Is $55,000 to install a fiberglass pool a fair price?
Project Details
I’ve seen some of the pros and cons of gunite vs fiberglass but was hoping for some knowledge from you fine pool gurus. I recently settled on fiberglass based on pricing and my needs and my own research. That is until I received a quote from a reputable company in my area (BBB, insured, bonded, the works). Said company pretty much quoted me identical to the fiberglass pools I was interested in, but the design was more to my liking than the fiberglass. I'm wondering if it's a no brainer to go gunite if I’m getting more bang for my buck size wise. The gunite quote is also coming with a 6x9 raised spa which was the winner for my wife. I'm trying to realize if I’m missing something or just overthinking it.
