More on Fiberglass Pools →Vinyl Liner Pools: $35,000-$65,000 installed
For context: vinyl liner is the lowest-cost new-construction method nationally, but it's uncommon in the Houston market and is not a service Pool Builders Sugar Land offers, most local new construction is gunite or fiberglass. See Gunite vs. Fiberglass vs. Vinyl Pools for why.
What Typically Adds to the Base Price
Decking, fencing, a heater, and electrical work typically add roughly 15-30% above the base shell price listed above, this is well-supported across the industry and is exactly why a quote can look higher than a headline number: those items usually aren't included in it. See Hidden Costs of Pool Ownership for the fuller breakdown of what else factors into total cost.

Local Factors That Affect Your Number
Riverstone and First Colony both require architectural control committee approval for pool and backyard plans, including review of fencing and setbacks relative to the deed restrictions, which is handled during the design phase. Fort Bend County clay soil, similar to Katy’s, needs a properly engineered gunite shell to handle the seasonal expansion and contraction rather than a generic footing.
