If you’re thinking about building a pool, chances are your first question is: how much does it cost to build a pool in Arizona? And the answer is…well, it depends. Prices of pools have also gone up due the adjustments to the ecomomy and supply chain challenges, with prices starting in the low $40,000’s, not including tax.

You see, the great thing about building a pool with us is that you can customize everything from the size and shape to fun features such as waterfalls and lighting. Behind the scenes, you also have to think about the right filtration systems, sanitization, utility and efficiency to keep your pool healthy, along with the ownership cost you’re comfortable with.

The Shasta Pools experts have put together this handy infographic (see below) that talks about all the different parts of a pool build that will factor into the final price. But don’t feel overwhelmed! We can guide you through all the options and come up with a pool plan that makes your family – and your budget – happy for years to come.

Above the Surface

1. The Size – It makes sense that the size of a pool directly affects the cost. The bigger the pool, the more materials and the longer it takes to build. We can help you choose the right size of pool (and budget) for your family.
2. Design Features – Decking material choice, interior finish, tile options and water features are come of the key factors affecting cost. You can go high-end for impact, or less-expensive for budget.
3. Technology – Shasta can automate your pool for maximum convenience but typically smartphone automation isn’t offered in some of the pool prices you’ll be quoted from other manufacturers. It is however a much-desired feature.
4. Lighting and Landscaping – To finish the aesthetic of your pool, you may decide to refine your backyard’s landscaping or add dramatic lighting in and around your pool. While not essential, these services can augment the pool lifestyle for a lot of families.

Below the Surface

1. Filtration – The physical cleaning system of your pool is a major cost driver, no matter if it’s a pool vac, an in-floor system or something in between. Most people find investing in a higher quality cleaning system upfont pays for itself in time saved and afternoons spent swimming later on.
2. Sanitization – There are a few types of sanitation equipment you can choose to sanitize your pool. Choices include chlorine tablets, salt systems (salt systems produce chlorine), ozone and UV systems.
3. Construction Quality – Shasta has spent the better part of 50+ years innovating and upgrading the best practice of pool construction. A pool that lasts longer with less maintenance brings the cost of ownership down and should be factored into the price of your pool. That low-bid may end up costing you more in the long-term.
4. Efficiency – While not listed on the new pool price tag, a pool’s operation cost has to be considered when comparing one pool to another. Shasta prides itself on building with the bet and most efficient, tried-an-true equipment possible.
5. Warranty – Shasta offers the industry’s best 5-year labor warranty to give our customers added peach of mind and increased value in every pool we build. Something to consider when figuring out the total price of a pool.
6. Support – We understand the not everyone who builds a pool is an instant expert. That’s why Shasta Pools supports your new pool lifestyle with a program called Pool School, designed to show you how to run, clean and maintain your pool for optimal enjoyment. We will even check in on you later to see how you are doing.
