Few upgrades transform a backyard like an inground pool. Yet the first question our residential clients ask is simple: “What is the inground pool cost in Ohio?” CountBricks delivers the answer in real time. By blending AI-powered takeoffs, live material pricing and local labor data, we remove the guesswork and put accurate, actionable numbers in your hands before excavation begins.
Ohio’s average residential inground pool lands between $48,000 and $95,000, but ranges widen fast based on site conditions, finishes and features. CountBricks pinpoints your actual spend by mapping every cost driver to your ZIP code and preferred spec level.
• Excavation and soil haul-off
• Gunite, fiberglass or vinyl shell system
• Plumbing, pumps and filtration
• Electric service upgrades
• Decking, coping and hardscape tie-ins
• Permits, inspections and municipal fees
• Optional heaters, covers, automation and lighting
• Frost depth: Deeper footings in northern counties add concrete and labor
• Water tables: High groundwater along lakefront zones may require de-watering
• Utility access: Rural lots sometimes need longer trench runs for power
• Code variance: City-specific fencing, alarms and setback rules adjust material counts
Our voice-driven workflow lets homeowners or builders walk through the design in minutes. As you speak, CountBricks AI builds the scope, assigns local crew productivity rates and pulls material costs from integrated suppliers. The result: a line-item estimate and Gantt-style schedule you can revise on the fly.
