Have You Dreamed Of Having a Hot Tub By Your Pool But Are Worried About The Cost?

Written By Glenn Prescot

According to a pool remodeling company in Houston, more and more people want hot tubs out by the pool because of the convenience and benefits they offer.

However, what people don’t like is the price. While above ground hot tubs can be installed for as little as $500, a built-in hot tub can run you thousands.

Still, it’s an investment worth considering, and if you’re thinking about such an investment, this article will shed light on the benefits of taking the plunge.

Above Ground Hot Tub Costs

If you’re thinking about an above ground hot tub, there are a few factors that dictate the price including:

  • The type of tub
  • Any additional accessories you want
  • Where the tub is located
  • The brand

One of the primary benefits to an above ground hot tub other than the price is their portability. If you install it in one area and decide you want to move it later, it’s no problem. Also, above ground hot tubs can be installed almost anywhere you want, and you can take it down if you won’t use it for a while.

Built-in Hot Tub Costs

As mentioned above, a built-in hot tub is considerably more expensive than an above ground hot tub. If you’re looking at a built-in tub, you can expect to pay anywhere from $12,000 to $20,000. However, as with the above-ground variety, the cost of the built-in hot tub depends on factors such as

  • Size of the tub and materials used
  • Accessories
  • Location of the tub
  • Brand

Think About A Size

To better accommodate your family and those who will use the hot tub, keep in mind these standard sizes.

Types of Hot Tubs

Soft-Side Inflatable Tubs

Another option is to go with a soft-side inflatable tub, which is an above-ground tub and is made of vinyl. These tubs are inflated, which makes them portable and easy to install.

Wooden Hot Tubs

Many people like wood because of the way they look. You can get wood hot tubs in a variety of styles including teak, cedar, and redwood. However, unlike other above ground hot tubs, wooden ones aren’t portable, and they’re heavy, which means you need a solid base on which to install them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is a popular choice for its longevity and attractiveness. However, these come at a steep price; a decent acrylic hot tub will run you anywhere from $11,000 to $16,000. Also, acrylic is easy to maintain, but like wood, it’s heavy.

Factors That Dictate The Hot Tub Installation Cost

There are a variety of factors that go into the cost of installing a hot tub including whether you’re installing it on your porch or pool deck; the plumbing and electrical setup, and whether you need a building permit to install it.

A hot tub is an excellent addition to your home, and you will find something you’ll enjoy regardless of your budget.
