Aquarius built mine in 2018. Very happy with them.

The owner passed away recently and now the son has taken over, so not sure if anything has changed.

Nola Pools
Smoketree

Those are two of the best imo

They definitely are expensive but you get what you pay for

100%. Smoketree's prices is a better reflection on the demographic they cater to than the quality of work. Not that their work quality is inherently bad, but a lot of those companies - bigger and smaller - use the same subs.

We used Carribean Pools and Landscpaing and were very happy with them.

Second Caribbean Pools. Super easy to work with, our pool came out great and Taylor always kept me updated throughout the project. They also didn't rely on sub contractors.

Also used Caribbean Pools and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Taylor was great to work with throughout the process.

Aquarius quoted me almost 100k for what I think is a pretty standard pool with spa. I was expecting 75-80, do I just have low expectations?

Greg's Pools & Spas

If you're after "Lagoon Style" he's the best by a long shot

In the process with Oasis pools for a traditional pool with a sun deck/spa. So far so good.

$100K for a pool is probably the median these days. $75K is on the lower end with no frills or landscaping. My boss spent $135K on his peanut shaped pool during covid which includes a chiller, heater, fire bowls, tanning deck, lighting everywhere, and fully landscaped. It's nice but nothing extravagant. Like everything else in this world, pool prices aren't going down. Builder A tells Builder B he charges $ Xxxxx for a custom pool. Overnight Builder B increases his prices since people will pay it.

Yeah at this point I’ll just use the neighborhood pool. Ridiculous how expensive pools have gotten.
