How Much Does a Pool Cost in Madison?
Most fiberglass pool installations in Madison range from $55,000 to $150,000, depending on pool size, backyard access, soil conditions, and the features you choose. Madison's mix of clay and sandy soil near the lakes can occasionally require extra excavation work, but fiberglass shells handle Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles better than any other pool type.
Lot sizes in Madison vary widely. Homes near the UW campus and the Isthmus tend to have tighter yards, while suburbs like Maple Bluff, Shorewood Hills, and the far west side offer generous space for full-size pools with patios, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. We have models that fit every scenario.
With Dane County property values consistently among the highest in Wisconsin, a pool is one of the smartest outdoor investments a Madison homeowner can make. Our pricing follows a simple $1,500 per linear foot rule so you can budget accurately from day one.
