FAQ
When is the best time to build a pool?
Don’t wait, get started now! Pools can be built any time of the year as long as the ground is not frozen solid. If you want to be ready for the start of swim season, start in late fall of the year.
How much does a Desjoyaux pool cost?
Pools typically start around $40,000 and go up from there. The price is driven by size, shape, and depth; personalization of the pool (tanning ledges, spas, type of stairs, etc); and the area around the pool (decking, retaining walls, hardscapes, etc.).
How long does it take to build a pool?
A Desjoyaux pool usually takes 5-6 weeks after we receive permits from local building authority. Of course, weather and the complexity of the pool and the surrounding area will add time.
Can a Desjoyaux pool be a saltwater pool?
Absolutely, 95% of the pools we build are saltwater. There really aren’t any options that you could want that cannot be added to a Desjoyaux pool.
How much does it cost to maintain a Desjoyaux pool?
The cost to maintain a pool is very dependent on the size. However, budgeting between $35 and $85 during the summer months is about right. Either way, it is much less than other pool types.
Can Desjoyaux renovate my existing pool?
Absolutely, yes. One advantage of the Desjoyaux system is that we not only renovate, but often change the shape, updating tired stairs, unusable shapes, and damaged or ugly decking.
Does Desjoyaux offer financing for my pool build?
Desjoyaux does not directly offer financing but has strong partnerships with the industry leaders in pool build financing. We will help you get started with the right company for your financing needs.
Can I do any size and shape I want?
Generally, yes. Of course all designs have to meet national and local codes and standards.
National Pool Code requires a fence around your pool. There are some very specific requirements and we can help you get what is code compliant, looks good, and is within your budget.

Does a swimming pool add value to my home?
Yes, a swimming pool can add value to a house, but it depends on various factors. Here are some key considerations:
- Location and Climate: In warm climates or areas where swimming is popular, a pool can be a desirable feature, increasing the value of a home. However, in colder climates or areas where pools are less common, the added value may be minimal.
- Market Demand: Assess the local real estate market to determine if swimming pools are in high demand. If many buyers in your area are looking for homes with pools, it can positively impact the value of your property.
- Property Size: The size of the property plays a role in determining the impact of a swimming pool on value. If the property is spacious and leaves enough room for other outdoor activities even with the pool, it is more likely to be seen as a valuable addition.
- Pool Condition and Design: The quality and design of the pool matter. A well-maintained pool with modern features, attractive landscaping, and safety measures will have a more positive impact on the value than a neglected or outdated pool.
- Upkeep Costs: Consider the ongoing costs of maintaining a pool. Some potential buyers may see the maintenance expenses and time commitment as a drawback, potentially affecting the perceived value.
- Buyer Preferences: Ultimately, the value added by a pool depends on the preferences of potential buyers. Some buyers may prioritize a pool, while others may not be interested or may see it as a liability. Understanding the preferences of your target market is crucial.
It’s advisable to consult with a local real estate agent or appraiser who can provide insights specific to your area and property. They will have a better understanding of the local market dynamics and can help evaluate how a swimming pool may impact your home’s value.
