How do we charge for the pool?


Champagne Pools uses an ala carte pricing. Since our pools are usually custom designs, the pricing follows. Each phase has a cost factor to build from excavation all the way to the interior finish. You have labor and material that you include, then overhead and profit margins. We have our own pricing software that has the designer fill in areas and automatically calculates the price.
