Is $112,000 to install an inground gunite pool through a pool company a fair price?
Project Details
I’ve been getting quotes for an inground gunite pool in the Atlanta area. I researched how pool companies operate and found they manage subcontractors. I compared a $112k quote to direct subcontractor rates and found a significant markup. I have project management experience and am considering the owner-builder route.
