Is $7,600 to install an SR Smith Typhoon pool slide a fair price?
Project Details
I am in the process of putting in a fiberglass saltwater pool. The plumbing for the slide was already included in the pool estimate for $650. I'm questioning the quoted price of $7600 for the slide, as I found the slide online for less than $4000, and I'm wondering if the installation is truly that difficult to justify the price difference.
