Planning ranges for a mid-size pool installed: fiberglass and gunite. Vinyl liner pools run below both; decking, fencing and permits stack on top.

the United States pricing is close to the national baseline used for these estimates. Soil, access for excavation equipment, slope, utility relocation and the finish and feature package move a quote more than the pool's footprint does — compare itemized bids for the same size and type.
Get at least three itemized bids for the same type and size, visit finished pools that are a few years old, and read the warranty for the shell, the finish and the equipment separately. Ask how the company handles rock, groundwater and access problems once digging starts.
Fiberglass, gunite and vinyl bids are not comparable to each other — settle the type (or ask each builder to bid two), then compare like for like.
Narrow the options to your city, then confirm the scope and the price before anyone comes out.
Companies are ordered by a weighted mix of customer rating and review count; specialists for this work are listed ahead of the companies that routinely handle it.
Review rating, review count and contact details, then ask the questions above so every quote covers the same job.
Share the pool size, equipment and current condition so each company prices the same scope, and compare at least two.
Installed in your area, the United States, a mid-size vinyl liner pool typically runs $45,000–$70,000, a fiberglass pool $58,000–$85,000 and a gunite pool $75,000–$120,000. With decking, a fence and permits most complete projects land at $70,000–$150,000+. the United States pricing is close to the national baseline used for these estimates; the size, finish, features and site conditions move the number most.
There is no single best type. Fiberglass installs fastest and is the easiest to maintain but comes in fixed shapes; gunite can be any shape with any feature but costs more to build and to resurface later; vinyl liner has the lowest upfront price but needs a new liner every eight to twelve years. Match the type to your budget, your yard, how long you plan to stay and how much maintenance you want.
A fiberglass pool is often swimmable two to six weeks after excavation; a vinyl liner pool four to eight weeks; a gunite pool eight to sixteen weeks because the shell has to cure before tile, coping and the finish go on. Permitting adds two to eight weeks up front, and decking and landscaping follow the pool. Most crews dig in the off-season so the pool is ready when the season opens.
Most residential pools are 3 to 6 feet with a deep end of 6 to 8 feet; diving depths of 8 feet or more need a longer pool and a larger excavation. Fiberglass shells are limited to the manufacturer's molds (commonly 6 to 8 feet), while gunite and vinyl liner pools can be built to almost any profile, including sport pools that are shallow at both ends.
Nearly every city requires a building permit, an electrical permit and a barrier (fence) inspection for an inground pool, and some require engineering for the shell or a drainage plan. Your builder normally pulls the permits; confirm who does and that the price includes inspections.
Budget $1,200–$3,000 / year for chemicals, electricity and routine service, more for a heated pool or a weekly cleaning route. Fiberglass and vinyl surfaces use fewer chemicals than plaster; a variable-speed pump and an automatic cover cut running costs the most.
