The short answer
A new gunite pool with Kleinpeter Pools starts at $90K, with financing available plus the usual payment methods. National cost guides put mid-size gunite builds roughly in the $70K–$115K range — where yours lands depends on the design, which is why Rex prices it from your yard and your plans, not a package chart.
What drives the price
- Size and shape — a compact rectangle and a large freeform are different builds
- Decking and coping — how much finished surface goes around the pool
- Equipment — pump, filter, heater, lighting, and automation choices
- Features — tanning ledges, water features, spas, and lighting packages
- Your yard — access, slope, and soil all affect the dig and the shell work
Some builders advertise a low package price that covers a small pool and a short list of basics. Before you compare numbers, compare what's actually included — and ask who maintains the pool after it's built.
Built to maintain, not just built to sell
Rex builds the pool and can service it after — weekly service from $325/month, chemicals included. The person who builds your pool knowing he'll be the one cleaning it builds it differently. More on the build side: gunite pool builders in Baton Rouge.
