- Hey guys!! Thanks so much for watching todays video where I am sharing our own personal experience and cost of owning a pool. I am breaking everything down for y'all as far as maintenance cost, chemical prices, did our utilizes spike up? answering the most common question often asked to a pool owner.
🚨Hello everyone!! Here’s an updated video for 2023! czcams.com/video/Z72n4JcNycA/video.htmlsi=Qc-TNtfFI_AqEB3y
Thank you. This is very helpful information you are providing. I'm about to be a pool owner and just waiting on the permit from the city to go through. But just researching for information on what to expect and this is very thorough.
Thank you, glad you found my video helpful & congratulations to you!! You’ll have endless fun times!!🤗
Even though we’re not pool owners, I enjoyed watching this video until the very end- hopefully one day (crosses fingers). 😉
Aww thanks so much! Means a lot, I appreciate you hanging out till the end. Yes one day! Everything is possible
Good info, it helps to get an idea of costs. The part about cleaning supplies was especially helpful. Everyone's situation will be different. For instance, we are on a well and don't have a water bill. However I pay for electricity to power my well, and that will run more so I will see added power bill and wear and tear on the well equipment.
Also, I wonder if people talking about utilities going sky high are thinking of how it was before more energy efficient equipment came along. Nowadays, standard pool equipment is very energy efficient.
How much did your taxes and insurance increase?
First, I must say whoever designed your pool has super good taste - I did enjoy the information you provided your price breakdowns were quite helpful as I am about to become a pool owner so thank you sharing.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful to you. I’m forever proud of saying I designed my pool, features and firepit placement. Congratulations to you!!! You’ll enjoy it so much! Gatherings, parties and just the aesthetic look feels amazing!
Great information
Thank you so much for sharing.
I’m also located in Katy TX. Would you recommend the pool contractor that you used?
@@jonathansoberanes4842 I might be contradicting myself here, the beginning stages where a nightmare! I posted a video oh how disappointed we were and all the trouble/issues we had to face including a bursted gas pipe. Overall everything had a solution and turned out a dream come true! So to answer your question..yes I would recommend our builder to anyone who is looking into building. 😊
So what was the overall average per month for pool ownership?
At what point in this video does she give prices for bills and stuff?
Through out the video 😊
Thank you for sharing! Informing myself so I can convince the hubs 😁!
Awww haha your welcome! ☺️
I wonder how much your bills are now. Everything has gone up dramatically. I live here in Magnolia and I dont think I ever paid $20/month for gas, it’s about $50/month
just 50 per month??? where do u even live
Hi! Here’s an update for this years bills 😊 czcams.com/video/Z72n4JcNycA/video.htmlsi=40ci_slEey2fZ8Sv
Hi Norma, great video! Thanks for the information you share. I am thinking of getting a pool build in my house, and I have two questions; what is the size of your pool and how depth is it? I had several recommendations for the depth but not sure yet. I was thinking to start mine from 3.5 ft to 5.5? I want to be able to use the whole pool with no discomfort or sinking myself. I am 5'9.
We did 3.5 to 9 20x40
Hi there! Thanks, so we also wanted to
Utilize the entire pool without having a deep end where no one will spend time in. We did what you call volleyball style some both ends start at 4 and the middle is 5.5. We are tall, I’m 5’8 and eventually the kids will grow lol we started at 4 since we always seem to squad at other pools that start at 3.5 which is the standard starting point. We wanted the water right at our chest or below without having to squad down🙂 the entire pool measures at 35x15 and the spa is for up to 12 adults. Good luck to you, you won’t regret building a pool! 🙂
@@bridesnyc nice!! Huge pool! That’s awesome!
Thank you for the video…Can you share the total cost of your pool?
This video was super helpful. Thank you for offering encouragement because I do hear mainly negatives. One thing I hear is that you have more mosquitoes with a pool. Is this true? Do you mind sharing about how much it cost to build your pool? I also live in Texas and would love to have an idea when getting quotes. Thank you again for sharing. 😊
My pleasure! Negativity was all we heard, it’s totally not like that with us lol everyone has their own opinions but for us it has been the best thing! We’ll as you know here in Texas mosquitoes are bad lol we haven’t noticed a different but the pool does attract a lot of of other bugs! Not sure if they’re june bugs or beetles, dragonflies etc, they all fall in the pool during the evening but it’s all sucked into the skimmers. We paid $65k
@@normavargass thank you Norma for being so open with your pool experience. It really helps those thinking to get one. A pool sounds like such a blessing. Thanks for all your tips. It’s definitely something to aspire for.😊
Your youngest must be a water sign! Cancers, Pisces and Scorpios can’t live without water! Both hubby and I are water signs and we love to be by water!
We moved to downsize, and the same pool now in Florida went up $20,000 post Covid totally insane and disappointing!!
Hi, the first one from Saudi Arabia, I love you🇸🇦💗
it is if you have six hundred million dollars worth of international bearer bonds in your bank account in monaco.if you're even struggling to afford a big mac,it's probably not going to happen in this life or the next.!
I live in South Houston. I am about to buy a house and hopefully next year I plan on having a pool made. Who was y’all pool company and did you like there work?
😂 here’s an old video that’ll answer your questions 😊 czcams.com/video/6jcjr96X9TM/video.htmlsi=ip2KA0xx5bpQ-e7l
Thank you for the video. I am hoping to buy a home with a pool and I was afraid I would not be able to afford the upkeep but after viewing your video I can rethink the matter and do more investigating. Has your pool expense increased since this video as I see it was a year ago. Any info. more you could impart would be most appreciated. Blessings,
Clinton
I’ll have a second video with update, stay tuned 😊
I live in TX- only me and my son in 2300 sq f house- no pool. I pay $380 on electricity in summer.
Hahaha here’s an update czcams.com/video/Z72n4JcNycA/video.htmlsi=40ci_slEey2fZ8Sv
How much did the actual pool cost plus installation
Hello! Total came out to $62k
Hello, Norma,
I heard pebble was one of the best but that’s an opinion. What made y’all go with the other style pool and if possible what was the original cost? Did y’all have re-install sod? Was your pool higher and did they have to adjust your back yard at a higher level? How did y’all manage your pool during the freeze? Did y’all keep the pump running?
Hello, so I had a vision of how I wanted the pool designed and at our first consultation with the pool contractor they drew it out for us and looked just how I imagined it. They give you options and recommendations, ours was perfect but we needed a retaining wall / back wall since our backyard had a slope. There was no need to adjust our backyard. We did not reinstall grass we added garden rock all around. During the freeze we kept our pumps running and water features on all the time and everything went well, thankfully! 🙏🏼 plaster is economical, the only con is susceptible to discoloring and staining. With proper maintenance it can last up to 25 years. Pebble tec is rough although very durable we don’t like how it feels on skin and damages swim wear. We have friends with pebble tec and we always have to wear swim shoes or we get cuts. Total cost for pool was $65k
@@normavargass, thank you for the information. I’m considering a pool myself. Your video informative and helpful.
@@normavargass65k yikes!!! I beautiful though. I have a very old pool I’m thinking about remodeling. I’m dreading the estimate.
@@kayabe856
Ha, 65k is insanely discounted nowadays. That pool will be 100k or more now.
Hi , tgank you for your video
Can I ask if you build this pool or just bought the house with pool ? And if you build so what was the cost of the pool project in your house ?
Thank you so much
Hi! We build our pool it was 60k
🙏
What city in Texas are you in? What was the overall cost of construction? I’m considering purchasing around the Houston area. Houses with pools seem to charge quite a premium. Wondering if its best to buy one without a pool and then build a pool later.
I’m in the Houston area, as of now your best would probably be buying a house with a pool in my opinion. Pool prices have spike quite a lot, I mean homes have too but to build a pool is ridiculous pricing from what I’ve heard. This company was Casey’s Pools. Luckily everything turned out well and have enjoyed our pool and spa so much. A pool just like ours is now priced at 98k from the exact same company.
Best of luck!
I'm in Baytown, thinking about buying a home with a pool, however the home is older. My question is, is your home energy efficient and are the amounts you shared also the same this past summer when everything went up?
@@juanmbenavides yes our home is energy efficient, the only utility that has gotten up is energy. That ofcourse due to raise in the killawatts, before we paid .11cents per kw now .19!!!! Huge difference, so a few dollars more we are now paying on electricity 😄
We finna see … ya feel me
Superb video !!!!
Who built your pool?
Pools are very costly AN EXPENCE THAT DOES NOT GO AWAY
Hello love the pool and all the info it was very helpful, my family and I will start getting estimates soon. I live in Houston as well can you give me the pool company information, I would like to have them come out.!! thanks
Glad it was helpful! Our builder was Caseys Pools. Best of luck
120?? Cali would of been through the roof
thanks for sharing
Welcome 😊
Are you related to Rosa Vargas?
@@AEB419 no ☺️
Your bills are soooo cheap! Florida here $300 month electric, 1200 sq ft house. Water is over $200 month for a family of 4 without a pool
Here’s an update 😊 czcams.com/video/Z72n4JcNycA/video.htmlsi=40ci_slEey2fZ8Sv
Bills in 2023 where something else lol
Good looking pool🎉
Thank you!
Oh my word!!! All that stuff running and your electric is only 200 bucks? WHAAAAA I don't even have a pool (Yet) just the normal household electric and ours is about 350 a month here in Alabama..... Dont move to Alabama I swear its the most expensive state I ever lived in when it came to utilities......love your pool....
TY🤍🫶🏼
@@kirstylynn3723 No I am not on budget billing and my water is around 40 bucks a month but the electric now that is another story. Although this months bill was only 218ish so yay for my pocket book this month.....hope next month is the same we shall see.....
❤❤❤
I’d rather have a house with a pool instead of build one.
Same! It’s so stressful
Then I can just worry about not wearing swim trunks to swim.
Might be time to move ! California's just not the place to be anyone 😮💨
