How Much Does a Pool Cost in Florida? | Pricing Breakdown & What Affects the Price

2025 Pricing Guide for Brevard County Homeowners

The most common question we get:

“How much does a pool cost?”

As of 2025, most pools in Brevard County fall between $60,000 and $100,000+, depending on your property and the features you choose.

Here’s what actually determines where you land in that range.

There’s No One-Size-Fits-All Price

You can’t assign a flat price to a pool without seeing the property.

The same design could cost:

  • $70,000 on one lot
  • $90,000 on another

Why? Because every property is different. Elevation, access, trees, irrigation systems, overhead lines, groundwater, or living on canal/open water can all affect cost.

If you’re on a river or canal, engineering and drainage requirements alone can add $1,500–$2,000+.

Pools are custom construction projects — not prepackaged products.

What $60,000 Actually Gets You

In today’s market, we typically say:

Pools start around $60,000.

That generally includes:

  • Standard-sized pool
  • Basic interior finish
  • 3–4 feet of deck
  • Optional sun shelf (about $1,500 extra)

It does not usually include:

  • Spa
  • Screen enclosure
  • High-end tile or finishes
  • Premium decking

Think of $60K as the entry point, not the final number.

The Biggest Cost Drivers

Finishes

Finishes are one of the fastest ways to increase your budget.

Upgrading tile, interior finish, or decking can turn:

  • A $60,000 pool
    Into
  • An $80,000–$90,000 pool

Glass tile alone can add around $1,000 depending on the pool size.

Deck Size

Decking often impacts cost more than pool size. Larger decks mean:

  • More concrete or pavers
  • More labor
  • Larger (and more expensive) screen enclosure

Spa

Adding a spa typically increases the project by $10,000–$15,000, including:

  • Heater ($5,000–$6,000)
  • Plumbing
  • Tile
  • Electrical
  • Blower

Screen Enclosure

Screens average $15,000–$20,000.

So an $80,000 pool with a spa can quickly become a $95,000–$100,000+ project once screened.

Features Add Up Fast

Bubblers, deck jets, extra LED lights, waterfalls, and automation all add up quickly. A simple bubbler with LED can be a $2,000 upgrade once plumbing and electrical are included.

Comparing Estimates the Right Way

Two estimates that both say $60,000 may not be the same pool.

One may include:

  • Waterproofing at the tile line
  • Running power to equipment
  • Landscaping required for permit final
  • Irrigation restoration

The other may not.

You can’t just line up bids and pick the lowest number. Pools aren’t like cars — details matter, and missing items eventually have to be paid for.

Why Pools Cost More Today

Costs have risen steadily due to:

  • Labor increases
  • Material increases (concrete, rebar, PVC, equipment)
  • Required safety codes
  • Variable speed pump mandates
  • Automation systems

Pool pricing typically increases 5–7% per year due to supplier increases — not contractor markups.

There’s no such thing as a $30,000–$40,000 pool anymore.

So What Should You Budget?

In Brevard County, most homeowners should plan for:

  • $60,000–$70,000 → Basic pool
  • $80,000–$100,000+ → Pool + spa
  • $90,000–$120,000+ → Pool + spa + screen

Every pool is custom. Every property is different.

If you want a realistic number, the best step is sharing your survey and scheduling a design consultation. That’s how we give you pricing that actually makes sense for your backyard.
