Is $19,000 to renovate a small backyard pool with standard equipment a fair price?
Project Details
I received several estimates for a pool renovation and have narrowed it down to two contractors. The primary difference between the two quotes is the quality of the equipment. My small backyard pool needs updating but is currently functional. I've never had a pool renovation done before and am seeking advice on essential or avoidable equipment, and if there's a significant difference between higher and lower-end options.
