Is $14,000 to fill in an inground pool a fair price?
Project Details
The homeowner is assisting his brother with a neglected inground pool that has a failed liner and metal walls. The pool is large and located in a yard with tight side-access, making it difficult for standard equipment to enter. The homeowner is considering a DIY approach with friends to avoid the $14,000 professional quote.
