  • How much does a custom pool cost?

    At Recreational Concepts, we specialize in building custom vinyl liner and fiberglass shell pools. Like any custom construction project, costs will vary significantly depending on a number of variables. These include the size of the pool, the land modifications required, the size of the surface deck, and the other construction elements you choose. Custom features like built-in hot tubs in Madison, WI, water features, fire features, patios, and pool houses will also have a significant impact on the costs. Given the large number of variables, we welcome the opportunity to visit with you and discuss all the possibilities.

  • Why do cost estimates vary so much?

    While the primary elements of a swimming pool construction project are consistent from one plan to another, there are a great variety of options that can affect the costs. There is also an unlimited number of features that can be included. In addition, there are a number of swimming pool contractors in the southern Wisconsin area and not every contractor utilizes the same estimating process. To help you better understand why there are variances in the prices for in-ground pools in Madison, WI, you should consider the following. The price is determined not just by the size of the pool, but also by the quality of materials, the quality of construction, the complexity of the design, and whether the contractor includes all aspects of construction in its price estimate. Many pool contractors are inexperienced with certain site situations and therefore bring in their bids lower to win the job and then add the numerous cost overruns after construction starts. While every pool builder faces some uncertainty with the costs to prepare the hole for the pool (due to rocks, sink holes, etc.), many also do not factor in essential elements like retaining walls, systems integration, drainage systems, and safety features.

  • How much time will I spend maintaining my swimming pool?

    On average, you will spend approximately 25 minutes a week maintaining your pool. A few tasks you will attend to will be emptying the skimmer basket, testing the water chemistry, adding the chlorine tablets to the chlorinator, and checking your salt levels. We do suggest occasionally bringing in a water sample to our retail store for a full chemical analysis. We also have a complete pool service department that offers opening and closing services, as well as repair needs that may arise. Get in contact with us for in ground pools in Madison, WI.

  • Will a pool increase the value of my home?
