enjoy your summer pool side and BBQ, yeah,,that's it BBQ pool side and swim.
Thanks so much Pinta. Can’t wait to have it opened
If you want your heater to last more than 2-3 years I would advise adding a check valve after the outlet to prevent that concentrated chlorine water backfeeding into the exchanger after the system turns off.
This was awesome to see! I love seeing all this home reno content! Keep up the awesome work, Bart! I'd love to see an outdoor grilling/kitchen area
That may be next year. This year I have a surprise
Lmfao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

very thorough! Great video that covered issues, timeline and budget
An absolute wonderful family 👪. God bless.
It’s really crazy all the steps that the contractors go through to get the pool in and right. It looks amazing though.
Ya it’s definitely a lot of work and take a long time. Much longer then we were told initially
One day of swimming before winter.. Yeah. Been there too.. Very cohesive post my friend! Awesome! Yeah You and the family will be enjoying this for a long time.. I've put in 5 of these things myself and although I'm getting a bit old for some of the DIY stuff now.. I have no fear .. I just found your channel but you have a lot of stuff I do or have done or need to do. so I am subbing for more.. Thanks DMAX
It's been a long coming. Glad to see you will enjoy it this summer
Komar, this pool is fantastic! I’m shocked $65,000 plus we know there’s more cash in maintenance and supplies, etc. I’m shocked it cost that much however it’s beautiful and your kids, I’m sure, have the rest of their youth and then one day their children can swim and enjoy it. Super cool and amazing you were able to gift that to your family! Now… I’d love to see an outdoor shower by the pool, perhaps a change room and pool fence, etc. Can’t wait for what you come up with next no matter what the project is
Great video. I spent over $90k all in….pool, 2500 sq ft pavers, septic relocation, fire pit, 100’ retaining wall, water fall, fence, etc etc etc. Best money I ever spent. So much great family time and fun with the kids. Just moved to more land. Getting ready to do it all over again over the next 9 months. Thanks for sharing your spend. Too many people in the Facebook groups and message boards are scared to share what they paid. I don’t get it…everyone is looking for some guidance. Ever bit of info helps. Beautiful pool! Enjoy the great memories!
Thank you. I want a pool SOOOOO BAD and have been kinda on the fence about whether it's really worth it or not. I have three big kids still at home 23, 20 and 12 who like to have their youth group over etc and I have been wondering how much it is. I guess when it comes down to it it's not about the money or return on the money. It's about the memories. Thank you. Pray that God makes the money available!
All great info! Dave, what company built the pool & did the pavers for you?
The fun and health benefits of swimming will presumably pay for the pool many times over. Well done teams, and you too sir for making a great video. Well done.
Thanks man
@@KomarProject you're very welcome. 💙👍🕊☘
Yess its soo good swimming often!!
@@Itssshudaa 👍💜
The memories you make with your family is priceless ❤
Good job! Im now building my infinity edge swim pool in my garden :) I plan to start first season this June.
I agree with your assessment and reasoning with the cost vs. return. Your daughters are going to want to stay home more often as well and that is very cool. Everything looks good, congrats.
Not to mention their grandkids are going to be visiting more often 👍
That concrete thing is called a jitterbug. I remember my grandpa had one when I was a little kid. Old school for sure. It pushes down the rock from the surface. Awesome pool.
Yessir jitterbug it is! Lol. Grandfather been doing concrete work since the 70s, I thought they stopped using those ages ago lol.
Thank God for all the hard workers in life! ♡
Did a 40 yard pour and stamped same patter last June. Long day!
Seems like a lot of money for such a small pool
Beautiful pool. Congratulations 🎊
Thanks so much JR !!
Woah great video dude, Real exiting to watch ! Thanks for the Timelapse!
Very welcome my friend
Great Video man. Enjoy your pool.
I live in California. In 2014 I had my in-ground swimming pool professionally demolished and converted into a beautifully landscaped rose garden. I obtained city permits for said demolition and a required geological report for final city approval. It cost around 11K for everything. I never looked back. Pools aren’t for everyone, especially in drought-stricken Southern California.
I totally agree. Not for all. I’m not personally a big pool person but HB and the girls love it. It was worth it for us to keep them active for me. Who know what it may be 20 years down the road
California isn't for everyone
My family put in a pool in 1986. It cost $8,000 it would have been $12,000 but they put it in during the winter, so we got a discount. It was an in ground vinyl sided pool, 10 feet deep, Diving board and slide.
Getting ready to do exactly the same thing next month here in NW Arkansas.
We got one in 1976. They dug the hole and used a crane to drop it in. Also a Jacuzzi on the side in Garden Grove California.
Awesome man. I’ve dug a lot of pools for my dads excavation business! The pool company that contracted us used shotcrete and we shaped all those steps and stuff in the dig. Curious about your choice of fiberglass over shotcrete. I actually don’t know the difference/advantages to one vs another. Looks like that’ll be a ton of fun all summer!
So I did a lot of research before on both and with the shotcreet you can make any design you want but they are way more expensive around up. Somewhere around 80-100k. So it came down to price for us
@@KomarProject oh whoa yeah I don’t blame you at all on that. I was never involved in the money side for my dad’s business. I had no idea. $100k is nuts. This turned out awesome!
@@KomarProject Yep here in Georgia quoted 90 to 100k on shotcrete. I am now thinking about vinyl somewhere 35k range.
In south Louisiana we had to use shotcrete or the pool would float.
@@JamesJones-cx5pk Is that cause of type of dirt? Or what cause float?
My husband used to work for a swimming pool company. They used rebar and gunite. And their in ground pools cost half as much as this one.
Price of a pool has skyrocketed in the last few years.
Not any more !!!
Not a lot of gunite pools being built in cold climates.
We live in the Florida panhandle and put our pool in in1988. 18x36 diving pool, 23k gallons with extra concrete. Total cost 11k. Now in our area one like ours goes for 35-40k.
u basically did a how to and value of design a pool great video 📹
65K for a pre-cast seems astronomical
That’s not a precast pool,that’s a Fiberglass pool. There are companies that manufacture precast concrete pools.Precast concrete pools come with 4-5 options for the interior…tile,vinyl liner,pebble/plaster, EcoFinish, and PVC membrane interiors.
Way to small!
Looks great! I am looking to get a pool installed. It's amazing how expensive they can be!
Ya it was a sticker shock at first for sure
@@howarddamico1237 I’m also looking at an above the ground pool. Do you have any pictures posted?
@@howarddamico1237 I really appreciate the reply. Once I start the project, I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.
We spent $125000 CDN for a fibreglass pool with stone deck and cabana/washroom etc. We justified it by comparing it to the price of a cottage! LOL! Being fibreglass...we open it in April and close it after our Thanksgiving in October. We have never been happier!
Good Luck in getting any contractor to come back and rectify small issues.
Beautiful work !!!
Looks good, but I would have chosen gray skimmers, returns etc to blend in with the shell of the pool. It would have provided for a more seamless, clean , and classic look in my opinion.
Thanks for hiring our company it was great working with you
Do you have any contact info?
Sehr viel Arbeit, für einen recht kleinen Pool. Hätte ich nicht gedacht!
the way they did it was crazy efficient
All this could have been avoided had the office had given the installers the correct pool specification. Too much soil was removed and too much gravel was needed.
Thank you Captain Hindsight!
@@kconry3078 Capt Hindsight is describing the situation in a much more direct and clear manner than the video creator. In fact, the creator seems to be in denial about the incompetence of the installation crew.
Yeah, basically pay once to dig a big hole, pay for them to fill it 4 times, pay for a lot of stone, pay for the water truck to come twice. Pfff, I would be pissed. But I’m not a content creator needing a happy ending :)
You are exactly right cuz I am the installer who installed it but they originally ordered a different pool so they gave me the print for the original pool until I figure out that something was not right
@@robertdickerson9976 It's not your fault they told you to dig the wrong hole...
Looks beautiful. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Thanks so much Daniel
awesome to watch. Thank you. Does it not appear, that the pool could be topped up some in water level?? At least another 2-3 inches.
Is it safe to go into the swimming so early on? It seemed like there might be still lot of debris of concrete and other stuff.
Seal your concrete, be sure to use a slip resistant additive. Looks awesome!
Great point! I do concrete work and decorative concrete gets very slippery when wet if a sealer is applied! We use shark grip as the additive.
@@TeeJayEastBeast we do too! Otherwise you go flying!😳🤣
Back in the 80s my father had an in ground pool installed for $8,500 …wasn’t quite as big, but not a huge size difference other than being rectangle, even had concrete stairs with whatever they used as sealant layer + nice patterned pool tiles on top and around perimeter. You’d probably have to DIY to come close to that price nowadays.
Great video actually! Just one more advice for pool builders - good to think about future add-ons like retractable pool enclosure allowing to use the pool year round. Think about concrete or pavement around the pool as well as its shape so it doesn't get unnecessarily expensive!
Man pools have gotten insanely expensive. Glad I got mine back in 2010.
Everything has!! Concrete flat work is ridiculous, people just beg to get on people’s schedules now! It’s ridiculous
@@VinnyGjokaj Yup...I'm finally getting concrete curbing put in. It took almost 3 months to get it scheduled and I had to call 3 companies before anyone even said they'd do it.
Ya made it all look like a real breeze! Great job! Everything looks so nice 😊
Great video! Perfect size for a pool
Thank you !!!
I just ordered a arie 9 pool I can’t wait to see how it turns out..
I literally just watched another video a couple hours ago of a pool install, but it was a time lapse with no explanation of the process. I ended up having so many questions that you answered here. Awesome video as always!
You are very welcome. Any other questions feel free to ask. I know it can be a stressful decision and process
Did you ever get the issue with the edge of the pool concrete fixed? Sorry for all the issues you went through but it is a beautiful pool. The girls will LOVE it. Do you have to drain the pool in the winter? Here in Texas, we don't have to drain it because it doesn't really freeze. But growing up in the mountains of Utah, people drained their pools to keep them from cracking with ice expansion.
No we haven’t had that resolved. I have a email in to the contractor and no response yet. Will see what happens. Might be interesting lol
@@KomarProject Latham pool, Fiji model. This pool come from their DeWitt Iowa plant?
Nice to see some tile in the pool
Good luck an enjoy it for years to come.
Great video. So. I have to ask. Did the concrete issues get corrected?
Not as of yet. We will be taking next steps soon. Thanks for asking
How in the name of God did a prefab pool cost 65k. Insane. I thought New England was high.
That's what I thought. $65,000 for a fiberglass pool. Not that I THINK he got ripped off. I KNOW he got ripped off. Helps to know people.
A 9x18x52" above ground pool clocks in at 4850 gallons. This is only 5500 gallons. A friend had a 10,000 gallon pool installed with a concrete surround and solar heated for $40k.
I agree!!! No way I would have ever paid that. Pools are such a waste of money, and they do not add value to a house. That was not anywhere close to being worth $65K!!!
What's even funnier, is that he, excitedly try to sell these incompetent screwups as ?a good thing? Sadly, I think they saw him coming along way off.
Right?! I know a dealer in Florida that sells similar composite shells starting at 10k. Crazy.
Awesome video and amazing built
I learned a lot of things from this video - chief among those, pools are really expensive!
Im suprised the contractor didnt put rebar into the concrete since it was so thicc
If I had $ 65 000 to spend it sure wouldn't be on a tiny pool!
A bit larger than my Hot Tub that sits next to my pool
@@johnjobber2219 salty
salty
Yeah, my Intex pool holds twice the water this one does. And costed 15 times less, with more equipment :))
A pool like this has to fit on a lowboy (so 40' is MAX length) and it has to be shipped in so 16' wide is max.
Wow. That was a huge project
Yes it was lol. Glad it’s done
I enjoyed watching, thank you
holy chit // $65,000 . above ground 26' pools are only 3000-5000. most are being given away on marketplace for FREE. You coulda got an above ground maybe 30' round and buried it almost to the top and hired out the cement work. thousands saved... those guys seemed like that was the first pool they ever put in and I didnt see any levels for the concrete work. NO string lines. they just winged it
Everyone in this video is dumb
i bought a 11,500 gallon mega-insta pool or 4Ezpool they call them about 10K much better choice
Those cheap pools last a few years
AG pools are not the same a UG pools… apples and oranges….
Those moulded pond/pools are ok as long as they are fitted with one way flood valves in the base. Otherwise if the surrounding land floods, they pop out of the ground…
$65,000 pool. You got ripped off!!
congrats on the pool. im getting my pool resurfaced this summer.
Thanks so much
The 2 best day's when getting a pool the day you get it and the day you get rid of it.
Haha starting to realize that
What I've learned. By above ground.
100% We got our AGP and love it. It’s 24’ round and 4’ deep. I did the install myself with some family members in a weekend and then built a nice deck around it. It’s easy to take care of and winterize and there’s no underground pipes to worry about. I bring the pipes and pump in for the winter, drain everything out of the sand filter and cover it with a winter tarp and leaf net. The family really enjoys it and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg and we could use money to buy pool toys, inflatables and furniture for the deck. Def the better way to go IMO.
Brilliant pool i only got a 10 ft pool and hit tub in my garden so jealous
Love the spin on the screens around the pool. Face palm.
So what cost 65 big 1s.
We paid $45000 in 2015 here in Florida but had in floor pop up heads, salt system and solar heating. I’m sure would be at least $70000 today.
*2005. Oops.
Why so expensive the pool, here where I live it's not that expensive, of course it is but not as it is in the USA, probably around 40 k and you could build a way better, bigger and coolest Poole that the one in this video and all with less money
Fantastic video clip 👌 looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪
incredible ingenuity
Many thanks !!
We just finished up our fiberglass pool in Florida. Spent about the same and had similar things come up. I noticed they used wooden braces. Did they happen to remove those? Our inspector made them be removed which caused major leveling issues. Just curious. Totally agree that it was worth it. Especially now that the same project was quoted well over $100,000! Enjoy!
Hey you should bison palm trees around and you and you got a good-looking pool that
$65k? You got screwed dude! 😂🤣
Yeah but add water delivery, excavator, plumbers, electricians, various contractors,MASSIVE crew, shitload of gravel, it wouldn't be surprising if it was more than 65k
thanks for sharing happiness....it looks wonderful :)
Thanks Clark !
Great video and information here. Pool area looks great!!! ALWAYS use a reputable pool company or you will without a doubt regret it. Also add 15k for an auto cover, 5k for a slide, and 5k to fix your landscaping/yard/irrigation after install. Another 10-25k for a pool house and you're all set. 65k for what is in this video is not unreasonable, but expect the unexpected.
When you drain the pool are the walls going to cave in?
There is a way. But yea it would
65k for fiberglass pool? Are you kidding me? In California you get a real concrete pool & spa for 55k (35x15) smh
Good for you and your family I simply wouldn’t never install pool in Midwest due to cold weather 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
great journey to follow!
I got a 32 x 16 fiberglass pool in 2020.. we paid 55k for everything that’s including concrete, landscaping and fencing.. I did the landscaping myself and installed the fence. I’m assuming now they are 70k +.. not sure for that price it’s worth it. Not sure if I would spring for a pool now!! Just saying
I feel the same way. I’m not even a pool person but the entire family loves it. Happy wife happy life
Great video. Too bad people suck at what they do. How difficult is it to make sure the concrete pitch is correct. Especially with a form. Would have been a breeze screeching it from the beginning. Would have eliminated the low spots. Reminded again to interview the contractor on their specific steps. I don’t know about Chicago area but $65000 seams a bit high. Thanks
Ya I wish I caught the mistakes as they were happening too. We checked pricing and for our area it was the cheapest we could find for a size like that. Maybe that was our problem lol
Awesome Video Bart!!!
I’m sure the joy and excitement on your girls faces made it all worth it, like you said at the end.
65 grand! Damn looks like I’ll be hitting Walmart for a blow up pool lol
I was quoted 85k+ for gunite pool here in georgia. If 65k to much you can always spend under 35k for a vinyl pool.
65 grand, isn't that what your ZL1 cost? lol. You can get a home equity loan for for that price and basically just add $150-175 to your mortgage... really isn't as big a deal as most people would think
I build a pool once, about the same size, for a fraction of the prize. Do you plan on making a cost breakdown video like you did with the slab? I would rly like to know what the contractors cost.
The contractor we hired included everything from pool installation to concrete. And all of that was 64,500. So there really isn’t any breakdown I can provide. Sorry man
What year was that? The dollar has devalued dramatically. Supplies and labor have doubled and tripled in the last 15 years.
Oh, it was around 20 years ago, also it happened here in Europe. Unlike the US we build all our houses with stone and concrete so supply is not an issue, its every day use material, it also had no labor cost since it was done by family members (4-5 ppl). These days ppl build a lot with plastic materials, we build everything we could out of stone and concrete and the inside of the pool was tiled instead of plastic foil or insert. The whole plan was done by our neighbor who works in that field and helped us out, calculating the cost for us up front and look after us from time to time during the construction process. The material was hauled from the hardware store to our property with a rented van, concrete was mixed by ourselves on site and it was a ton of work, but a fun family project, one of the rare positive memories i have of my family, lmao.
@@KomarProject $65K for all that seems like a good price to me.
@@RaVeN1KWith this explanation in your second post that you provided, you initial statement about building a pool for a fraction of the price was very misleading, don't you think?
Great video! What’s the purpose for using the massage gun on the form boards?
