How Much Does It Cost to Build a Pool in Florida?

Planning an inground pool and wondering what it really costs in Florida? Most new concrete (gunite) pools start in the mid-$60s and commonly range higher based on size, shape, decking, and features. Our team designs, permits, and builds custom swimming pools statewide—with clear pricing, 3D design, and licensed construction from start to finish.

Below you’ll find the key cost drivers, typical timelines, and the step-by-step pool construction process in Florida so you can set a solid budget before we create your design.

Size, depth & footprint
Freeform or geometric design
Pebble, quartz & tile finishes
Decking, coping & water features
Equipment, lighting & automation
Permits, power, gas & site access

Design & Footprints

Freeform pools, classic rectangles, tanning ledges and raised spas each shape the budget. Shallow play pools cost less than deep-end diving designs, and additional square footage, benches, steps, and sun shelves add material and labor.

  • Rectangular, L-shape, U-shape & freeform
  • Seating, shade structures & traffic flow
  • TVs, heaters & fans for the patio area

Shell & Finishing Options

We build inground gunite (concrete) pools for maximum flexibility and durability in Florida’s climate. Interior upgrades like pebble or quartz, glass tile accents, and premium coping change the look—and the line item.

  • Gunite shell with steel & shotcrete
  • Pebble, quartz & tile interiors
  • Travertine, marble or paver decking

Permitting, Power & Gas

Municipality permits, utility trenching, electrical service, and any gas runs for heaters are included in our scope. Coastal wind ratings, drainage, and soil conditions may influence engineering and final cost.

  • Utility trenching & connections
  • Venting, canopies & equipment pads
  • Pre-construction walkthrough & care guide

What Affects Florida Pool Pricing?

Site access, elevation, and groundwater can impact excavation and engineering. Adding features like bubblers, scuppers, sheer descents, raised walls, and smart automation elevates the experience and budget. We model each option in 3D so you can see cost vs. impact before we build.

Whether you want a compact geometric pool or a resort-style freeform design, we help you balance looks, lifetime maintenance, and price—then deliver a smooth build with licensed Florida pros.

Florida Pool Cost — FAQs

Tap a question to expand. Don’t see yours? Reach out—happy to help.

How much does a new inground pool cost in Florida?

Most gunite pools begin around the mid-$60k–$80k range for simple geometric builds. Freeform shapes, larger decks, spas, and water features typically place projects in the $90k–$150k+ range depending on site conditions and options.

What is the typical timeline to build a pool?

Design and permitting are often 3–6 weeks. Construction generally runs 8–14 weeks based on complexity, inspections, and weather. We provide a clear schedule before we break ground.

Do I need permits to build a swimming pool in Florida?

Yes. City/county permits, safety barriers, and required inspections are part of every project. We handle drawings, submittals, and approvals for you.

Gunite vs. fiberglass—why choose concrete?

Gunite lets us create any size or freeform shape with custom ledges, benches and spas. It’s highly durable and ideal for premium finishes like pebble and glass tile—perfect for long Florida seasons.

Can you build the pool and deck together?

Absolutely. We install travertine, marble, or paver decking, coping, and screen enclosures as part of a single coordinated build for a seamless look.

What happens after the interior finish is applied?

We manage the 28-day start-up: brushing, chemistry balancing, and simple care steps to protect the new surface and equipment.
