Lot size, typical scope, and the local market all shift the number. Palm Beach Gardens has the highest median budget of our five cities. Boca Raton has the widest range — 92 quoted projects, from small resurfaces up to a $266,000 custom build — while Boynton Beach has both the lowest median and the lowest ceiling, topping out at $111,130.
| City | Quoted projects | Median budget | Median new construction | Median, $40k+ projects | Largest quoted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boca Raton | 92 | $47,040 | $99,88626 builds | $95,000 | $266,000 |
| Delray Beach | 23 | $51,490 | $95,0043 builds | $79,270 | $219,160 |
| Boynton Beach | 23 | $19,000 | $84,2805 builds | $74,560 | $111,130 |
| Palm Beach Gardens | 12 | $72,778 | $102,0003 builds | $115,520 | $168,920 |
| Parkland | 12 | $45,669 | $127,0301 build | $77,500 | $265,050 |
These are quoted project budgets, not final contract prices — nothing here is a national average or an estimate from a blog post; every figure comes from a real proposal in one of these five cities.
What actually pushes the price up?
An integrated spa with its own equipment package, an infinity or negative edge that requires more precise engineering, premium deck material like marble or travertine over standard pavers, site access that requires extra equipment mobilization, and soil conditions that call for additional structural work all move the number more than the size of the pool itself.
What's included in these numbers?
Every figure above is a full project budget — design, engineering, permitting, excavation, materials, and installation — not a base package price with the rest quoted separately once you're already committed.
Is a renovation priced the same as a new pool?
No — new construction and renovation are really two different questions with two different answers, and a single blended number hides more than it reveals.

Yes, and they're really two different questions. New construction has run from a median of about $84,280 in Boynton Beach to $102,000 in Palm Beach Gardens, with Boca Raton — our largest sample, 26 new builds — at $99,886. Renovation is typically less, from about $39,722 to $63,394 median, unless the project is a full reconstruction of the shell, which runs closer to new-build pricing.
These are full project budgets — design, engineering, permitting, excavation, materials, and installation — not a base package price with everything else quoted separately afterward.
