We are based in Coral Springs, and we have built and serviced pools in almost every neighborhood here since 2009. Eagle Trace, Heron Bay, The Hills, Ramblewood, Turtle Run. After enough of those projects, you start hearing the same sentence from homeowners: “I wish somebody had told me that before we started.”
So here it is, before you start. What a pool actually costs in Coral Springs, how long it really takes, what the city requires, and the handful of decisions that matter far more than people expect.
The Short Answer on Cost
A custom concrete pool in Coral Springs generally runs from about $55,000 for a clean, well built design to $120,000 or more once you add a spa, premium finishes, full paver decking and outdoor living features.
Here is how that usually breaks down. These are market ranges for planning, not a quote. Your lot, your access and your selections move these numbers.
| Component | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Concrete (gunite) pool, standard size | $50,000 to $85,000 |
| Pool and spa combination | $85,000 to $140,000 |
| Integrated spa added to a new build | $8,000 to $18,000 |
| Paver deck standard size (800 to 1,000 sq ft) | $25 to $50 per sq ft |
| Screen enclosure | $15,000 to $50,000 |
| Equipment package (variable speed pump, filter, salt system) | $5,000 to $12,000 |
| Heat pump heater, installed | $5,000 to $10,000 |
| Automation and smart controls | $1,500 to $3,500 |
| LED lighting | $1,500 to $5,000 |
| Water features | $2,000 to $8,800 |
Two things move a Coral Springs project inside those ranges more than anything else: the size and shape of the pool, and how much of the surrounding backyard is part of the project. A pool by itself is one budget. A pool with a paver deck, outdoor kitchen and shade structure is another, and doing it as one project is almost always cheaper than adding pieces year by year.
What Your Neighbors Wish They Had Known
1. Permitting takes longer than construction feels like it should
Nothing visible happens for weeks while plans sit in review with the City of Coral Springs and Broward County. That is normal, not a stalled project. If your community has an HOA architectural review, start that at the same time, because it is frequently the longest single wait in the whole schedule.
2. Gunite has to cure, and it cannot be rushed
The shell gets sprayed in a single day and suddenly looks like a pool. Then it sits and cures for one to four weeks while it gains strength. Every homeowner asks about this stage. Rushing it weakens the structure permanently, so we do not.
3. Run the utilities now, even if the kitchen comes later
This is the one that costs people real money. Stubbing gas, water and electrical during construction is inexpensive. Cutting into a finished paver deck two years later to reach the same spot is not.
4. Deck material decides whether you use the backyard in July
Standard gray concrete gets hot enough that nobody walks on it barefoot at two in the afternoon. Travertine and porcelain pavers stay noticeably cooler, and in this climate that is a usability decision, not a style one.
5. Equipment choices are where long term cost is decided
A variable speed pump, correctly sized filtration and automation cost more on day one and less every month after. Automation in particular changes ownership, because temperature, lighting and cleaning schedules move to your phone instead of your memory.
How Long It Takes
- Design and 3D visualization: 2 to 5 weeks
- HOA architectural review, where it applies: 2 to 8 weeks
- Engineering and permitting: 4 to 10 weeks
- Construction: 10 to 16 weeks
- Startup and handoff: 1 to 4 weeks
From the first meeting to the first swim, most Coral Springs projects run five to eight months. Any builder giving you a firm completion date before permits are approved is guessing.
What Coral Springs and Broward Require
Every new residential pool in Florida falls under the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act, which requires at least one approved safety feature. That generally means a barrier at least four feet high, an approved safety pool cover, exit alarms on doors and windows with direct pool access, or self closing and self latching devices on those doors.
Beyond safety, expect setback requirements, drainage review and electrical bonding inspections. Your builder should be handling all of it inside the permit package. Requirements vary by property, so confirm specifics with the City of Coral Springs Building Division before you finalize a design.
Questions to Ask Before You Hire Anyone
- Can I have your license number so I can verify it myself?
- Can you show me finished pools you built in Coral Springs, not renders?
- Is the proposal itemized, so I can see where the money goes?
- Who is my point of contact during construction, and how often will I hear from them?
- How are change orders priced and approved?
- Do you service pools after you build them?
That last question matters more than it sounds. A company that also services pools has a reason to install equipment that is easy to maintain, and a relationship with you that continues past the final payment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build a pool in Coral Springs, FL?
Most custom concrete pools start around $55,000 and run to $120,000 or more depending on size, spa, decking, equipment and outdoor living features. A site evaluation is the only way to get a real number for your backyard.
How long does pool construction take in Coral Springs?
Usually 10 to 16 weeks of construction once permits are approved. Including design, HOA review and permitting, plan on five to eight months total.
Do I need a permit to build a pool in Coral Springs?
Yes. New pool construction requires permitting through the City of Coral Springs with structural, electrical and plumbing review, plus inspections during construction. Your builder should manage the entire process.
Should I build the deck and outdoor kitchen at the same time as the pool?
Usually yes. One project window is more cost effective than phasing, and it means the pool, deck and outdoor living areas are designed as one space instead of three separate ones.
Can you build during hurricane season?
Yes. Weather affects scheduling between June and November, so we sequence around it rather than stopping work.
What equipment should I ask for?
At minimum a variable speed pump, correctly sized filtration and automation. A heat pump heater and salt chlorination are the two most common additions in Coral Springs, and both affect what the pool costs you every month.
