One of the most common questions we hear at SBW Pools is:
How much does a pool cost in Burbank or Los Angeles? While prices can vary, this guide will help homeowners understand what goes into pool construction costs in LA, and why investing in quality matters.
What Determines Pool Construction Cost in LA?
As a trusted California pool builder with over 50 years of experience, SBW Pools breaks down the major cost factors involved in building your dream pool:
1. Pool Type & Materials
Concrete (gunite), fiberglass, or vinyl. The pool material you choose affects cost, maintenance, and lifespan. In Southern California, gunite pools are the most popular for their durability and design flexibility.
2. Design & Custom Features
Luxury features like waterfalls, baja shelves, LED lighting, and built-in spas add to the overall price but also elevate the experience and long-term value.
3. Permitting & Regulations
Los Angeles County has specific permitting processes. Our team manages these details so you don’t have to, saving time and avoiding costly mistakes.
4. Labor & Construction Timeline
Expert craftsmanship isn’t cheap, and it shouldn’t be. Skilled labor ensures your pool is built to last. We commit to exacting standards at every stage.
5. Site Prep & Backyard Conditions
Is your yard sloped? Do we need to remove existing landscaping or install retaining walls? These site-specific factors influence cost.
Why Value Beats "Cheap"
Cutting corners on a pool build can lead to long-term headaches. At SBW Pools, we refuse to compromise on quality, because you deserve a pool that lasts decades, not just a few seasons.
